Oil painting with a knife by Francoise Nielly
Friday November 19, 2010 |
 This was one of those lucky Friday afternoon finds, oil paintings by Francoise Nielly. Not just any oil paintings, but oil paintings with a KNIFE! A KNIFE. Hard enough to paint with a brush of any size, but Francoise Nielly is able to create these detailed pieces with the tip and blade of a knife. Here is a mini write-up we just read about Nielly on her website: Françoise Nielly’s painting is expressive, exhibiting a brute force, a fascinating vital energy. Oil and knife combine to sculpt her images from a material that is , at the same time, biting and incisive, charnel and sensual. Whether she paints the human body or portraits, the artist takes a risk : her painting is sexual, her colors free, exuberant, surprising, even explosive, the cut of her knife incisive, her color pallet dazzling. Quite impressive work. More below. We think we see an Obama and Sarkozy in here somewhere.      http://www.francoise-nielly.com/
