London-based Rouy delves into invasive and psychological explorations of the body
With her penchant for the acrylic absurd, Elsa Rouy’s work depicts a raw exposure of femininity. The 24-year-old, through her practice, places emphasis on the individuality of the human experience, where the true “mystery is reflective of real suffering as we are never going to fully experience how another person feels,” says Rouy. “I want the paintings to be a space where the viewer can relate and find compassion. I want the viewer to question their reaction more than I want them to feel anything specific.”
