Fauve blue et copines Painting

Jacqueline Engels was inspired by painters around the late 19th and early 20th century, the fin de siecle. It is mainly the flat decorative imagery that has an enormous appeal to her. Re-appropriated art. The women of Pierre Bonnard where the inspirational source. She likes the abrasive contrast between graceful lines and geometric, decorative patterns, and likes to combine contrasting strict clean lines with the loose touch, or the organic. Previously painted surfaces undergo a metamorphosis when she chooses form, writing and material during the painting process. Coincidence therefore plays a major role in her work and ensures a playful whole. Her sensitivity in the use of paint and choice of materials, the omission of depth and perspective, and the fresh subtle use of color create a very unique atmosphere. Figurative but with a wink to the abstract.
