What guides us from one movement to the next, directing the ebb and flow of our bodies?
Lore Stessel, an artist based in Brussels, Belgium, delves into this very question, navigating the intersection between photography and painting. Her work consistently grapples with the tension between the human body and its surroundings, revealing how our impulses to move are shaped by the forces of the external world.
In her captivating series, As the Sky Remembers the Sea, Stessel captures the unique nuances of her subjects, inviting us to observe the restrained energy of their gestures. We are drawn to follow the delicate thread that links their internal intentions with their outward expressions.
Stessel’s process is as tactile as the subjects she portrays, using both photography and painting to bring her figures to life on expansive, life-sized canvases. In her ethereal works, we glimpse how our movements are orchestrated by the ceaseless interaction between ourselves and the spaces we inhabit – constantly shifting, always fleeting.
