Description
“Jean thinks white spirit stinks" is part of my series exploring masculine identity and the perception of others. Through this play on words between French and English, I use humor to tackle a serious issue: racism.
The title twists the expression —a solvent known for its strong smell—to highlight the absurdity of racial prejudice and the toxicity it spreads.
The portrait, depicting a Black man, combines strength and sensitivity. I wanted him to emanate both dignity and weariness, as a quiet reflection of the weight racism imposes on bodies and gazes.
Created with oil pastels and oil paint for the background, this A5 piece plays with contrasts in texture and tone. The thick strokes, vivid hues, and expressive gestures heighten the tension between irony and denunciation.
The artwork is sold framed, in a simple black frame with a mat board, allowing the intensity of the portrait to take center stage.
Presentation
Born in 1986 in La Louvière (Belgium), G. Carta now lives and creates in Le Havre, Normandy. At the age of 16, she gave herself her first brushes and acrylic paints, sparking a deep passion for portraits and the human body. Over time, she refines her technique, swapping acrylics for the richness of oil painting.
In 2019, she made a decisive choice: leaving her job as a sales agent to fully dedicate herself to her artistic vocation. Since then, her works have traveled across Europe and the United States, reaching collectors who resonate with her unique world.
In 2023, her encounter with oil pastels was a true revelation. This medium became a playground where texture brings emotions to life. Through curved forms, she expresses both sensuality and pain, weaving an intimate dialogue between color and feeling. Flesh tones transform into shades of orange or blue, reinventing existence through unexpected contrasts.
Her art is a quest for identity, deep values, deconstruction, and reconstruction. Each piece invites vulnerability, offering a dive into her raw and sincere reality
