Linda Lenssen is the laureate of our call to artist held at the end of last year. L'Artocarpe is taking the opportunity to thank all participants who have sent over their portfolio. Taking the time in applying to our space for a residence, is a sign of the interest to come to Guadeloupe and share with artists from the island on various things: ideas, art techniques among others.

« My work deals with the duality between the visible and the imaginable, between concrete and conceivable. There is a gap between the physical limitations of man and his imagination. Humans are able to envision things that are not accessible by the possibilities of the mind. In my work I want to reach these inaccessible items. Performing these impossible acts, visualizes the paradox between presence and absence. The physical circumstances of the specific natural environment of Guadeloupe fits seamlessly within my artistic discourse in which I explore recurring parameters – minimality, islands and horizons – in both a metaphorical and literal way. This duality is already incorporated within my artistic discourse and the presence of this duality within the specific conditions of Guadeloupe will strengthen this capacity. »

As the recipient of the bursary allocated to our resident by the French Ministry of Culture (Direction des Affaires culturelles), Linda will engage in several activities with school, artist members and the general public.

We very much welcome all type of exchanges that will no doubt bring a real dynamic to our platform.
