In a career highlight Wayne Sleeth has been selected by a jury for a solo show at the Orangerie Museum in the Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, this coming August. He will be producing 25 paintings under the title ‘MonetMonetMonet’ as part of a 7 year body of work inspired by the waterlilies (Nypmhéas) of Claude Monet. These works are an utterly contemporary citation of the classic series by Monet, and will be executed on canvas in spray paints, collaged elements, and marker pens. Wayne explains this is his “second major opportunity born of a long admiration and reinterpretation of Monet’s oeuvre” – the first, in 2018, being a commission of 18 large paintings for the Brittany Ferries company, destined for their future vessel the Honfleur. In light of being awarded this solo show in the historic Orangerie Museum the prices of Wayne’s works will increase in the summer. So now is an excellent time to invest in these works of post-impressionism crafted distinctly for the 21st century eye and rendered in irradiant palettes. |
