Nadine Debien
The World's Theatre
Throughout her work as an artist, from her early paintings to her complex and jarring later compositions, Nadine Debien has preserved an essential feature: the taste for provocation, laughter, and caricature. In having chosen to give life to the tragicomic characters that populate her work-- literally extracting them from out of the canvas-- the artist has also managed to simplify her thought and style, and furthermore, give her work the depth and impact that only the medium of sculpture could enable.
