When i first glanced at Barbara Cole's work i immediately thought "what a skilled painter!" only to find out, these images are actually photographs. She calls herself a photographic artist.
Even though my taste strives on old school non-retouched photography, i have to admit that i am blown away by the quality of this work. I love being challenged by my own perception of what Art is or should be.
Ceci n'est pas une peinture...
Barbara Cole se qualifie d'artiste photographique, elle crée ses images comme des tableaux, en donnant à sa photo l'effet d'un coup de pinceau. Elle m'a bien dupée!
