Le Travesti

Original title: Le travesti

In a field of tall grass, a blonde figure in an open white fur coat.

Pines stand behind and cornflowers grow at the figure’s feet, a sprig of them held in one hand. The body the coat reveals carries the signs of both sexes, painted without emphasis in the even light of summer. Nothing in the picture is in disguise. It simply lets a person stand there, upright in the grass.

About the series

Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
