Figuratio
The exhibition 'Figuratio' at Irène Laub gallery in Brussels features works by Charles Laib Bitton. The artist's approach focuses on the essential, exploring the significance of gesture and the present moment to counter societal illusions and the omnipresence of the virtual. Bitton's paintings aim to evoke a sense of the urgency of the senses and emotions through powerfully embodied figures in tranquil and benevolent physical realities.
The works are characterized by a restrained palette, often reminiscent of Italian Renaissance painting, and a focus on everyday life. Figures, including humans, animals, plants, and objects, are depicted with equal attention, observed with patience and openness. This sensibility rejects grandstanding, favoring a gradual adjustment of the gaze and a relationship with the subject that requires duration. The figures appear as intermediary presences, emerging from observation, memory, and invention, with a slightly veiled gaze that suggests ambiguity and incompleteness.
