Cali Rezo
30 Oct 07
Cali Rezo is a French graphic artist who does digital paintings with a tablet and a pen. I find the work luscious, warm, and sensual. (I hadn’t planned to write about it here, but del.icio.us wouldn’t let me leave a long enough note!)
In particular, I wanted to make note of five images:
59
disparition05
curieuses
fleurs
chut
Rezo’s portfolio page is a little hard to navigate—scads of tiny thumbnails. There are some things I find a little unsatisfying about the work. It’s perhaps a little too precious at times, and other times just silly. Many of her portraits have absurdly huge eyes, and I find this both a little off-putting and compelling. A number of the images are consciously evocative of Gustav Klimt, and although I had to think about it for a while, I’ve decided I rather like them.
So stop reading words and go look at pictures!
