The work of Léandra Volpe (@leandra_volpe) explores the tension between personal inclinations, individual instincts, and ethical constraints. Drawing on a theoretical foundation, wildlife photography, and literary works, the artist borrows the formal languages of fashion, surrealism, and art brut to deconstruct the mechanisms of power dynamics.
The wide variety of media and techniques she uses (ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, embroidery, writing, feather art, assemblage, postcards, etc.) is on par with the themes explored in her work: dialogue, architecture, spiritual institutions, and science fiction.
Rooted in a traditional, artisanal approach to art, she pays particular attention to meticulous, repetitive gestures and lengthy manual processes. Her practice also evolves through collaborations that enrich her approach.
