Françoise Pétrovitch: Inklings
- Apr 27, 2012 at 7:00am to Jun 23, 2012 at 1:00pm EDT
- Location: FIAF Gallery
- Description:
The FIAF Gallery is pleased to present the New York debut exhibition of Françoise Pétrovitch, a widely admired French artist. Her work is featured in the public collections of several French museums and has been exhibited internationally. Her recent, large-scale installation at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature generated significant acclaim and interest in her work.
In Inklings, Pétrovitch pairs her whimsical yet unsettling ink wash drawings with a video installation of over 200 designs. Ethereal and haunting, the raw animal drawings are simultaneously infused with a sense of intimacy and fragility. A sculptor with extensive experience, including at the historic Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, Pétrovitch brings a powerful sense of substance and form to her two dimensional drawings.
Tour this engaging exhibition and explore Françoise Pétrovitch’s imaginative world.
Free and open to the public.
