ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with EGO’ Boutique Hotel, is pleased to announce the solo exhibition BARE CONSCIOUSNESS of neuro diverse and non-verbal modern abstract expressionist Cecile Lobert, in conjunction with ANIMA MUNDI ART FAIR 2022. It will take place from May 13 to June 03, 2022, in Venice at Palazzo Bembo, first floor, during the 59th Venice Biennale of Art.

Lobert’s work will feature ten paintings from her Bare Consciousness series, which provides a unique snapshot into her every day, existential experiences. The paintings document the silent and persistent dialogue between Lobert’s internal soul and the external stimuli of her physical and emotional environments resulting in a raw and unfiltered glimpse at consciousness laid bare. An outsider to societal imprints and to the ability to devise, strategize, or premeditate, her art arrives from a pure and unadulterated space of the absolute present, offering a window into a human consciousness physiologically free from what is considered normative. Challenging us to empathize with our own “bare consciousness” or inherent “true self,” untouched by individual history, social, educational, or cultural upbringing, Lobert highlights who we may truly be without the conditioning we continuously undergo.

Cecile Lobert was born in Brussels, Belgium on the 23rd of April 1992, Lobert addresses consciousness in its raw form. Her compositions establish a style perhaps best-known for its emancipation from traditional outlooks and references, offering deeply felt compositions from a rarefied place-traversing the chasm wrought by the void of language and social instruction. Where artists work at tearing down social preconceptions, Lobert knows nothing other than this existential space so sought-after and dissects reality as we see it, to offer a version of consciousness free from set norms, perceptions, and prejudices.

Daughter to Olga Rodovni, a Bolshoi opera vocal coach and to Belgian ambassador, legal scholar, theologian and philanthropist, Henry Lobert; she spent her youth in the United Arab Emirates, France, and Libya. Her first acrylic composition was a commission by her sister in 2014, who had observed over years Lobert’s disposition to drawing. Lobert has exhibited in Dubai, Barcelona, and Madrid.
