About the work:
Extrospection is a piece from a series exploring my own body as a visible reflection of my inner history. Unlike emotions, which can be hidden, the body exposes itself, evolves in space, and remains visible to all.
Through this series of oil paintings on canvas made in my studio, I question how my body reveals itself to me: the flesh that folds and takes shape, the marks that reveal the uniqueness of my skin, its posture that transforms into an unconscious language.
But the body does not suffice by itself. The surrounding space becomes an extension of this exteriorized introspection. Elements come to inhabit the canvas, sometimes imagined, sometimes real, inscribing the body in a mental landscape, a staging that questions the impact of the environment in which the body exists.
The viewer can look, observe, scrutinize. He becomes a voyeur, while I become, deliberately, an exhibitionist. This implicit relationship, this silent face-to-face, questions our relation to the image of the body, to the gaze of others, and to the intimacy we choose – or do not choose – to reveal.
About the artist:
Born in 1986 in La Louvière (Belgium), G. Carta currently lives and works in France and Spain.
The artist tends to depict portraits or the body more frequently. A few genre scenes complete her collection.
