Description from the seller
Le Harem is part of the series One Thousand and One Nights, painted by Isa Sator in 2016.
Near a basin, three naked women surrender themselves, intertwined on cushions and drapes in gold-yellow, midnight blue, brown and violet.
The bodies are heightened with gold touches and outlined with a fine gold line, like an illuminated manuscript.
Isa revisits the harem of Oriental tales, and the whole tradition of odalisques in painting.
No external gaze here: only rest, complicity and the pleasure of being together.
The pink nails, the jewelry and the relief of the hairstyles tell of coquetry and the gentleness of these suspended hours.
A sensual and luminous work, between an Oriental tale and color expressionism.

The artist ISA SATOR
Isa Sator is a French painter, colorist and illustrator born in 1963 in Île-de-France.
A former lawyer at the Paris bar, she has devoted herself entirely to painting since the 2000s, when she lived in the South Pacific.
As a plastic artist, Isa Sator possesses a singular visual universe, at the crossroads of fashion, monumental architecture and landscapes that invite contemplation.
Her work explores the beauty of forms, the poetry of spaces, and the essence of beings.

What they say:
- Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret (lelitteraire.com): a language at the crossroads of Nolde, Cocteau, Masson, Joëlle de La Casinière and Basquiat.
- Ward Morehouse III (National Arts Club, New York, 2007): a painting close to Chagall and Picasso; a path that evokes Gauguin in the Southern seas.
- Patrick Wassef (La Gazette des Arts): a vital force always present, a character that has refined itself over the years.
- Mylène Vignon (Saisons de Culture): the free and extravagant beauty of the Great Cocycles.
- Vittorio E. Pisu (S'Arti Nostra): "Picasso of the 21st century."
