Lysistrata, 60 x 80 cm, 2024

Lysistrata is the title of a comedy by Aristophanes, which he presented in 411 BC. BC, but also the name worn by its main heroine. It tells the story of this Athenian woman, who, tired of enduring war for a long time, convinces other women in the city but also in the surrounding regions to go on a sex strike. Entrenched on the Acropolis of Athens, the women hold on thanks to the tenacity of Lysistrata, and the men end up making peace.

In my painting, Lysistrata, "she who unties the armies", is naked, slumped in her armchair which serves as a double seat: she both takes the place of the archons, the political leaders of the time, but also occupies the 'Acropolis, the core of the polis, political place par excellence. On his penis, I put a STOP card from the game 1000 Terminals to emphasize that the door is closed until peace has returned to the city.

Support: repainted canvas (repentance)
Paper: Bilingual edition of Lysistrata, 1000 Bornes, both found second-hand

Born in 1988 in Oise, Annabelle has been painting canvases and writing books since childhood. In the family, no one practices an artistic, musical or sporting activity. What matters in this environment is above all university studies to have, at the end, a "real" job.

So Annabelle obeys and climbs the ladder: degree in art history and archeology in Amiens, Master in Sciences of Antiquity in Lille, then, finally, the last stage: a doctorate in Greek archeology which she obtains in 2017. However, during her research, she did not stop painting and even exhibiting whenever she had the opportunity. At the end of her thesis defence, she informed her jury: no, she would not embark on research but would attempt an artistic career.

The difficult issue of identity, duality and inner conflict is at the heart of Annabelle's thinking. Whether it is the injunction made to women (on their physique, their activities or their social status) or the personal evolution in our society (where the norm is still the only model and where the difference is stifled), the question is then the same: how to make our deep convictions coincide with the world around us? How can we assert our identity without feeling judged? Can we remain ourselves, flourish, knowing that we are constantly influenced by society, the eyes of others, social networks, money or even success?

Eco-feminist and anti-conformist, Annabelle draws from her personal history these two-speed anxieties, torn between her deep convictions and the current norm. She then analyzes her own life course and delivers an almost autobiographical gallery on the canvas: if none of the characters really resemble her, they nevertheless evoke all her concerns, her conflicts, the people she has met as well as different moments of her life. life.
