Sabrina Dufrasne exhibition at Kewenig explores human-animal relationships through Etruscan-inspired paintings

Belgian painter Sabrina Dufrasne is presenting a new exhibition titled 'Un monde à part' at Kewenig gallery. The artist, born in 1976 in Braine-L'alleud, creates works that examine the changing connection between humans and animals throughout history. Dufrasne's paintings reference visual elements from ancient Etruscan tomb frescoes, employing bold color fields and decorative borders. Her artistic approach responds to philosophical ideas about animal commodification in modern society, particularly engaging with concepts from John Berger's essay 'Why Look at Animals?'. The exhibition creates an artistic environment that centers animal perspectives rather than human economic interests. Dufrasne's work addresses how contemporary economic systems have transformed animals from living beings into commercial products and entertainment objects. The show represents a visual exploration of historical relationships between species and current conditions of animal existence within industrialized frameworks.
