Artworks

Asia Gelin (°1998, FR) holds a master's degree in painting from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, and currently lives and works in Belgium.

Both procedural and intuitive, her work is built in accordance with the act of creation and the passage of time. Her systematic and repetitive gestures seek to present painting in its most fundamental sense—as a pictorial material.

Interwoven with successive layers of varnish are various components, ranging from pigments to makeup, spices, beeswax, rabbit-skin glue, and even coffee, to name a few. The subtle combination of these ingredients remains open-ended, and it is through the creative process itself that a visual exploration beyond the predictable takes shape.
