Francoise Nielly; expressionist
I was impressed with her paintings because of the very stark colouring. Her biography tells the tale of a woman born in the south of France, living between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, growing accustomed to the light and atmosphere of France, never leaving it for long. She studied at the Beaux arts and Decorative Arts and expositions in Europe the United-States and Canada.
Françoise Nielly’s painting is expressive, exhibiting a brute force, a fascinating vital energy. Oil and knife combine tsculpt 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.
Prizes in her online store start at € 500 which gets your one square meter of painting either in very lifely colours or the more starker ones. If you pass through Bordeaux before December, drop by the Galerie Rouge for a real-life viewing.
