Ellen de Bruijne

Annelise Coste
Le Retour des Colonisés
20 May – 24 June

New work by Annelise Coste is shown at Ellen de Bruijne PROJECTS.

The way Coste confronts and exposes conflicting emotions in her paintings is courageous and mature. She illustrates thinking processes through underlining, crossing over or obsessively repeating key words. In her work, rebellion and protest are never divorced from a fundamentally poetic relationship to reality, and communicate “an affinity with visual poetry“. (Nadia Schneider)
