In 1977 in Marseille, a young printer named Karl stumbled upon a collection of poems by Baudelaire—Le Fleur du Mal. It hit him hard. When he became an artist years later—taking up sculpting in 2006, and then drawing in 2007—he signed his work Karl Beaudelere. Each work returned to the themes that captivated him in Baudelaire’s book: decadence, eroticism, human suffering. In 2011, Beaudelere started work on self-portraits done in ballpoint pen, haunting faces created with myriad black lines. This exhibition presents the doppelgänger’s drawings. —Elena Clavarino
