Here are a few pictures of my latest booth at Maison et Objet.
My exhibitions space was smaller than usual ( you do not always get what you want on such huge shows) so, instead of showing a variety of medium sized paintings as I usually do I decided to cover my three walls ( height 3,5 m / 10,5 ft) with three large murals.
I wanted to show potential customers how a space is positively altered by such large artworks ...and I think it worked pretty well.

The canvas on the left ( 3x3,5m) is a "modern" composition whose main motif is a fragment of a painting by Pierre Auguste Cot ( 1837-1883). |

The central painting ( 4 x 3m) is a grisaille based on an acanthus leaves sketch that I blew up to a very large size and a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci that I slightly modified . |

Small painting of a detail of a beautiful cake whose composition echoes the curves of the acanthus leaves. |

The panel on the right was inspired by an XVIIIth century watercolor ( did not find the name of the painter). I also transformed it a little ( removed buildings, changed the sky ...). |

Small painting of XVIIIth century shoes ; I thought there was a nice relationship between these shoes and the style and colors of the landscape. |

This was also on Maison et Objet , on Moissonnier booth. This is a copy of a portrait of Betty de Rotschild by Ingres , ten times bigger than the original , probably technically the hardest piece I ever painted. |
Absolutely stunning!!!!! Congratulations! Wished I could have seen it with my own eyes!

Thank you so much Greet, I am very glad you like it!
SupprimerOne day, I will go back to Maison et Objet and see your work in person again. Your booths are always so well thought out. I also love the top border with your name. Very clever.
RépondreSupprimerThank you very much Theresa. The top border is also meant to bring some colors in a slightly too "grey" setting , I am glad you like it!
