Presences - curated by Rose Boutboul

A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - This selection explores the human figure (or nearly so) from both a psychological and carnal perspective, where the face becomes the canvas for artistic experimentation. The collection showcases a wide range of approaches: from classically precise oil portraits, where the interplay of skin tones and light sculpts the depth of features, to more contemporary acrylics with vibrant colors and bold graphic lines. It also features mixed media on canvas, incorporating collages or raw textures that fragment the physiognomy to better reveal its inner complexity. Whether charcoal drawings capturing the fragility of an expression or large-format canvases with a magnetic presence, each work uses materials to transform the subject into a silent and powerful encounter with the viewer.
