"The Work" by Françoise Nielly
ARTIST FRIENDS I would like to introduce you to, one being:
Françoise Nielly
"Exhibiting in St. Tropez, Paris, Montreal and Vancouver, Nielly’s approach carries with it the cross currents of a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Her subjects themselves–male and female–are as ethnically colorful as her palette (one cannot but suspect her zeal for radiant ultramarine and sumptuous alizarin was fostered by her Riviera upbringing). As if to further emphasize this savoir-faire internationalism, her individual paintings–which are otherwise catalogued in the formal tradition of "Untitled" serials–each carry with them the name of the country (France, Canada, Dubai, Germany) in which they now live in private collections. Her most recent work has evolved beyond the studio setting, incorporating loose fragments of contemporary visual culture and imaginatively synthesizing her fine and decorative arts training."

Kathysart Note: Don't you just LOVE it? Oh my gosh, what a fantastic use of color Francoise has. My priority in painting is to paint with passion, so of course Francoise's work feeds my soul. Thank you Francoise!
