Born in Denmark (Aarhus) in 1969 and currently living in Chicago, Lise Haller Baggesen is an interdisciplinary artist renowned for her practice, which merges writing, installation, and performance with textile and clothing materials.
In her second solo exhibition in France, ChromAmour: A Metamorphosis, presented at Le Bicolore, Lise Haller Baggesen explores the transformative power of color. Curated by Kathy Alliou, the exhibition invites visitors to rediscover a lost beauty in a damaged world and to imagine new shared futures through the lens of color.
ChromAmour marks a shift from collective chromophobia to a celebration of color as a tool for transformation. Baggesen encourages us to change our perception of the world, to see “things as they could be” rather than merely accepting them as they are. The exhibition, curated by Kathy Alliou, invites the public to reconsider our collective relationship with color and beauty in an ever-changing world.
Lise Haller Baggesen shares the reflections and inspirations that have shaped her work, as well as the meaning behind the title ChromAmour. She examines the connection between motherhood and creativity and revisits how the 2020 pandemic led her into a period of introspection in her Chicago studio. Together with her teenage daughter, she began experimenting with second-hand clothing and textiles. This collaboration gave rise to a series of fabric paintings that explore the transformative power of color and its ability to shape new, shared futures.
