ART APPRECIATION
I'm not sure how I came across Francine Van Hove's paintings. I probably stumbled across Van Hove's work while researching Antonio Guzman Capel or realistic oil paintings.
The Parisian contemporary painter and illustrator uses oil, pastel and charcoal in her work. And like Antonio Guzman Capel, many of her realistic paintings captures the subject in private intimate settings.
Perhaps a common characteristic in her paintings, which I personally like, is the use of mirrors and reflections, such as the one of a young girl looking at herself in a tri-fold vanity mirror titled Argus (2006).
You can see more of Van Hove's work HERE.
