WHITE SPIRIT, part. 2
-solo show curated by Tania Nasielski-

Truc-Anh – White Spirit part. 2

The second part of a monographic project proposed by curator Tania Nasielski to Truc-Anh at 105 Besme in Brussels,
White Spirit, part 2 presents a whole new body of paintings by the French artist.

This double exhibition project mirrors Truc-Anh’s multi-layered and dual work, where animate and inanimate objects, matter and spirit, gravity and weightlessness co-inhabit. As a key to the artist’s work – where the body, the mask, fantasies and their representations often recurr - White Spirit connects both exhibitions. White Spirit, part 2 confronts a series of large-scale and multi-layered paintings with a series of sober black inks on paper.

In his paintings, photographs and videos, Truc-Anh questions the bodies and objects around us and the intensity of their presence. Mundane objects become strange creatures, creating a feeling of the uncanny, a gap between the very object and our perception of it.
Truc-Anh uses the canvas as a palimpsest where new visions, faces and figures appear layer upon layer, creating forms which gather the consistency of matter and the evanescence of spirit.

Truc-Anh was born in Paris in 1983. He lives and works in Brussels. He went to Ecole Supérieure d'Art Appliqués Boulle in Paris, was awarded a post grad at the Haute Ecole suisse des Arts in Lausanne and a Masters at ENSAV la Cambre in Brussels. He won the Prix de la Fondation Manganel in Lausanne and was selected as a finalist for Art’Contest 07 in Brussels as well as for the Award of the Minister of Education and POZE at Bozar. He was awarded the 2009 PhotoEuropa prize in Paris. Since 2006 he has exhibited in group shows in Belgium and abroad and in solo shows in France and in the Netherlands.

Tania Nasielski is a curator and critic. She curated the project Plasticiens en mouvement at the Dakar Biennale and at De Markten in Brussels ; Tales of the city at Artefiera Bologna ; and Hexen 2039 at Chelsea Space, Science Museum and British Museum in London. Since BRXL BRAVO 2007, her flat regularly turns into an exhibition space where she invites emerging and confirmed Belgian and international artists.
