Galerie Nathalie Obadia: Victoria Palacios's first solo show

Brussels, Rue Charles Decoster 8, Des signes, des scènes by Victoria Palacios - 21 March - 17 May 2025
NOCTURNE - Wednesday, April 23rd, 6-9pm
With the “Double Contact” performance at 8pm (20min)
Accompanied by Dennis Vanderauwera, Simon Joostens and Mathilde Chaize

Galerie Nathalie Obadia is pleased to present Victoria Palacios’s first solo exhibition, Des signes, des scènes, at the gallery in Brussels. Born in 1992 in Rennes, the French artist has lived and worked in Brussels for several years. She graduated in performance and painting from the École de Recherche Graphique (ERG) in 2019. Through a multidisciplinary practice combining painting, music, and performance, Victoria Palacios immerses visitors in a theatrical world of layered narratives, blending the sublime with the unsettling. The exhibition unveils new paintings, objects, and other recent works, in which captivating figures awake. Each piece seems suspended between the ecstasy of a celebration at its height and the melancholy of a spectacle drawing to a close.

Clowns, swans, veiled widows, and ghostly figures greet visitors in procession.The objects depicted come to life as well: they dance—like the bagpipe (biniou)—or sway in sinuous curves, like a lamp post beckoning spectators to follow. Little by little, visitors may come to realise they are watching the spectacle of their own lives: an existence shaped by fetishes, improvisations, laughter, wounds and bereavements, encounters and harmonies as impromptu as they are orchestrated....
