ANTONIA LAMBELÉ Belgium, b. 1943
Overview
Minos, 2022
Born in 1943 in Great Britain, Belgian artist Antonia Lambelé is trained in sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels.
Antonia Lambelé is affiliated with concrete art. In 1991 she joined the artistic movement MADI. Strict and modern, Lambelé’s work is interested in matter, light and colour in a rigorous, square, controlled abstraction. Yet, through plexiglass, the voluptuousness of colour in motion is observed. Antonia Lambelé’s paintings are sculptures. Reliefs and light together produce a second level of reading: shadows. Revelation of the hollows, new figures that add and deal with geometry.
In 1985, she received the sculpture prize from the 9th Arts Seminar. In 1986 his first solo exhibition occurred at the Cultural Centre of Brussels in Nederover-Heembeeck. In 1987 she joined the Galerie Convergences (Paris), which opened the doors to collectors of concrete art. In 1991, she joined the Vierde Dimensie Gallery in Plasmolen (Netherlands). Today, his works can be found internationally, for example, at the Satoru Sato Museum in Japan. His work is also part of various collections such as that of the Arthoteca de Montpellier (France), Mondriaanhuis of Amersfoort (Netherlands) or the Museo MADI, Sobral (Brazil).
"I start with simple geometric shapes, squares, diamonds, rectangles... We continue to recognize these fundamental forms after all the transformations I have made them undergo... Until you get the elements that gravitate in the surrounding space."
