Untitled
Rendered in acrylic, ballpoint pen, pencil, charcoal pencil, and marker, this work on paper features three semi-nude, half-submerged women aloof lounging in repose at a spa.
David Rappeneau’s visions of alterity remind us that our appetites have remained insatiable, only further whetted by our entrée into the digital. Rappeneau’s figures occupy a ground that is perpetually spinning. His scenes, thick with activity, depict characters in the throws of ecstasy, climax always on the verge of arrival.
