Ingrid Deuss Gallery presents from November 20 to January 9 "Here be
lions", the new solo exhibition of Spanish-born and Antwerp based artist
Isabel Miquel Arques.
In this photo exhibition, which includes 12 works of art, Miquel Arques
works with the concept of longing and the many forms it might take. Toon
Tellegen’s book, “Letters to Sleeping Beauty”, has greatly inspired this
exhibition.
The book describes the story of the prince deciding that the
time has come to find Sleeping Beauty and kiss her. He doesn’t know where
she is to be found, what this voyage shall bring or what to expect from his
journey as a whole. During the course of his one-year travel, he writes her
letters everyday.
Isabel Miquel Arques, who is mostly a self-taught artist, has been
experimenting with all kinds of photography, from classical to pinhole
cameras. Growing up in a very rich cultural environment, but with a spartan
way of living, shaped her way of seeing life and applying photography. This
sobriety leads to a working ethos with the strictly basic camera and
natural light.
Living

Miquel
Arques
has
been
fascinated
by
the
relationship
in
history
between
her
country

Spain,
and

The
result
of
her
studies
and

cogitations
on
the
