Original painting in oil on canvas.
"He stands for some time, the skies shift overhead, and he thinks to himself that his life is a happy one. The herd beat patterns into the soft earth beneath their hooves, he reads them like tea leaves and learns that a storm is coming. Tomorrow they will move on."
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.
