Painter Bazévian Delacapucinière

PachaMama Glósóli 005 - Pachamama refers to the God mother of the Earth in the Peruvian culture. Glósóli means sunbeam in Icelandic language. This painting from the serie Pachamama Glósóli is referring to a closeup of a face, more precisely a strong glance or look.

Bazévian Delacapucinière is an artist, now based in France who painted vibrant figurative painting with vivid colors. Norwegian, Brasilian, Korean, Bazévian spent 10 years on the road, meeting a lot of artists and people. Bazévian focuses mostly on portraits, because the face is a vital part of how we express ourselves. «Face is language and meaning. It is obviously the location for the expressions and emotions which gives information about the character. However, the face is also the only part of the body that is normally exposed and naked. We can't hide it in our society. Finally, it belongs to social issue".

Embedded memories - It’s a collaboration painting with the famous artist conceptual photograph Fares Micue. This is an unique mix media artwork of painting on photograph. In this project we intended to merge a photograph full of emotion with the thickness of the painting, playing with the dualism and particular characteristics of each technique: smooth of photography /thickness of the painting, light/dark, abstract with flowers form and dripping/realism of photography, density with flowers and painting/ on a simple background.

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 Bazévian, 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. Bazévian has held solo exhibitions in France, Norway, Brazil and South Korea. Emerging artist, Bazévian’s painting can be found in all collection from US to Europe.

PS 40 Poppy - PS or synthetic posture refers to a body/face language which is unnatural, very appealing and often overplayed as we can read or watch from model advertising. First, it’s a consumer product before being a person. I used expressive force for regenerating the living by working with spatula and different medium such as oil pastel, oil painting and acrylic. Thus, the mouth and eyes are done with realistic effect to create the vectors of living. The expressionist skin is more “fogginess” and belong to the “disappearance” of the body.
