Galerie Nathalie Obadia: Victoria Palacios's first solo show
Brussels Rue Charles Decoster 8, Des signes, des scènes de Victoria Palacios - 21 March - 17 May 2025
Galerie Nathalie Obadia is pleased to present Des signes, des scènes, Victoria Palacios’s first solo exhibition 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....

ABOUT

Sinds de opening van haar eerste galerie in Parijs in 1993, gevolgd door Brussel in 2008 en een tweede ruimte in Parijs in 2013, heeft Nathalie Obadia opkomende en gevestigde kunstenaars uit de internationale hedendaagse kunstscene tentoongesteld. In de herfst van 2021 opent Galerie Nathalie Obadia een nieuwe ruimte in de wijk Matignon-Saint-Honoré in Parijs. De galerie is ook al vele jaren betrokken bij de herontdekking van overleden kunstenaars zoals Martin Barré, Josep Grau-Garriga en Seydou Keita. Het is ook de missie van de galerie om kunstenaars te promoten bij instellingen in Frankrijk en daarbuiten.
