Julie Balsaux

Julie Ballsaux is one of the people who only stand up because they are advancing, they act and they constantly invent, and first of all their lives, every day, as if they were placed under the immediate threat of bottomless despair. Because they have to launch a paper plane against the absurdity of the world, and the world is heavy, it is a question each time to tear up on the ground, to bring up the momentum of a jump which we would like him to last infinitely. So we are somewhere between the energy of the gesture and the slow movement of the clouds. Drawing, installation, writing, sound proposals, each piece is an attempt to talk about the world while escaping it. Each idea opens onto a bet, the confrontation with the manufacture, the pleasure of a technical and artisanal implementation, and the desire that this manipulation disappears in a joyful and yet derisory jubilation. / Jean Cristofol 2012.The "Time-Line" series from which the A3 formats presented, is a series produced since 2012. The practice of drawing Julie Balsaux offers a surgical recovery of press photographs and visuals sought on the net to different periods. Since 2012, the artist has been traveling digital newspapers and chooses an image per month. This image is then accompanied by a text relating or not the image. The titration is then in dissonance between the impact of the image and the text. This series is positioned as a time marker, a witness space in the world through the media and digital networks. The troubles, small formats laminated on wood are the beginnings of this image practice. School practice started in 2009, the questioning of social class status is taking shape in this teenage imagery. She proposes to compose a "wall of images" with the same status as a teenager would do it by covering the walls of his room. The series "Les Grosses Dames", all of which are not presented here offer the same approach on images from pornography. The discourse of the drawing carries in a poetic aesthetic and brings bodies to their fragility, to a serious and disturbing sensuality. These hidden images of the net are exhibited in gallery with the troubled eyes of its visitors. Julie Ballsaux received a certificate of distinction of the & nbsp; Luxembourg Art Prize in 2021.
