Nicolas de Crécy: Ruthless Portrait

View through Artsy
Philippe Labaune Gallery is pleased to present Ruthless Portrait, an exhibition of paintings and drawings by French artist Nicolas de Crécy. The artist offers, through his various portraits, his singular vision of human beauty removed from the common standards of advertising aesthetics. These are the faces of the street that no one would notice, faces without apparent beauty, sometimes damaged by life, often hollowed out by age, sublime or sad, yet always mesmerizing once interpreted by Crécy.
