Tirtzah BASSEL
Présentation
L'artiste américaine Tirtzah Bassel, basée à Brooklyn et née en 1979, crée des images et des installations qui proposent aux spectateurs de percevoir le familier d’une manière inattendue. Ses peintures figuratives et ses installations attirent l’attention sur la neutralité présumée d’espaces précis comme les aéroports ou les supermarchés, et « Canon in Drag » - une série de peintures qui reprend des grands classiques - questionnent l’autorité des images canoniques à travers une inversion des genres et une altération de la narration.
