Pépé Smit (1963) - Fallen for you
\Artist: Pépé Smit (1963) \Signature: Signed\Dimensions: 45_70_5_cm
Pépé Smit was represented at the beginning of this century by Art. Space Witzenhausen Amsterdam and Aeroplastics Gallery in Brussels. Provenance: directly from the artist State of Mind The first quick impression when looking over the photos of Pépé Smit will be that of very sweet pictures. However those who take a closer look will see a different world emerging. The more darker side of the images will reveal itself to you. Cynicism, humour, sexual references, taboo's, they all start to stare you in the face. With pleasure Smit explores the clichés and taboo's of our society. Clichés such as the innocence of children, feminine beauty, motherhood and art itself are all being tackled. Her own version of 'Déjeuner sur l'herbe' set on an alp and the woman in a pretty dress with pink roses do indeed refer to Allen Jones figure of a woman as a drawing room table.
