Skin of a Storm exhibition at Almine Rech Tribeca features Inès Longevial's exploration of human form and skin through various mediums. The oil paintings are created in a 'flow-state,' reflecting the luminosity and unapologetic nature of self-portraits. Drawings introduce a deadpan gaze, merging elements like ballet slippers and snakes to evoke transformation and myth-making. Monotypes reveal a dynamic relationship with skin, illustrating its capacity to narrate the artist's experiences of change, victories, and depth. The exhibition runs until August 1, accompanied by a publication titled Visage Théâtre.
For Inès Longevial, a body is a home. It's an ethos reflected in her self-portraiture - diaristic captures, rich with washes of crimson, chantilly and ultramarine.
Central to the exhibition is a suite of new oil paintings completed in a one-sitting 'flow-state' where the female form becomes a surface littered with subtle footnotes.
Facial features become one with sharp pliés and ballet slippers, snakes and butterflies, suggesting themes of transformation, myth-making and the dream of freedom.
Skin narrates the artist's relation to her changing world - stretching, sagging, morphing and reflecting altercations or victories no one could know the true depth of.
