JO Y POSSO - Billie Holiday

This work is inspired by Billie Holiday and her iconic title "Strange Fruit"
A strong and striking image, between aesthetics and memory
An intense and engaged piece, charged with emotion

This is one of my creations

My bio:
Jo y Posso
Artist

The French artist Jo y Posso lives in Pigalle, just a stone's throw from the Moulin Rouge

For 20 years, she worked in fashion as a stylist, and she spends the rest of her time creating collages and lighting fixtures. She cuts apart her art books to create encounters between the great classical figures and the icons of pop art, thus telling sensual, funny, and feminist stories. More recently, Jo y Posso has turned to mixed media to incorporate street art influences into her work.

In her studio in Pigalle, Jo y Posso paints the woman in all her states; between strength and vulnerability, humor and sensuality. These icons borrowed from both classical art and pop culture present a plural image but always liberating of the
woman. At the heart of this decisively pop and street work, writing also holds a prominent place; excerpts from literary texts, poems, or songs occupy her canvases like landscapes. And it is in these words that one must come to find all the meaning
