Emmanuel Louisnord Desir makes painting, assemblage, and sculpture that sings a strange song of ancient times and modern life, mysticism, empire, religions of the book, global diaspora and allegorical testimony. Within this ambitious framework, Desir’s stylistic approach is omnivorous in its influences and yields an edgy, folk-infused surrealism. His contorted arks, sweeping scenic histories, individual creatures of human, animal, and otherwise unknown origin all combine and consort, arraying themselves inside symbol-rich political and personal parables—as inscrutable and poetic as biblical verses, but also just as clear in their intention to impart a higher message. With his large-scale painting, The Fall of Babylon, Desir contributes a perspective of faith to the biennial’s focus on everyday life as inspiration.Emmanuel Louisnord Desir, The Fall of Babylon, 2023, Oil on wood, 48 × 68 in (Private Collection.
