a touchy situation














































This is the new Pippi-drawing (150 x 230 cm) that I was working on and this is the first time that I'm a bit scared to post a work... I wonder what you'll think of it. I think I'm a bit scared to post it, because this drawing scares me. I did now 7 of these drawings and all of the Pippi's are doing - or are about to do something violent. But in the other drawings the girls don't look happy, they have no choice. And I think that is just it, that makes me uncomfortable with my own drawing: the smile on her face and the fun she is having, running around with that knife. It's that typical picture of a young girl running through the grass in the summer.

  3. Céline, this is a wonderful work! very well done!
    but among all the Pippi-drawing, this one really
    seems to be satisfied!
    but it is pure fiction ... :)

  5. I think it is a great piece, embracing a part of us human beings that exist as much as the nice parts in us. brilliant!
