About The Artwork

These « All Hysterical » pieces borrow a Paul Richer drawing « Arc de Cercle », dating back to 1887 and originally published in a book the artist-neurologist co-wrote with Charcot, « Les Démoniaques dans l’Art ». Charcot studied hysteria at the Pitié Salpetriere hospital in Paris where through dramatic public demonstrations involving hypnosis, he displayed « hysterical women » as fabricated performances, surrounding himself with artists and writers to document his research. The black and white medical drawing portrays the body of a helpless and distressed woman. I wanted to subvert its original meaning and purpose in order to transform the otherwise passive body into an active one, handing the power back to the women in question.

Delphine Lebourgeois studied Fine Art in Lyon then went on to complete a Masters in Illustration at Central St Martins in 2005 She works in various medium including digital, collage, pencil, pen, ink, watercolour and screenprint but her working process always starts with an initial collage of found elements. Her most recent work draws from various stylistic sources (ranging from Botticelli to comics) mixing symbols and cultural references in a playful and sometimes irreverent way In 2014, Lebourgeois created a whole series of original drawings on the power of crowds “The Girl has a Gun” that was launched at the Other Art Fair in October 2014. The works explored the realm of power relations and female emancipation. Lebourgeois’ latest series are her most feminist to date, as her armies of women have progressively taken on a deeper meaning. Her 2019 Pink Collection explores both erotica, the power to assert one’s sexuality, and Mania, a look back on female repression. Lebourgeois has also collaborated with The New Yorker, The Guardian, Le Monde, L’Obs, Amnesty International, Soho House and The Other Art Fair, where she continues to exhibit her work yearly. In 2019, several of her works were featured as street art in the latest edition of Need For Speed Heat, produced by EA Games. She is exhibited around the world, including in the UK, Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.
