Over the past week, a fog of grey has been hovering over art media websites, revealing a series of achromatic paintings. Lala Drona’s latest work, what some journalists are calling “Glamour Macabre” was leaked, and has taken the internet by storm.
Before her departure to Beijing, China, Lala Drona put on a private exhibition with selected guests from the art world. The exhibition was by appointment at the art factory Le Lavoir, and despite prohibiting the use of smart phones and cameras, photos of her work were leaked.
The photos were leaked without description, therefore the titles and sizes of the pieces still remain unknown. One thing that is apparent is that Ms. Drona has decided to dive into shades of grey. We first saw this choice of color in her triptych Je suis la fin qui justifie les moyens (I am the end that justifies the means) back in 2015 during the collective exhibition Je suis… Color psychology theorises that grey is “being neither black nor white, it is the transition between two non-colors.” Perhaps the color gray represents a transition in her work.
There may be negative consequences to the leak as many of the pieces were meant to be kept secret before her next public exhibition. Now, Lala Drona may have got herself into hot water with her Chinese investors.
