This series of paintings combines acrylic, spray-paint, oil-base paint-marker, silk-screen and sharpie markers on plastic, canvas, rag and paper.

 “I studied figure on my own throughout high school and college. At the center of the pieces exhibited I am trying to explore the relationship between the figure and the face along side other shapes and objects. To explore how things can take on similar dimensions and randomly align in the smooth lines and the sharp angles.”   cv français
