Le Moulin De La Galette (Recreation)

Concept Note

Le Moulin de la Galette is a recreation of French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. As I was inspired by the painting which depicts a typical Sunday afternoon at the original Moulin de Gallate in the district of Montmartre in Paris. In the late 19th-century working class, Parisian would dress up and spend their time dancing, drinking, and eating 'Galettes' in the evening, and so I tried to capture the glimpse and recreate it in my version, Where the figures are deformed and reconstructed in a style which has not seen before. Painted in Impasto and Al- prima technique giving me gestural brushwork. Which also gives a creamy surface to the painting.
