About the artwork

This painting by Florence Reymond depicts a helmeted child whose cry is difficult for the viewer to interpret: an expression of fright, a burst of laughter or a warlike threat? In a green, desert-like landscape, the child crouches beside a fruit basket and two glasses arranged in the manner of a Flemish still life. The glowing pink of his skin clashes with the green tones of the rest of the composition, creating an eerie but colorful universe.

Expert opinion

This oil on canvas is representative of the work of Florence Reymond, whose universe is permeated by childhood, violence, the body, religion and death. In her drawings and paintings, the worlds of childhood and adulthood collide without complacency, leaving the viewer in a state of inexplicable disquiet. The darkness of the artist's subjects is soothed by her choice of bright, cheerful colors.

About the artist

Florence Reymond, born in Lyon in 1971, is a French artist whose main medium is painting. Although her practice has diversified since graduating from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Etienne in 1994, questions about childhood and bodies remain central to her concerns. Borrowing her motifs from art history, popular culture and personal archives, Florence Reymond composes in dialogue with a memory she has lost. As a result, her works can appear incoherent, even strange: each element is juxtaposed, without proposing a clear narrative language. However, by playing on the imagination and memory of each individual, the painter has succeeded in creating a universe which, despite its singularity, invites anyone to enter. Her work has been the subject of several solo exhibitions in France and, on occasion, abroad, and in 2010 she was awarded the Prix Novembre in Vitry, following her 2007 prize at the Biennale d'Issy.
