ISABELLE PELISSIER PAGE

Here are some examples of "postcards" by the young but increasingly well
known sculptor and artist Isabelle Pelissier. She was born in Guadeloupe. 
Much of her artist growth took place in France--in Orleans and more
particularly in Paris.  Now she is a major artist, and she also lives and
works in Buffalo.

FROM GERONIMO

Pelissier found a suitcase full of old postcards and in three short
weeks made a great many very small paintings.  "It was a very special
time,"  she says, and mentions "the compression of time,"  and that the
paintings "represent an inventory of things that I owned." The resulting
quick, brushy works, spread about here and there, have a fragmented,
snapshot quality and an early Diebenkorn air.  Lush, creamy miniatures--a
soldierly bottle of wine, a rolling pin that seems to float like an
elongated butterfly, a cheese grater, an electric cord in a socket, a
Panama hat, a white bowl, a blue black bowl, a lime.
Trèscher, très intime. "I move so much, I had to find
a way to carry things," she explains.
