This arresting artwork showcases a striking contrast of colors and shapes. The predominant palette consists of muted tones of gray, black, and white, creating a somber and introspective mood. The central figure, a woman in a flowing dress, is depicted in a stylized, almost cubist manner, with sharp geometric angles and distorted proportions. The composition is further enriched by the inclusion of symbolic elements, such as a framed portrait, a glass container, and a pair of shoes, which add depth and narrative to the piece. The artist's distinctive technique, which combines surrealist and expressionist influences, suggests a poignant commentary on the human condition and the complex interplay between the internal and external worlds.

Ballon Rouge began as a nomadic gallery in September of 2017. In our first two years we put up exhibitions in Istanbul, London, Los Angeles, Brussels, Sao Paulo, Paris, and New York. Each of the cities we visited was stewarded by a ‘collective member’ - a curator who introduced us to artists and to their respective city’s art scene. In March of 2019 we made Brussels our home city, inaugurating our permanent space. While we will continue to do shows abroad alongside our collective members, our primary location is now Brussels. Besides our own exhibitions, the space in Brussels sometimes hosts invited international galleries to show with us in exchange for a show of ours at theirs - a further continuation of our ethos of collaboration and collectivity. So far we have collaborated or will soon collaborate with Hannah Barry Gallery (London); Melange (Cologne); Galerist (Istanbul); Gallery Artbeat, (Tbilisi); the Pill (Istanbul); Pi Artworks (Istanbul, London); Vitrine (London, Basel). ...
