“Mommie Dearest” is a solo exhibition by Lucile Littot. Taking from ancient and contemporary mythologies, Lucile Littot’s work draws references from both the field of scholarly and popular culture to create a world of shared fantasy.
About
Inspired by the homonymous film by Frank Perry, the artist develops a series of paintings and ceramics for "Mommie Dearest" that explore identity formation, childhood trauma, body fetishization, Hollywood archetypes, kitsch, glamour and psychedelia with a satirical approach. Littot injects a dose of humor to her subjects in order to present her own version of Artaud´s “Theatre of cruelty” and to raise questions around our illusions of and expectations in life.
The exhibition is realised through the support of Fondation des Artistes (FR).
