Béatrice Casadesus


Last summer, I saw an exhibition of the work of French artist, 



It was shown at the musée de Cahors Henri-Martin, in the lovely southwestern town of Cahor.


The exhibit featured the beautiful, etherial paintings of  Casadesus, as well as, her soft sculptures, of layers of hand dyed fabric.



There was also a short film, which I have included below, of her at work in her studio. I always enjoy seeing how other artists work, so I was intrigued by the way she achieved her deeply layered paintings. Especially interesting is that she uses bubble wrap to create her mysteriously beautiful images.




Although, the film is in French & is a bit long, it does, never the less, offer an interesting insight into the act of creation.

I hope it may provide a little bit of inspiration for a productive & creative weekend.


Happy Friday all!
