Francoise Bossut (born 1950)
Françoise Bossut is a contemporary expressionist painter working primarily in acrylic on canvas. Her landscapes, seascapes and figures are unified with intensity of colour and contrasts, alongside an explosive expressive quality. All are semi-abstract with a bravura of technique.
"In painting, all subjects can be the pretext to make marks in colour. I have a preference for certain theme: figures in scenes from life, landscapes which allow me to move towards the abstract, especially; water, the sea, trees..... Always central is the rapport of warm and cool tones, light and shadow, and texture."
-Francoise Bossut
Complimentary to her abstract work, Francoise maintains her practice in realism with life drawing classes that she teaches at her studio in Trévoux near Lyon. Works are produced as pencil, charcoal, conte and watercolour on paper. This ongoing practice aids her abstract work with control of medium and intense concentration of eye.
We will be exhibiting Françoise's landscapes at Art London 6-11 October 2011.
