BELGIUM

Chloé Coomans diversifies her explorations by delving into various disciplines, such as sculpture, ceramics, drawing, painting, screen printing, engraving, video, and installation. Her versatile universe invites us to discover a world with dreamlike dimensions that questions the origins and future of our humanity. It connects us to our universal archaic memory, offering alternative possibilities and resisting trivialization, transforming the violence of our actions into tenderness, even during an intoxicated evening.

Her vocabulary is poetic, engaged, utopian, and universal. It constantly oscillates between love and revolution, innocence and cruelty, silent beauty, and unapologetic ugliness. Revolting against the absurdities and injustices of our world, she becomes incisive, placing weapons on altars, attacking from all sides with Indian arrows, and burning the earth from above. Then, she lays down flowers to soften the hearts, preserving beauty and hope.
