About
In this symbolist oil painting by Andrée Bars, clothes pins symbolize humans: two tightrope walkers being admired by the crowd, among whom there are children and all kinds of “people”. Alone in a corner is a member of the tribe who strives to tighten the rope, to maintain its balance. The whole scene takes place in a wooden box.
The artist would like to address us an image of our society where those who look and applaud (or not), do not see the forces that underpin the fragile balance of our society, nor those who are committed to keeping it that way.
This artwork is provided with a simple white floating frame.
Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition. She still applies these ancient masters’ technics on her art. Each painting contains at least three layers of oil paint. Andrée Bars applies her skills to hyper-realism on surrealist ideas.
Although her paintings copy the reality to the extreme, they can not be qualified in a simple term of hyperrealism nor of trompe-l’oeil style, her artworks distinguish themselves for a kind of mysterious sweetness they convey to the spectator.
