Lili Dujourie

Lili Dujourie (born 1941 in Roeselare, Belgium) is a Flemish visual artist who works primarily in sculptures, paintings, and video. She has had numerous solo and group exhibitions since 1968 and continues to make art today.

Career The media in which Dujourie works include clay, collage paper, iron, lead, marble, photo, plaster, velvet and video. She personifies the sexuality within her materials, displaying the performative dimension of the artwork. She focuses on what her work is doing externally, rather than simplifying it, giving the ornamental elements of her work a central role. Her subjects center around time, the change between the figurative and the abstract, the sensation of gloominess and searching for an emotional aspect of space. Her work in painting and sculpture influenced the composition and conceptual framework of the videos she produced. Working with her body, recording herself mostly in the nude, she made feminist statements on the representation of women.
