Alexandra Duprez’s painting unfolds as an intimate and shifting atlas, where images emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure. Working within a restrained palette, Prussian blue, deep blacks, and recurring motifs, she constructs unstable visual fields that resist fixed interpretation. The gaze is never held in place; it wanders, returns, and drifts through fragments that seem at once familiar and elusive.

Rather than depicting or narrating, Duprez develops what she describes as “fragments of images”: forms that are repeated, altered, and displaced until they lose any clear origin. Figures, presences, and signs coexist on a single plane, where the visible and the invisible are inseparable. Her work does not build stories, but fields of tension, spaces where images persist without resolving.

At the core of the exhibition are works developed during a 2025 residency at Dou Print Studio in Ankara, where Duprez produced a series of lithographic ink drawings shaped by the rhythms and exchanges of the workshop. The exhibition also introduces, for the first time in her practice, a group of textile works, where ink meets fabric, opening a new material dimension within her oeuvre.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition, the book Ce que les yeux dispersent, edited by Sébastien Desplat and released by Éditions OK Des, brings together the full body of works alongside new writings by the artist on her process.

Born in 1974 in Quimper, Alexandra Duprez lives and works in Douarnenez. Since the 1990s, she has developed an international practice, exhibiting across Europe, the United States, and Asia. She has been co-director of Galerie Plein-Jour in Douarnenez since 2015.
