Alexandra Pignon
Ik kies ervoor om mijn dubbelzinnige persoonlijkheid te verkennen en uit te drukken door middel van gemengde technieken, gebaseerd op twee media, fotografie en schilderen. De algemene aanpak van dit onderzoek weerspiegelt mijn ambivalentie.

I think photos are sometimes incomplete despite their technical accuracy. The meaning of my photographs was often limited and only partially evident. Instead of exalting the mechanical origin of the medium or some digital properties, refusing any standardization, I came to take photos both with and without lens. To take picture without lens, I transform my basic camera by using a lens cap and covering the large hole drilled into it with plastic wrap. As objects lose their real appearance, I forget the immediate subject and can fully concentrate on light and shapes. I call these raw pictures “Free_Lens”. Photographs taken with a lens are used to place a part of my abstract imagery in a figurative context.

My acrylics which I call “Naked Walls”, suggest the emotional and sensitive obstacles I meet when expressing my identity. They present a restrained palette of color on highly textured surfaces made by various materials. Most of them are made of two different canvases to express the duality of my gender.
I call them "deep"tychs", a reference to the Deep House music flowing sometimes in my atelier.
For this work I use house painter tools and techniques.

Refusing any standardization, I came to take photos both with and without lens (see Free_Lens Project Collection).
Photographs taken with a lens are used to place a part of my abstract imagery in a figurative context.
I create an original digital work by layering photos of my paintings over these straight photographic shots, using image editing software.
This digital mix, which I call “Hybrid”, explores themes such as the appearance and perception of identity in a social environment.
It became my way of challenging the viewer, addressing worries I may have and expressing myself freely.
