Duprat Françoise | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

When painting, working on these themes requires time and deep concentration for Françoise. On the contrary, drawing takes place instantaneously and allows the artist a moment of pure spontaneity. Working in series, Françoise Duprat treats the subjects of her compositions as pretexts to her creative research. Acrylics allow for the colour and form to be worked quickly and also lend themselves well to superimposing and transparency games. For the artist, there is everything to play for at the start. Using large brushes, she thus allows the lumps of the material take form, privileging the contrasts between a smooth surface like marble and the roughness of granite. Oils and its smooth texture then put the finishing touches to her canvases, definitively marrying the lines of the drawing and the effects of the material.
