"Portrait of a 70's fan" by Valerie Andriantsiferana
“This painting is part of a series named “Ceci est un portrait”, which means “This is a portrait”. The initial idea was to paint the absence; when there is not more than an empty chair. Then the idea became more playful: paint a portrait under the shape of an armchair. For each painting, I look for which armchair and imagery correspond to a person, famous or not. In this painting, it is actually the portrait of person who's a fan of the 70’s style. Velvet, patterned wallpaper, bright colors: this is 70’s!”
