Description

DELPHINE BOËL; Delfina of Saxe-Coburg (Uccle, Belgium, 1968). "Never Give Up-black & red," 2020. Indian Ink and glitter on paper. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Attached certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Measurements: 75.5 x 39.5 cm; 87.5 x 52 cm (frame). "Never give up" is a phrase that recurs in Boël's work. In fact, in 2017, the Musee d'Ixelles in the Belgian capital dedicated a retrospective exhibition entitled "Delphine Never Give Up" to her, demonstrating the relevance of these words for the author. In an interview in the Vanguard Delphine Boël commented "I don't see words and letters like everyone else. I see them as drawings and I am aware of their potential on people. Words can make you happy or destroy you, they are among the most powerful things there are." In her drawings and collages Delphine Boël explores, in the same way as in her installations and sculptures, chromatic and compositional formulas to access the most festive and hedonistic part of the viewer. She wants to transmit a positive message, recovering the calls for peace of the sixties, thus rescuing the optimism and innocence of yesteryear. Delphine Boël is a Belgian princess and sculptor. She is the extramarital daughter of King Albert II of Belgium with Baroness Sibylla de Selys Longchamps. She trained at the Chelsea School of Art, London (1991). He has participated in numerous international exhibitions and events. Selection of recent solo exhibitions: 2023 "Love Imperfection" Bicester Collection, Maasmechelen Village, Belgium 2022 "What Is to Come Is Better Than What Was" Linda and Guy Pieters Foundation, St. Tropez, France. 2021 "I Love You.
