Portrait PS 231 La Dormante

Bazévian DelaCapucinière is a French artist whose works have appeared in numerous exhibitions and publications in Europe, and also in America or in Asia.

Bazévian focuses on portraits of women, men and children. Face is central in Bazévian's work. As a social vector, it brings an emotional dimension through the gaze. On the other hand, Bazévian unpacks the consumerist imagery that saturates society— namely impossibly perfect magazine pictures— by composing figures whose bodies disappear and faces form in an explosion of vivid colour. For Delacapucinière, these faces are vessels of social standards, and their interpretation therefore becomes an invitation to challenge such norms.

Bazévian used several techniques with oil, oil pastel and acrylic to create small, medium and large painting, developing new technique of expression by dilatation and extracting the painting.
