This artwork features a pair of abstracted human figures composed of rusted, metal forms against a stark white background. The figures are created using curved, irregular shapes and lines, giving them a gestural, almost skeletal appearance. The predominant colors are shades of brown and black, with hints of green and blue suggesting weathering and oxidation of the metal. The overall composition is balanced and symmetrical, highlighting the simplified, expressive nature of the figures. This piece appears to be a minimalist, abstract sculpture that explores the human form through the use of found, industrial materials, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between the organic and the inorganic. ...
Taking inspiration from both Figurative and Modernist Sculpture, Charlotte Dualé creates beguiling ceramic pieces which are all at once familiar and indistinguishable. Adopting a collage-like approach to sculpture, Dualé brings varying materials such as latex, porcelain and metal together with her ceramic forms, applying glazes and highly pigmented paints to bind these elements. Concerned with the unpredictability of memory and language, recognisable forms are warped and reborn by Dualé, mimicking hazily recollected moments or sentences misshaped by translation. Feminist Art is also a key influence on Dualé's practice, clearly seen in her Impuzzibil (Impossible) series, where the female form is fragmented and scattered throughout the collection. The poetic titles of Dualé’s sculptures are also an integral aspect of her practice. These appellations add further lyrical quality to each series, and when displayed together, these labels draw in the ephemeral threads of spirituality, sensuality and memoir, which orbit Dualé’s practice. ...

The exhibition program will be interspersed with punctual “Interludes”, archive exhibitions and retrospectives, aiming to put into perspective the transdisciplinary character of creation. ...
