Since Russia has been on the minds of the world, and less significantly the minds of my group mates and myself, I decided to do a little investigating into the realm of Russian contemporary art. One of the most striking examples that I came across was the work of Annouchka Brochet. Her work is oil on canvas, and is literally dripping with sensuality and passion, without being glorifying. They are usually of women's faces, and more recently of female celebrity's lips. An interesting subject matter do deal with, since the modern celebrity's face is, with only some stretch of the imagination, painted over as lavishly as these canvases. And to focus on the lips, the source of much expression, artifice and especially make-up, is an inspired idea.
