BARDOT

French actress, singer and model who became the global face of the 1950s and 60s. Brigitte Bardot was often referred to by her initials B.B. She was a cultural lightning rod, personifying the sexual revolution and “absolute freedom” before abruptly retiring at the height of her fame to become a fierce animal rights activist. Her legacy is deep but complex.

Ghizlan paints with vivid colours and metalilic paints to capture light and show the essence of each subject on the canvas. The manifestation of this inner strength, painted as an outward projection of each form, is extended with the addition of illumination from behind the canvas. This creates an interactive work that reacts to the light and darkness around it.
