BAPTISTE LEONNE

For the series 'Diva' Baptiste Leonne has developed a unique creative process which moves among mirror, painting and photography. The dynamic of light and shades in each work is reminiscent of a nostalgic aesthetic from another time; ancient goddesses and mythological statues are a source of inspiration for him, representing eternal feminine power yet at the same time symbolizing the beauty of imperfection. The current exhibition invites us to examine Leonne's 'Diva' as a collective, an imaginary tribe of women who transcend space and time. The reflection motif presented throughout the works glances back at us, evoking not only our own self-image but the way others see us.
