Venus red ochre. Original charcoal and pastel drawing by artist Sophie Sainrapt.

Size: 50 cm x 65 cm.

Sophie Sainrapt is a complete artist whose favorite theme is the female nude, which she sensually caresses with her charcoal, pastels and brushes. She artfully practices various techniques: marouflé drawing, ceramics, engraving, linoleum... She also illustrates numerous artist's books, published by Pasnic and Renard Pale.

Retour De Voyage is delighted to be exhibiting her magnificent drawings for the third time, this time in dialogue with Guan Yuliang's Lavis. The two artists met in Beijing in 2017, during a group exhibition - artistic love at first sight! Since then, they have enjoyed a dialogue between their worlds: Guan Yuliang's fine, vaporous Indian ink lines resonate with Sophie Sainrapt's deep, carnal blacks and reds. The contrast is striking, almost musical: black reveals red, the Orient meets emotion.
