Lorioz

Jeanne Lorioz's exagerated women always manage to bring a smile to my face; they are feminine and playful and they remind me slightly of Botero's work. Both artists poke fun at contemporary standards of beauty which I love. Lorioz has a particular fascination with the derriere which is...um..telling. You can find her work at Stephanie Hoppen's gallery in London:

Is she falling of the settee??


Check out how diminutive the man is compared to her!
