Embodied
In “Embodied,” Claire Prouvost invites viewers to engage in a profound exploration of self through a selection of new works. This exhibition reflects on how our experiences and identities are expressed through our bodies and how our physical presence influences our emotional and psychological states.
Prouvost’s paintings act as self-portraits, capturing the essence of feeling. Using techniques like fragmentation and varied perspectives, she distorts the human form, highlighting the gap between how we appear and how we feel inside. The artworks embody a spectrum of states—sometimes monstrous, at times constricted, resting or dynamic—while simultaneously yearning for connection, love, and solace.
The female body, often constrained by cultural ideals that promote objectification, is powerfully reimagined in this collection. Prouvost’s emotional landscapes confront these limitations, presenting a constant state of change and questioning surrounding identity, desire and fertility, offering her vision on the unseen depths of our lived experiences.
