Belgian artist Anita Thevissen makes watercolor and ink paintings that investigate the psychology of human beings and their responses to life’s circumstances. In Lifeline for example, partially-covered female figures hang from a clothing line, as if suspended in mid-air in a state of existential uncertainty. Living in a Box depicts a naked woman sheltering inside a cardboard box, trying to escape the pressing demands of the outside world. Looking at You and Do I Seduce You show close-ups of female bodies that exude sensuality, yet betray a certain existential uneasiness, as revealed by the positions of their hands or the look in their eyes. Thevissen’s attentive, yet compassionate look unveils the struggles and complexities of our society; caught between artificial stimuli and an inward pull towards self-examination. Her work spurs reflection on our intimate relationship with the environment, ourselves, and others.
