SALT: Solo exhibition by Laurent Proux at Tinimini Room
t/m 4 december 2023
‘The exhibition title Salt refers to des mauvais gens, bad people, whose salty attitudes leave a bad taste in our mouths. It also refers to how salt water is not potable for us humans, and how two simple elements that are necessary for us to survive become completely useless when combined, since saltwater doesn’t quench our thirst but only increases it. It is a paradox, a contradiction, that is visible in the paintings in which we see the portrayed people laying down in the hot sun, waiting for rain, relocation, or some other kind of relief.’
