Francoise Ben Arous
French Born artist, Francoise Guillo-Ben Arous is a uniquely talented artist that incorporates Asian Joss Paper (a traditional mourning paper used in Asian funerals as requiem for the deceased) to created fluidly textured collages and compositions on canvas. The gold and silver papers of lament glimmers in the light and allows the numerous dimensions to be displayed with an eye catching glow permitting the shapes and blazing reflective surface and patterns to awaken. Her works are deliberately reminiscent of Eastern philosophy; the cyclical and ongoing process of life and death, regeneration and destruction, beginning and end, the processes that recycle the ever changing shapes and entities of life.
Francoise is an avid traveler, explorer and creator that has incorporated her vast experiences to capture the essence of Asia and to harmonize it with her Western background, a definitive cross cultural artist that disseminates a message of origin, spirituality and transcendence. The golden leaves that are gingerly displayed on canvas are not confined only to mourning but rather bring forth a vivacity for life that is indicative of her work. The chromatic variations, lighting alterations and the denseness of details entreats the viewer to a prolonged attention and curiosity for the piece. Francoise currently resides in New York City with her family and continues to travel throughout Asia expanding her scope of understanding and relevance for her art.
