Detailed description

Picture "Bananas, of all things!" (2023)

As a horror-vacui motif, this still life with the unusual title "Bananas of all things!" exudes pure energy and joie de vivre. The for a still life quite large format of 70 x 60 cm could also be an antidote to winter blues and bad weather mood.

About Mo Fontaine

Mo Fontaine's work is all about color and its manifold expressions: from subtle to expressive.
In her still lifes, portraits and collages, she combines elements from different cultures and times, because she loves the European art of the old masters as much as the Japanese art of the 17th century. In this way, 'decelerated', magical-sensual images are created, which also transport the discredited concept of beauty. Seen in this light, some of the paintings seem to have 'fallen out of time' - not least because the paintings quite consciously refuse a fundamental category of the avant-gardes: the 'art of artlessness'. The aim is a timeless art that will certainly still function in two or three hundred years. She completed her artistic training at the Folkwang-Hochschule in Essen.
