The artwork features an abstract, organic composition dominated by warm, vibrant shades of pink and red. The irregular, flowing shapes create a sense of fluidity and movement, resembling a biological structure or cellular formation. Distinct textural elements, such as the black protrusion and the punctuated areas, add depth and visual interest to the piece. The overall style and technique suggest a surreal, biomorphic approach, potentially evoking themes of internal processes or the natural world. The artistic intention may be to explore the complexity and interconnectedness of natural forms or to elicit an emotional response through the use of color and abstraction. ...
Carole Mousset focuses on the interiority of the human body, emphasizing themes of intimacy, fluidity, and transformation.

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). ...
