Alix Delmas
Alix Delmas is a versatile, even protean artist, fundamentally experimental. The installations, photographs and videos she creates combine performance and sculpture, painting and light. Her vision disturbs our common perception of interior and exterior sites.
« From the very beginning, at the end of the 1990s, Alix Delmas’ plastic work was distinguished by what was to become a major topicality, a recurrent, obsessive aspect:
to displace bodies and landscapes – her own, those of her models plus ours, the viewers (-trices), by analogy – by positioning them in unexpected ways. Her work, in this case, confronts us with a common space, which we share with the artist. Space apprehended from another angle of perception and sensation, space made poetic for some, space deconstructed for others, in all cases enriched. » » Paul Ardenne, extract from Corps et milieux repositionnés, in « Alix Delmas, captures », 2019, editions LOCO
