About The Artwork

This is a second commission ordered by someone who has a passion for Leonard Cohen. My brief was to basically use the lyrics from "Anthem", as part of the painting. This is the second of this series, and part of two I am working on: the day and the night. Obviously this is the day part, and the night part will be the same size, but with blueish colours. "Anthem" by Leonard Cohen The birds they sang At the break of day Start again I heard them say Don't dwell on what Has passed away Or what is yet to be Yeah the wars they will Be fought again The holy dove She will be caught again Bought and sold And bought again The dove is never free Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) That's how the light gets in We asked for signs The signs were sent The birth betrayed The marriage spent Yeah the widowhood Of every government Signs for all to see I can't run no more With that lawless crowd While the killers in high places Say their prayers out loud But they've summoned, they've summoned up A thundercloud And they're going to hear from me (Ring, ring, ring, ring) Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) That's how the light gets in You can add up the parts You won't have the sum You can strike up the march There is no drum Every heart, every heart to love will come But like a refugee (Ring, ring, ring, ring) Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) That's how the light gets in Ring the bells that still can ring (ring the bells that still can ring) Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything) That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in

Isabelle Séné was born in France in 1969 and has lived in Britain since 1991. Painting has always been in her family: her father, whom she truly admires, is a talented photographer and painter; and her mother, a wonderfully creative mind who could create beauty out of anything, discovered herself a passion for painting murals late in her life. They are Isabelle’s inspiration which led to the journey of experiencing the intimacy and freedom between the mind and the canvas, the soul and the paint. Isabelle uses colours and textures to create an emotional rather than a realistic form of expression; painting what she feels when seeing something or someone – believing the internal expression and observation holds as much value as the external. Inspired by colours, shapes and textures as well as feelings and emotions, she has a passion for engaging with unusual mediums such as pebbles, sand, strings, wood shavings or simply layers of paint applied with the hands in order to get a thickly texturized piece of art which will invoke temptation by the viewers to touch, smell and merge closely with the painting. In 2011 Isabelle resigned from the corporate world of Investment Banking and moved to the south coast in a bid to start a new life away from the hustle and bustle of London. Since then, she finished a full-time course in antiques restoration, started a successful business in furniture making and restoration with her partner, and created a much loved community project supporting marginalised women and refugees in Portsmouth. Moving to Hampshire from London was key in enabling Isabelle to develop an increased level of artistic expression and ethical rewards.
