About The Artwork
60 x 80 cm - paper and acrylic on canvas - 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 her sex, 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

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 do we make our deep convictions coincide with the world around us? How to assert our identity without feeling judged? Can we remain ourselves, flourish, knowing that we are constantly influenced by society, the gaze of others, social networks, money or even success? Annabelle rips, cuts and glues book pages and playing cards on the canvas, which she then covers with acrylic paint. The organic skin of the women that she portrays thus gives way to images and colors that make it possible to transcribe what they feel and who they are.
