This work is part of my Colder series. It is an exploration of detachment. This passage by Jane Hirshfield inspired this work and this series: "You must try, the voice said, to become colder. I understood at once. It's like the bodies of gods: Cast in bronze, braced in stone. Only something heartless could bear the full weight."
Rachel Francis is a Toronto artist who works in primarily in acrylic. For her, “art’s subject is the human clay” to quote W.H. Auden. She loves the human form and the rough and tumble of its existence and as a result, her work is strongly figurative. Her work has been exhibited in the Canadian Fine Arts Gallery, the IX Gallery, the Women’s Art Association Gallery, the Oakwood Public Library and Arts Center and the Spazio Dell’Arte Gallery, among others.
Her work is regularly featured online on ArtBomb and on Saatchi.com.Her paintings can be found in collections in Canada, the United States, France and Australia.
