Original painting in oil on canvas.
"Sitting down amongst the herbs, shrubs and the flowers, I can disappear into a forest of my own creation. In my mind I build a tree-house suspended in the bows of the basil plant, one velvet sage leaf becomes my bed and from here I swing my legs, the sun warming my skin, simply listening to the bird song and enjoy a new perspective..."
Paris Blanche Magenta Foot's paintings retain a unique and distinctive visual language, which is immediately recognizable and absorbing. Foot’s mixed media pieces are also brilliant; tactile and engaging - and quite touching. The faces of the pieces - caught somewhere between figuration, puppetry and debris – are reminiscent of the luminous faces of the films of the silent era, despite being based on personal source material culled and elevated from family photographs. Stylistically incongruent, the expressions of the figures seem sweetly unaware of what the rest of them are made up of.
