harsh splendor

francoise nielly. these are some of her glorious works. to state the pretty much obvious, she paints these massive masterpieces with oil and a palate knife. the hard-edged technique she uses, combined with an array of delicious colour gives her work such vibrant, sexual, exuberant energy. stunning.

hardly believable

"she portrays a specific place and time with simultaneous empathy and detachment." alyssa monks. no, not a photographer. a painter. amazing photo-realistic stuff. although i think her subject adds to the magic of her pieces. beautiful bare flesh.
