Kevina Labonne: SIMULACRUM

Simulacrum features around 25 paintings by the artist Kevina Labonne. Labonne uses the concept of the body and the power of visual metaphor to challenge the borders of representation. She has taken the motif of the doll to explore possible narratives that are produced by this life-like object under its numerous forms and re-interpretations in her paintings. Away from the world of play, the doll becomes a surrogate of jeopardy for the real body and reveals a sinister and uncanny existence.
