Indian ink drawing

For Private Choice 2024, a new medium enters Olivier Lépront's oeuvre: Indian ink. Giving a monochromatic character to his works, it transforms them into trompe-l'œil, with the appearance of black-and-white photographs. The use of ink washes not only gives her work a vintage character, but also undermines the psychedelic appearance of the inflatables usually found on the seashore. The artist captures banal scenes of life, which he freezes in an undefined environment. Here, the artist has taken as his model the beach toy sellers observed in Cefallu, southern Italy.
