Stephanie Lamoline (1976, Antwerp, BE) is a visual artist based in Brussels, Belgium.
Balancing between three-dimensional work and the flat image, she deconstructs recognizable imagery into slightly distorted representations. One of the guidelines in her creative process is the distinctly plastic treatment of the photographic medium, whereby she tries to explore the line between sculpture and photography. By constantly repeating and reworking her images, by deconstructing and rebuilding them, Lamoline gives herself the freedom of an endless work in progress. This fluid continuum accumulates different ways of seeing, the work keeps on growing and evolving, all in a most playful and lighthearted way.
Lamoline has previously exhibited her works at Emergent (BE), De Warande (BE), Netwerk Aalst (BE), Z33 (BE), Benaki Museum (GR) Photobookweek Aarhus (DK), Photovisa Biennal Krasnodar (RU)
Her book Quatre Mains / Zonder Handen has been selected for various international book awards and has been exhibited worldwide.
She obtained a degree in interior design (1998, Sint Lukas Brussels), received her bachelor’s in jewelry design (2008, Sint Lucas, Antwerp) and recently finished a course in photography at the Academy of Visual Arts, Anderlecht.
After 10 years of focussing on the upbringing of her kids, she was ready to start her own artistic practise. She’s a member of Level Five Artistic Ecology in Brussels.
