In the Bakery we present gouaches by Delphine Courtillot (1972 France). She does something extraordinary. She takes those photographs, which others might discard as failed - snapshots with cut off heads, photographs with bright, distorting reflections of the camera flash - and she draws them with a wonderful patience for detail. Courtillot draws everything these pictures show - blurred backgrounds, reflections of the photographer, overexposed parts.
Delphine Courtillot is interested in the narrative potential of the paintings. "As well as suggesting that something is happening outside of the "frame", they portray a state of absorption of the protagonists into their own world, as if they were drifting away in melancholy and obsession." Their frailty makes these gouaches haunting memories of moments gone by.
