Mama and Babe
The flesh tones bring to mind the top-shelf liqueurs of a border bistro.
With an astonishing emphasis on facial bone structure, the artist flirts with caricature and captures features of Mama's face, reminding us of a First Lady.
The upright, marionettish pose of the babe hints that the early bond between mother and child is as formal as it is familiar.
Good old-fashioned parental respect is at the center of this celebration of color and contour.
