Lisa Vlaemminck : Urschleim in silicon

In her third solo exhibition at rodolphe janssen, titled Urschleim in Silicon, Lisa Vlaemminck presents oil paintings on traditional rectangular canvases, as well as shaped canvases and a massive triptych. The paintings depict lacquered nails, raw pieces of meat, a bleeding human tongue, or naked pierced torsos connected by rings and chains, that disappear into nostrils where the chains vanish… the body is skewered, opened, dissected, and existing openings are connected to new ones, what’s inside wants to come out.
