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.
EXHIBITIONS
SYNCHRONICITE
June 2024
La collaboration de ces trois artistes plasticiennes a débuté sur le partage de plans d’expériences. C’est l’histoire de diverses rencontres avec des événements synchronistiques. Ces rencontres ont été marquées par des matériaux industriels perdus dans une nature proche. Un paysage familier le long des bassins liégeois. Ces échanges contrastés entre une végétation qui s’infiltre et le souvenir d’une industrie si lourde ont porté de tels degrés de signifiance pour ces trois artistes que leurs oeuvres s’en trouvent imbibées. Elles viennent alors traduire ce concept de « synchronicité » issu de la psychologie analytique de Jung par un univers poétique qui débute, comme souvent chez ses patients, dans un rationalisme cartésien et progresse vers une compréhension plus humaine du monde. Ces émotions profondes seront présentées tout d’abord par des travaux personnels sur toiles, avec une discussion entre des visions géométriques qui traduisent la logique et des formes expressionnistes qui racontent l’homme et le végétal. Ensuite, par des installations qui viendront enliser ces deux pôles et explorer les effets de la perception visuelle en travaillant sur les notions de lumière, d’espace et de mouvement. Une manière de méditer sur des images et des symboles, abandonnés par le bon sens, mais qui trouvent un écho signifiant chez son créateur. Quelles traces ces objets laissent-ils derrière eux ? Que nous disent-ils sur notre fragilité ? Dans le cadre de cette exposition, ces artistes proposent un regard singulier sur un environnement bousculé par le temps et dont les composantes peuvent jouer comme des miroirs sur notre existence. Cette collaboration entre ces trois artistes liégeoises France Feltz, Vanessa Cao et Delphine Rama, occupera les locaux de la Galerie Centrale pour une expérience émotionnelle intitulée: SYNCHRONICITE .

The works are conceived in a spatio-temporal language that narrate and give form to what differentiates man from computers.
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.
