With A Lifetime Waiting for Summer to Happen, suns.works is happy to present Elise Corpataux’s first solo show at the gallery. The exhibition brings together new and recent works by the artist, staging a scenery of fever-dreams, racing hearts, and deep plunges. Navigating through layers of memory and fragments of desire, Corpataux plays on different keys of nostalgia. Like a pop song or a sunset, her paintings are suspended between the iconic and the prosaic. They become a space for projection of a personal mystique that never quite succeeds to conceal its own conditioning.
