Two from Ghislaine Fremaux

Breath (Devan), Ghislaine Fremaux. 2012. Pastel and Watercolor

Before you know I am in the world I am already kill by you. My mouth is open, my legs go softly and the heart is stretching to break. (Cory), Ghislaine Fremaux. 2012. Pastel and watercolor on paper

Frequently in her studio work, Ghislaine Fremaux incorporates multiple sheets of paper into her large-scale portraits. Rather than hiding this, the edges of the paper are left visible and are incorporated into the way that colors and shapes are separated from each other. Her process of shading, coloring, and recoloring are evident in the residues of watercolor and pastel at the edges of the images, revealing her craft. The combinations of paper add more to this aspect of the work, as well as making the portraits seem oddly three-dimensional.
