Description from the seller
A workshop corner bathed in pale-window light, invaded by stacks of books and art monographs. Bent over, back to the viewer, a brunette woman with a bun, completely nude, leafs through a large open book on reproductions — cubist figures and portraits in bright colors. To the right, framed, a Venus rising from the waters in Renaissance fashion. Semiotically, the painting is a meditation on representation: the real, living, and carnal body leans over the painted bodies, from the classical Venus to modern deconstructions — a silent dialogue between the model and the history of art that has always depicted her. The warm flesh tone contrasts with the browns of the bindings and the gray of the wall; rich impastos on the flesh, a studio texture in the great tradition of the female nude.
Le Yack, emerging French pop and street art artist. Alexandre Pelletier, known as Le Yack, was born in 1972 in Tours. During his studies, he joined the École Supérieure d'Art et de Design (ESAD) in Orléans. He is artistic director in publishing and on the web. Instagram @leyack45. He is exhibited within a network of around forty galleries in France, Germany, Belgium, the United States.
