POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Meet Fidji Lapios (b. 1990, Paris) who lives and works in London. She’ll be showing her works in our upcoming studio presentation in Hackney later this week.

Rooted in magical realism, Lapios’ work explores the timelessness of the landscapes we inhabit while investigating the relationship between a place, its memory and our perception of it. Through her work she questions the reality of these landscapes, proposing that places as we know them may be constructed by what we chose to remember. A world between presence and absence, at the edge between the real and the magical.

Whilst drawing upon the traditions of landscape painting, her process is undeniably of today, where she experiments with bright painting mixtures composed of emulsion paints, oils, water, soap, waxes, gessoes, and reflective surfaces. This process paired with luminescent washes and opalescent neon undertones situates the work within a distinctly contemporary visual language.

Small iridescent paintings on wood that have been made out of trial and error, working with different grounds and paints 🤍
They shimmer in the light and sometimes also in the dark.
