Known for his carefully constructed paintings that move effortlessly between abstraction and figuration, the imagined and the real, this new body of work sees de Balincourt moving away from direct references to current social, political or popular culture, and instead depicting a world in which
indications of specific place or time are absent.
The book is set in Italy but doesn't give a
specific place, so they wanted me to read it and give them an
indication of where I thought it was set.
