Husk Gallery presents the third solo show with Belgian painter Nathalie Pirotte. For a long time, the gaze of Nathalie Pirotte’s figures has remained concealed in her body of work. Their faces are obscured or disrupted by paint, masking, and hybrid imagery. This recurring gesture shifts attention away from the face and towards the body as a site of identity, seduction, and painterly construction. By obscuring the faces of her figures, the artist invites the viewer to look differently: towards the body, towards posture, towards what unfolds beyond facial expression. In Corpographies, that attention shifts to the hands. Hands remember, desire, protect, and tell stories. In her figurative paintings, a silent language of gestures and touch unfolds. Hands become new carriers of identity and expression — gestures through which desire, intimacy, strength, and vulnerability are articulated, extending Nathalie Pirotte’s ongoing exploration of the body as painterly language.
