Delphine Rama's work can be associated with the artistic movement of geometric abstraction. The painted surfaces, largely open, are combined with a formal language in which the architectural dimension are essential. In her latest artworks, she explores the concept of dissonance in human behaviour. Her series of artwork attempts to represent the vibrational movements of the body when it is exposed to high frequencies or the complete absence of sound. The paintings visually translate physical and mental symptoms that become identical in these two extreme frequency levels.
Delphine Rama was born in Liege, Belgium in 1988. Her work has been exhibited internationally.

Banding together to debut new works and narratives, seven multi-hyphenate artists - Kiat, KRINGE, Didier ‘Jaba’ Mathieu, triumvirate Metamo Industries and Delphine Rama, emerge with new perspectives on the way they create and think about their very own artmaking, paving the way for new transformational paths for their multivarious practices that span several disciplines.

SALON DES INFLUENCEURS
May 2021
Gathering contemporary artists from Europe and Southeast Asia, this exhibition examines the enduring legacy of Modern Art on artists and their practice today. Under the overhanging influence of former masters who, like father figures, can be both instructive and overbearing, how do artists today assert their individuality while remaining rooted in the heritage of the art world?
THE CALL FOR THE SEA
January 2021
When we are unsure of what’s happening to the world around us, we look towards other sources for some sort of confirmation. Be it through the daily news reporting or simply using social media to be updated of events, we are bombarded with information from everywhere and oftentimes we do not have the time or even energy to process these surging emotions that spawn out from this newfound knowledge. Art then becomes pivotal in helping us to comprehend these difficult times. In a series of artwork curated by Marina Oechsner de Coninck, 12 female artists are invited to share their experimental stories during the Circuit Breaker earlier this year. From paints to sculptures, The Call Of The Sea is an initiatory exploration into the creative process of these artists as they use multidisciplinary practices to actualise these contemplative and raw art pieces.
Below is an exclusive interview with the exhibition’s curator, Marina Oechsner de Coninck on The Call Of The Sea.
