Alice De Mont - Artist

Through videos and installations, Alice De Mont (Ghent, 1985) explores the creation of characters as containers of human complexity. In her first film Subject One, Miroslav Novak (2010), a roughly sketched character explores who he is as a character and how he relates to the reality of the scenography in which he moves. Later she creates for herself the alter ego Subject 23, an artist working on the theme of the impossibility to grasp or understand our environment.

This alter ego is also presented as the author of this expo, a series of paintings (Paintings for Sculptures) which were displayed in CIAP's Grand Council Chamber.

Alice De Mont studied at HISK Ghent and Sint Lukas Brussels. Her first expo was PrÉvues/preview D'une Exposition D'ÉtÉ (Brussels 2010). Since then, she has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium (Musée d'art de la Province de Hainaut, AIR Antwerpen, Enough Room for Space Drogenbos), France (Galerie Dohyang Lee, Paris), Switzerland (Cecilia Jaime Gallery, Geneva) and Toronto (BPS22 & Justina M Barnicke Gallery).
