VIVIANE BRICKMANNE (Belgium, 1957)."Sappho", 2012.Patinated bronze. Exemplary 3/7.With founder's stamp.Signed and numbered on the lower right.Measurements: 44 x 12 x 22 cm.The author rescues from oblivion the classical writer Sappho, who appears with an enigmatic smile and blindfolded eyes, looking inwards, oblivious to the worldly noise. A Greek poetess of the 4th century BC, Sappho remains a prototype of the modern woman, cultured, independent and free, admired in her time for her beauty and intelligence. She expresses her femininity in verses that speak of amorous passion with sensitivity and delicacy. She loved men and even more women, giving rise to the term safist lesbianism, due to her relationship with her disciples whom she taught on the island of Lesbos.Brickmanne began her exhibition career in 2003, participating in various group exhibitions. Since then he has participated in several national and international exhibitions, both as a group and solo artist, including group exhibitions at AAF New York in 2013, Art Santa Fe, Gaudi Gallery in South Korea, AAF Hamburg in 2014, Feriarte in 2017, SumArte at the Ateneo de Madrid in 2018 and Studio Lisboa in Portugal in 2018, among others.
