JOHANNE CULLEN


    She considers herself a realist rather than a hyper-realist, As one might conclude from some of her paintings. Beyond mere visual effect, this realism is an endeavour to reveal the depth of human experience. The expression of the hands, the direction of the gaze, and strong, distinct lines in some way highlight (sometimes accenting and sometimes contradicting) an attitude that is not always obvious at first glance, adding to the intrigue of her work. In some instances, her paintings are broken up into a diptych or triptych, and the gestures portrayed extend beyond a single canvas. Bear in mind that Johanne Cullen has a rich background as a scenic artist for movies (Le Matou; Les Fous de Bassan; The Moderns; Comment faire l’amour avec un negre sans se fatiguer; Sous les draps, les etoiles; If looks Could Kill; etc.) which may explain her approach to her current work.
