Back in Betsukai-chō 別海町

| Florence EMA Blanchard

So I finally went back to Japan again after a mere 9 years went by since I was there last. This time I was painting a big mural in Betsukai/別海町 Hokkaido and visiting my good friend Mika and her family. Mika has been a tremendous help with organizing everything. Weather was really hot and we had to paint at the end of the day when the sun starts going down. The rest of the time was just about eating amazing food, tasting sake and hanging out with the cat.
It was just amazing.

First day was all about finding a solution to get to the top.

Chicken Dust – a new mural in Bushwick

| Florence EMA Blanchard

I just came back from New York where I worked on a few different projects. Despite the blazing heat I managed to reclaim an old wall I had painted in 2007 in Bushwick on Humbolt street. Special thanks to Ed and the people from Enrique Mini Market for helping out! x

INTERSECTION an new exhibition at B&B Gallery

| Florence EMA Blanchard
INTERSECTION 
An exhibition of new works by Jonathan Wilkinson &
Florence Blanchard / October 17th – November 3rd B&B are pleased to announce our latest exhibition, a collaboration between Jonathan Wilkinson (UK) and Florence Blanchard (FR) titled INTERSECTION.The show celebrates common interests and explores similarities between their studio practices, executed with their own individual style, approach and personality. Wilkinson explains – “We both work from found images and fragments of imagery which depict the modern built environment, as well vehicles and objects that inhabit such a landscape.” Blanchard agrees – “Our artworks have independently evolved towards painting dreamy situations inspired by our own experiences, tinted with an uncertainty of what the future holds. INTERSECTION felt like the perfect outlet to bring our individual world’s together as a way of creating a broader narrative based on these shared themes.” Iconic structures, vehicles and architecture sit alongside animals and abstract forms inhabiting an imagined world, situated somewhere between an American film set and a science-fiction comic book based in suburban Yorkshire. We look forward to seeing you there.
