7. 7AR ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE(1946-2024) African chandelier, 2018 Signature stamp Paper chandelier with acrylic and gouache 50 x 185 x 118 cm Regretting never having travelled to the African continent, the artist takes us on a 'Journey around my bedroom'. The energy of Africa, its colours, its power and its faces led her into a creative whirlwind that led her to organise the travelling exhibition Africa inside me. This unique, ethereal and dreamlike chandelier was part of the exhibition, immersing visitors in the artist's own vision of this vibrant continent. For this exhibition, Isabelle de Borchgrave drew her inspiration from African fabrics and art. She gave pride of place to bright colours in her pleated paper paintings, and also presented some of her other creations, ranging from bronze furniture to lighting.
