Delaine Le Bas

Following my visit to the Whitechapel Gallery, I really wanted to look further into Delaine Le Bas, whose installation I saw at the gallery. I made extra notes when I got home after looking at photos of the installation (“House of Le Bas”) and their other works online:

Delaine le bas - further imagery

really like the idea of these roughly drawn / chaotic images
And then I think the inclusion of text is really integral to the message (makes it feel quite modern / pop art) - looking at treatment of gypsy people in the media
Lots of emphasis on the objects- layered over prints / photos / paintings - lots of cultural meaning here or the gypsy / Roma community
The way the installation is set up is something really important to me and my art - I get this real sense of chaos when I look at it due to the sheer sense of maximalism - this is definitely something I want to look at in my own work (although I will be looking more at femininity - so could perhaps find some relevant news articles / local events to tie into this)
The pair have a real distinct visual language for drawing as well - lots of eyes / roughly drawin faces = almost feels quite childlike - breaking down really huge issues and making it exciting to look at

I will try to find more of Le Bas’ works in London simply because I don’t feel as though the online images will completely do them justice - I want to look more at the textures of the work in person
