LES AMIS INVISIBLES / THE INVISIBLE FRIENDS
2021 / Galerie En Art Point de Frontière / VENTABREN, FRANCE
Les Amis Invisibles presents the work of Cape Town-based siblings, artist, Alexandra Ross and photographer, David Ross. The two bodies of work, exhibited as pairs, were created independently and yet the resonance between the pairs of ‘friends’, reveals two creative lives lived parallel with shared interests and similar vision. The bold, fresh eroticism of Alexandra’s ink on paper nudes is counterbalanced by the brooding sensuality and tactile intimacy of David’s Monuments and Memorials photographic studies. Side by side, they find new meanings in the unfolding narratives they suggest. Together, they evoke a realm beyond the physical, behind the visible world.
