As in almost all of her work, the artist here creates a hybrid of painting and sculpture. The Flemish Primitives of the fifteenth century and the baroque painters of the seventeenth are important sources of inspiration, which is reflected in, among other things, the considerable amount of staging that goes into each of the works. The round shapes of the velvet and the wood are at odds with the strict geometric construction of the black triangle. The confrontation between the hard and soft materials, and the concealing yet simultaneously revealing character of the red velvet give the work a romantic tension reminiscent of that between Eros and Thanatos.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nText: Hans Willemse\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nTranslations: Michael Meert\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHaar installatie \u003cem\u003eThe Kiss\u003c/em\u003e uit 1986 \u0026ndash; met rode drapering en een opvallende kom, gevuld met een gifblauwe vloeistof \u0026ndash; is een conceptuele reconstructie van een klassiek stilleven. Net zoals in bijna al haar werk, maakt de kunstenares hier een hybride van schilderkunst en beeldhouwkunst. De Vlaamse Primitieven van de vijftiende eeuw en de barokschilders uit de zeventiende zijn een belangrijke inspiratiebron hiervoor, wat zich onder meer uit in de belangrijke mate aan enscenering die de werken in zich hebben. De ronde vormen van het fluweel en het hout staan haaks op de strenge geometrische constructie van de zwarte driehoek. De confrontatie tussen de harde en de zachte materialen, en het verhullende en tegelijk onthullende karakter van het rode fluweel geven het werk een romantische geladenheid die in de spanning tussen Eros en Thanatos oproept.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nTekst: Hans Willemse\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Kiss\u003c/em\u003e de 1986 \u0026ndash; un drap\u0026eacute; rouge autour d\u0026rsquo;une coupe remplie d\u0026rsquo;un liquide bleu \u0026ndash; est une reconstitution conceptuelle d\u0026rsquo;une nature morte classique. \u0026Agrave; l\u0026rsquo;instar de l\u0026rsquo;ensemble de son \u0026oelig;uvre ou presque, Dujourie pratique ici une hybridation de la peinture et de la sculpture.
