The Procession 60 x 90cm, Mixed Media
These were painted for an exposition here in Montigny... The theme was fairytales...but with a twist.
They
are based on the fairytale "The Emperor's new clothes", except in my
story 'he' is a 'she'.She is intelligent & narcissistic. She has an
idea to show off her body to her subjects. She hires some friends to
pose as dressmakers & they pretend to make a wonderful, esquiste
dress for her. The three canvases show the idea, the dress rehersal and
the final procesion. The poses come from life drawing and sketches made
at the Louvre.
"The Idea", 38 x 46cm, Arcylic on canvas.
"The Dress Rehersal" (back of woman), 60 x 60cm, Acrylic & collage on canvas.
"The Procession" 60 x 90cm, Acrylic & collage on canvas.
