Cécile Defforey French
Overview
Cowboy
"After seeing Samuel Fuller’s 1957 film Forty Guns long ago, I liked the idea of having my own team of 40 cowboys—but unarmed—men in nature, wonders of Nature." -Cécile Defforey
An artist who evokes pure magic!
In this series titled Cowboys, the artist presents different cowboys across the seasons, rendered in gouache, pastel, and endlessly multiplied cut-outs, shown either as portraits or full-length figures. Like a squadron emerging from her own personal universe, they convey both surrealism and reverie.
