About the Item

Swan Scalabre "Western n°5" Oil on Wood 10 x 12 in. Framed Born in the Alpes de Haute Provence region of France in 1977, Swan Scalabre investigates the silent gaze placed on women, portraying them in a delicate, dreamlike state. After graduating the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Scalabre worked as an artistic director in the communication and fashion sectors, carrying her penchant for design and textiles into her current body of work. Painting with oil on wood, her small-scale works invite the viewer to get close in order to properly view the intricate details and surface textures. Intimate in subject matter and size, Scalabre’s paintings are placed in wooden shadowbox frames that she affectionately calls “secret boxes.” Poetic and nostalgic, her work communicates a constant desire to escape reality and temporality while illustrating the common plights of women from classic movies, fairytales, and their iconographies. Exuding femininity, memory, and at times pain, with each new composition Scalabre reveals another glimpse into her fantastical world that begs to be visited. Swan Scalabre currently lives and works in Gers, France.

  • French Romantic School, 19th Century, Portrait of a man, oil on paper
    Located in Paris, FR
    French Romantic School, 19th Century Portrait of a man, a selfportrait ? oil on paper 17.5 x 12 cm oval Framed under glass : 43 x 34.5 cm This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer. What this man seems to be staring at is himself. Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy. It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...
