About the artwork:
This painting depicts a bikini-clad woman lounging on a light green chaise surrounded by a small table, an open book, a water bottle and two oranges. The artist draws his narrative scenes and characters from both his imagination and from real-world observation—including television and the internet. Tessier created this work in his signature style by applying casein paint directly to a primed metal sheet. The result is a beautiful low-luster sheen that highlights every brushstroke.
