About the Item
Michel Debiève was born on May 29, 1931, with his twin brother Raymond, in a popular suburb of Maubeuge (North of France). Very early, encouraged by Emile, their father, the two brothers created with pencils, learning the lines on the paper or the tiles of the kitchen. The war disrupted the life of the family: Emile died and the twins were separated. In 1944, Madeleine, the mother, remarries with Lucien Henneuse, who offers them their first box of paint, their easels and pallets. Later came studies at the Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, on the recommendation of the painter Charles Bétrémieux, where their work was quickly noticed and rewarded: Raymond and Michel got awards each year. At home, Lucien transforms a room into a workshop for the two brothers, installs a forge in the garage: Raymond and Michel sculpt metal, enamel, create jewels, learn to modeling in the earth. In 1953, the two young artists enter the studio of the glass-painter Paul Ducatez, and are in close contact with the Abbé Mériaux, visionary priest attentive to the movement of Arts and Popular Traditions and founder of the Glass Museum of Sars-Poteries . For two years, they will mainly make stained glass windows for the surrounding churches. The sixties see the dissociation of twins, everyone will then conduct his work alone: Michel in Nantes, Raymond in Provence.

Surrealist Large Painting Royal College of Art LGBTQ+ Female Artist Yellow Red
By Isabel Rock
Located in Norfolk, GB
Isabel Rock is a creator of contemporary fairy tales. A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, her work is an explosion of strange occurrences while a surreal narrative takes the audience on a journey into the imagination.
In October 2023 Isabel won the Evelyn Williams Drawing Award at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. Known as the UK’s most prestigious annual open exhibition for drawing; part of the prize is a solo show at Hastings Contemporary, scheduled for 2024.
Whilst Isabel always has a tale to tell for each of her images, you may or may not choose to go on the journey with her or you may indeed have a different story, one of your own that jumps off the page at you, that that you decide to follow.
Artwork Details:
The Storm, 140x140cm, collaged woodblock print, acrylic ink, acrylic paint, 2020
* Please note this artwork is on two separate pieces of paper that have been joined together. The join is not obvious when looking at the work. At the time Isabel was desperate to make the piece but did not have a large enough piece of paper in the studio, so she joined two together.
Artwork Provenance: from the Artist Studio

In Isabels own words:
The Storm
It started with a butterfly flapping its wings, which caused an ant to drop a leaf it was carrying, the leaf fluttered and spun, it tickled the nose of a fox returning to its den, the fox sneezed which awoke a sleeping dog, the dog barked and the fox screamed, a baby in a house began to cry. The storm clouds gathered, threatening, grey, black, blue, like swollen bruises from the blows of life. Round and round they whirled, the butterfly flapping and flipping with them. People looked out of their windows and knew that the sky was falling on their heads. The swirling vortex opened and all life was sucked away, never to be seen again. All that was left was the tiny butterfly who shrugged its tiny shoulders and flapped its wings.
*Please note we are happy to ship this work rolled in an art tube. Whilst the work is on heavy duty art paper and mixed media, the artist is happy that the painting will be fine rolled in a tube. This is a more cost effective and environmentally sound method of shipping. Shipping via this method is free.
