Françoise Nielly paints with an expressive, exhibiting a brute force, fascinating vital energy. Oil and knife combine to sculpt her images from a material that is, at the same time, biting and incisive, charnel and sensual. Whether she paints the human body or portraits, the artist takes a risk: her colors free, exuberant, surprising, even explosive, the cut of her knife incisive, her color pallet dazzling.
