Laure Prouvost Creates Monumental Fresco at BRUSK, Bruges, Belgium

Laure Prouvost has created a monumental, four-part fresco for the Scala, the central staircase at BRUSK, a new art gallery in Bruges opening on 8 May.

The fresco, which titled ‘The Whispering Walls Rêve’, is tailormade and spans a total of 350m², taking visitors on a captivating journey through her playful artistic universe. Prouvost draws inspiration from themes such as emancipation, globalisation and ecology. She approaches these themes in a conceptual and poetic way, combining personal memories, artistic and literary references, and elements of fiction. Through language, she sparks the imagination, using humour to disrupt linear narratives and expected associations between words, images and meaning. Her artistic universe resonates with Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and the visual language of Dadaism.
