Mue en Pointes
by Ouma Bel H
Oil on canvas | 60 × 90 cm | 2024
Feline allure, lascivious posture, distant gaze: this hybrid figure — half-woman, half-animal — stands at the crossroads of two worlds. The body, clad in a white fur leotard, unfolds slowly across a crimson fabric, balanced between poised sensuality and subtle discomfort. The animal ears accentuate the strangeness of the face, while the ballet pointe shoes evoke a codified, almost theatrical staging of femininity. Mue en Pointes plays with a double language — that of suggested animality and learned grace. Between the skin and the pose, something is moulting. The creature seems as much to be performing as escaping the viewer's gaze, leaving a lingering doubt: is she in character, or in the midst of a silent transformation?
