Isabelle Courtois Lacoste

The spaces created by Isabelle Courtois Lacoste resemble heterotopias, concrete spaces that host the imaginary.

Sometimes populated by ghostly figures, the pictorial space consists of overlapping layers, evoking enigmatic places, inner worlds nourished by memories of travels, childhood memories, and imagination, a sort of mental wandering that accumulates the fragments of these digressions. The experimentation and research related to the nature of the mediums used (the liquidity of ink, paint, or the use of imprint) reveal the random, a new starting point towards dreams and the imaginary. The elements summoned are arranged to propose a new reality made up of a utopian and fantasized iconography that bears the trace of a past or possible history.

Graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Versailles, her thought is expressed through different mediums: painting, printmaking, collages, sculpture, installation.
