Lebasille - a pseudonym of Isabelle - is a visual artist born in Antwerp, Belgium in 1989.
She makes original collages on paper, with images from magazines, books and other imagery sources from 1920 up to the present.
She has always dedicated herself to analog collage, however, she has expanded her praxis to digital works, offering endless possibilities.
Within her analogue and digital work, she plays with proportions,
dialectic and context.
A conversation occurs between current events and ideals
- a social reality with an extra dimension of meaning or a layer of surrealism.
She rediscovers the past creating a vintage future.
The transformation of each individual image gives the viewer and his eye the opportunity to reinterpret elements or new readymade images.
Handcut collages (paper on paper) in various sizes, framed and unframed
To hold a memory, deep and far away but ever so near and lively within.
