Catherine Abel - Australia
Belle du Jour
Catherine Abel crea suggestivi dipinti ad olio in
una combinazione di stili classici e tematiche
della moderna sensualità femminile. Le sue opere
sono composizioni fortemente seducenti di forza e
bellezza.
Long inspired by the art movements and the bold
angular shapes of the early 20th century,
australian artist Catherine Abel creates striking
figurative oil paintings. Combining classic styles
with complex themes of modern feminine sexuality,
her works are powerfully seductive compositions of
strength and beauty. Influenced at an early age by
the works of Picasso, Braque and Dali, and more
recently Andre Lhote and Tamara de Lempicka, her
work has evolved into a truly original style. Abel
began her professional painting career in 2000
when she moved to Paris. During her sojourn there,
and travels to Italy, she was introduced to the
traditional renderings and compositions of the
Renaissance Masters. “They have greatly influenced
my technique and desire to render the female form
in an expression of beauty and grace”. Catherine
has returned to Australia after 3 years living and
exhibiting in Paris and San Francisco. She has
rapidly established herself in Sydney as a fine
art painter, while continuing to exhibit and sell
internationally.
