About the Work
“Roman Bath brings together three female figures in a layered, fragmented composition that echoes the intimacy and spatial compression of ancient bathhouses. Each body is observed from a different vantage point: a pink-red figure in side profile with one leg folded, a second seen from behind in warm orange and yellow tones, and a frontal green-blue figure cropped from chest to thigh. The figures do not resolve into a single narrative space but instead coexist as overlapping states of presence, each shaped by color, angle, and partial visibility. Referencing the social and sensory atmosphere of Roman bathing culture, the work reframes the body as both observed and dissolving within shared space. In The DANCE: Between Polarity, it extends the dialogue between exposure and abstraction, unity and fragmentation, where figure and environment merge into a continuous field of shifting perception.”
Artist
Bailey and Christi Lalonde
View ProfileLALONDE & LALONDE are an international artist duo whose collaborative practice builds on extensive independent careers. Bailey Lalonde (b. 1993) is a Canadian-born, Costa Rica-raised multidisciplinary artist and curator. Her work spans painting, performance, and film, and has been exhibited across New York, London, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Malta, Düsseldorf, Costa Rica, and Miami Art Basel. She has curated over 40 exhibitions featuring more than 250 artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Christi Lalonde maintains an independent studio practice alongside the collaboration, informed by her background as a professional dancer and interior designer. LALONDE & LALONDE is the collaborative painting practice of Bailey and Christi Lalonde. Working on shared canvases, the mother–daughter duo produces figurative paintings through a sustained process of layering, interruption, and reworking. Their approach, both additive and reductive, dissolves singular authorship while maintaining a unified visual language. Situated within contemporary abstract figuration, their work balances gesture and restraint, allowing figures to emerge through materially driven surfaces rather than narrative construction. Rooted in dialogue, the practice operates as an ongoing negotiation of mark-making, where control and intuition remain in constant exchange. The resulting paintings emphasize presence, embodiment, and emotional immediacy. Developed as a focused body of work over the past two years, LALONDE & LALONDE has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections.
