Elissa Lacoste’s feelings will be brought to bare by her instinctive works. Elissa is a former resident of alfa.brussels (a studio residence also initiated by Boris Devis, to encourage the practice of a functional art). Here, the unconventional and vibrant texture of her sculptural works lies between the real and the surreal while retaining a hint of functionality. Silicone and polystyrene embrace and become inexplicable forms and sensory support, questioning our relationship to our physical environment and the limits of the contemporary world.

About
Visual Atelier 8
"Elissa Lacoste Engages With The Impact Of The Anthropocene
Evocative fleshy consistency, indefinable colors, and gnarly textures devise an alternative realm that provokes cognitive dissonance. Her work brings a realm where the presumed functions of the pieces seem to be undomesticated, morphing different affordances into one element. Alien earthlings form an inverted troglodyte interior relating to a primal identity of the visitor, who curiously and sensuously uncovers the whimsical environment."
