Fine Art : Drawings : Christiane Frenay : Carman

 

Born in Villeneuve de la Raho, France, Christiane Frenay is an artist of Catalan descent, whose father, Jean Malé, was a famous artist as well (1914-1991). After graduating from the École des Beaux Arts et des Arts Appliqués de Toulouse (France), Christiane Frenay-Malé moved to Tunisia, where she lived and work for almost a decade. Then, in 1970, Frenay-Malé established her permanent residence in Canada but continued to observe and investigate the diverse roots and rituals of various cultures, always relating them to the basic question of existence. Since 1965, Frenay’s work has been exhibited in galleries, museums and is among many private collections in Belgium, Canada, France, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, and United States.

Christiane Frenay's fascination with the subject of woman, as an intriguing and sensual creature is exemplified in her drawing "Carmen", whose face expresses character, seductiveness and sensuality. There is mystery as to who this leotard, tutued figure is, but you are also captivated by her simplicity, while still being aware of the artist's joyous, radiant love of life.

This work of art is signed by the artist and measures 30" x 22" unframed and 37 1/2" x 30" framed.
