Works by Naomi Gilon
Naomi Gilon , born in Arlon in 1996, lives and works in Brussels.
Focused on the idea of transformation of the body as a tool for the construction of social identity and on the experimental use of ceramics as a material that is both fragile and sensual, Naomi Gilon's research is in constant dialogue with the forms of popular culture, from the traditional ones of classical mythology to the most contemporary expressions of youth subcultures.
The reference imagery is linked to the human-animal hybridization typical of fantastic fiction, from speculative literature to horror cinema. In particular, the shapes of the hands or feet are typical of Naomi Gilon, which are transformed into paws with claws, an expression of animal aggression that is symbolically reintegrated.
Among the main exhibitions he has exhibited at: Galerie Fleur & Wouter (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Cdlt + Gallery (Liége, Belgium), Kunsthal Gent (Gent, Belgium), Superchief Gallery (New York, USA), Les Galeries Louise (Brussels, Belgium) , Subsidiary Projects (London, United Kingdom), Kingsgate Project Space (London, United Kingdom), Alice Gallery (Brussels, Belgium), Normaal Gallery (Brussels, Belgium), Diesel Project Space (Gent, Belgium), BAM (Mons, Belgium ), Like A Little Disaster (Polignano a Mare, Italy), Pavillon Baltard (Paris, France), Les Halles Saint Géry (Brussels, Belgium).
