1. 1AR ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE(1946-2024) In the garden, 2023-2024 Signed and dated Acrylic and gouache on pleated paper Dyptique 99 x 84 cm each Pleating is a veritable trademark and determines the majority of Isabelle de Borchgrave's pictorial and sculptural work. Inspired by the pleated fabric of Mariano Fortuny (1871-1949, textile designer), synonymous with elegance, luxury and sensuality in the early 1900s, Isabelle de Borchgrave's series of pleated works seizes on the codes of this technique and creates anamorphes on flat paper to reveal a result modified by the puckering of the paper. The original of this work can be found in a travel diary the artist kept during a cruise to the Ionian Islands in Greece in 2021.
