The Crystal Ship 2023: Mural by Joëlle Dubois
Joëlle Dubois’ career has taken off to such an extent that it’s a minor miracle she took the time to train with street artist Han Coussement for The Crystal Ship. For Dubois, who makes colourful observations of a society obsessed with social media, sexuality and body negativity, has no background as a street artist herself. But her work, as witty as it is confrontational, begs for an ever-larger canvas. And what makes this portrait of a Vogue dancer even more special is that it was once stolen as a canvas from an exhibition. This time around, it ‘hangs’ nice and safe.
