Painting La caresse by Malfreyt Corinne | Painting Figurative Life style Nude Oil

"La caresse" is a painting by Corinne Malfreyt from the series "Le Sacre après Pina": a woman offers a red scarf to a man, who accepts it with a caress. For Corinne Malfreyt, inspired by Pina BAUSCH's choreography "The Rite of Spring" by Igor STRAVINSKY, the space between the bodies is still dance. On her canvases, she installs an architecture of rhythms and chromatic nuances, a variation of grays sometimes punctuated by resonant reds, where the dancers' momentum seeks and finds its place. Correspondence of background and form, to render the emotion felt, the colored matter, within the suggested limits of the drawing, dances, palpitates and vibrates in harmonic cadences, in fragile balances, the instant of the composition.(...)

The artist applies sand to the canvas and paints with a knife in oil paint for an all-material rendering.
