34. 34AR ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE(1946-2024) Chinese Vase, 2024 Signed and dated Acrylic and gouache on folded paper 49 x 66 cm 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. As usual, the artist plays with colour contrasts, skilfully combining shades from different palettes. Exhibition Isabelle de Borchgrave Studio, Brussels, Belgium - Colours, 2024
