Ripening at the moment



created by Francoise Nielly

Look at these absolutely fantastic knife paintings by Francoise Nielly. Yes I said knife. At first I am drawn to the vibrant colors. She does a great job by not allowing every color to have a voice. There's enough subtle colors to allow certain colors to scream with attention. If you break down every color up close you'll see how they are not politely blended into others. Instead each color is slabbed onto the canvases that from a greater distance create a powerful face. I love that shit. Altogether these breathtaking fierce images caught my attention, and I thought they deserved to be admired.
