Tiffanie Delune’s practice fuses the artist’s personal history with her extraordinary sensibility for design. Shape, colour and their rendering in graphic configurations inspired by Matisse cutouts and African textiles collide with the sharp lines of mid-century and art
nouveau European architecture of which her forbears were leading lights. Delune’s triple heritages, Belgian, Congolese and French, are recurring threads — explored individually and in concert, made manifest via fearlessly personal expressions echoed in the artist’s
own life. Themes of family, identity, womanhood and sexuality suffuse Delune’s vibrant paintings, and materials employed range from acrylic to pastel; shells to stockings; pencils, to pearls. Recent solo shows include Metamorphosis, Someth1ng Gallery, London (2019), and
Coloriosity, 16/16, Lagos (2018). Other highlights include work featured in Portraits of Animals at H Factor, and an artist’s residency at 16/16, both in Lagos (2018).
