About the Item
Artist Comments
Candy is a night worker looking for prey. This artwork reports the poetry of the world and some of its magnificent paradoxes. The ungraciousness of prostitution, laid in colour, painted and emphasized, suddenly becomes majestic. Candy is a vibrating piece distinguishable by the boldness of its deep and brilliant tones. The scene is perceived at enough length to get both the sensibility of the woman and the heaviness of the urban environment in which she evolves.
About the Artist
Safae Mounsif was born in Casablanca, Morocco and studied architecture in France. For Safae, an interest in architecture has led to a fixation with the modern urban environment, which is the primary focus in her contemporary paintings. She selects subjects that are unglamorous and perhaps don’t easily fit into society–prostitutes, loners, blue collar workers, city kids. Safae’s depictions of these individuals are vivid and emotional. By tightly cropping her compositions, the viewer is compelled to interact with characters and situations that one might normally avoid. The result is a series of engaging portraits that bring life to urban characters and encourages the viewer to consider the individual’s circumstances.
