Original painting in oil on canvas.
"She can contain her curiosity no longer, tentatively stepping out to take a closer look at this bizarre landscape. Having watched from a distance for so long, things feel very different to how she imagined they would; false somehow. She is glad to be going home."
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.
