This oil on canvas is part of a small series of paintings inspired by the "Heads of Character" by Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, a German sculptor of the 18th century. I took a lot of fun painting these exaggeratedly expressive heads. Messerschmidt was considered crazy at the time he sculpted these heads, but that's the main point of his work. They were exhibited at the Louvre Museum Paris in 2011 with the collaboration of Neue Galerie New York. It is an oil on canvas, without framing, painted on the borders and signed at the bottom of the canvas (no suspension material).

Mercédès SORET is a French artist born in 1971 in the municipality of Elbeuf. She grew up in Rouen and currently lives and works near Alençon. In her works several exercises are mixed: that of oil painting on canvas and that of the reinterpretation of the main subject, which are mainly sculptures. Thanks to a digital metamorphosis and the addition of colours, she offers these wonders of the past a new existence in the world of contemporary art. She chose the quality of the oil to be able to work in transparency, make colour gradients or accentuate the contours, according to the subject that inspires her.
