original sketch for the cover of the charcoal drawings of “Dokalucht”:

Dikwijls worden de werken van Voebe de Gruyter begeleid met een tekst. Hier reproduceert zij een dialoog:
“Je moet nog een titel vinden voor het boekje!”
“Ja, maar het moet niet te literair zijn door het bijvoorbeeld naar een van de stukjes te noemen.”
Ik vond het vreselijk moeilijk. Drie dagen later kreeg ik plots een idee. Ik kwam op een vroege avond buiten en rook een sterke, zurige lucht om me heen. Waarschijnlijk een mengsel van uitlaatgassen van auto’s en vrachtwagens en andere stadsapparaten. Vrijwel onmiddellijk wist ik de titel: beelden uit een stad die aan het ontwikkelen zijn, waarvan sommigen al beeld zijn geworden en vorm hebben gekregen in stukjes.

Louise Bourgeois made sculptures in wood, steel, stone and cast rubber and used drawing and printing as a tool of artistic expression, often organic in form and sexually explicit, emotionally aggressive yet witty, covered many stylistic bases. But from first to last they shared a set of repeated themes centered on the human body and its need for nurture and protection in a frightening world;  protection often translated into images of shelter or home.

A recurrent contamination of the masculine world and the feminine, of fashion and art or advertising is seen in the works of Sylvie Fleury. In the early nineties she showed in her first exhibition with John M Armleder and Olivier Mosset a pile of empty Coco Chanel boxes intuitively collected by her for years, because of its attractiveness as she once said. Her installations with shopping bags triggered people to call her the ‘Bag Lady’ at a certain point. Nowadays her work is described as political, but definitively her oeuvre does not lack a post-conceptual attitude at all. With the multiple ‘Slim-Fast’ she shows that the idea is very close to how the artist originally was attracted by the Coco Chanel mascara and perfume boxes, only now more rationally made with a tongue-in-cheek to Pop-art.
