The body speaks where words are silent.
With After Excision , Félix Lamalle delivers a work that is both powerful and modest—an inner cry that takes the form of a painted silence. The female figure, stylized but embodied, curls up on itself in a closed, almost cubic space. Her posture, folded and tense, speaks simultaneously of pain, dignity, and reconstruction.
The skin, shaded in brown, bears the memory of the act. The angular features and bright red lips contrast with the muted palette of the background, evoking a fragmented, wounded, yet resilient beauty. Touches of gold appear, like scars turned to light.
This painting is a tribute to survivors, an artistic testimony that denounces without illustrating, that sublimates without diverting.
After the excision summons empathy and awareness - it places the viewer in front of an intimate, universal reality, which is still too often silenced.
