This silkscreen was made for the exhibition “De Aquis Confusis” at the Jean Cocteau Museum. The rose has been present in my practice for many years by a simple implementation, soaking and covering in liquid plaster of the flower to preserve its fragility, once the plaster hardened.

Drawn in dialogue with the rose from the garden of Beauty and the Beast of Jean Cocteau, it is a tribute to the beauty and love lost, to the circulating red, the blood of Adonis.  Frédérique Nalbandian
