Description:
Arpaïs Du Bois’ book, FEUE LA JOYEUSETÉ, further opens the door to her intense universe. The publication, beautifully published by Hopper and Fuchs and designed by un’dercast, bundles the essence of her output on paper of the last four years. Extensively introduced by Damien Sausset and including a letter by Philippe Van Cauteren, this book is the ultimate successor of her previous publications - all of them specific gems, both for their concept as for their design. FEUE LA JOYEUSETÉ takes you on a road trip inside the artist’s brain and makes you a spectator, a witness instead of a passer-by. With more than 450 works on paper, it is opulently illustrated.
Hardback
In a soft voice, almost a whisper in the noise of the world. A soft voice that tells of time standing still, of wanderings of the soul, of trials of the heart. And about the impending thunder or the breeze that makes the canopy sway. A soft voice in which the suspicion of death roars as fiercely as the vibrant hopes of everyday life. Anyone willing to listen to it will hear all this in the sentences of Arpaïs Du Bois. For this 'secret' artist writes words, loose thoughts or snippets of text on sheets of paper that still shiver from the colours they have drawn. No beautiful poems or heroic stories here. The power of these words lies in something quite different.
