In her recent body of work, Andrea Fourchy has focused on the same parade of female cultural figures – Charlotte Rampling, Isabelle Hupert, Divine, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Anjelica Huston. She depicts this range of archetypes in a variety of painterly styles, and her repetition of the images gives them an air of devotion, if not obsession. They are painted in silhouette with flat shadows behind them – seen here in Sex Girl, Sad Girl, Party Girl, Goth Girl, and Working Girl – as if to acknowledge that their roles as both stereotypes and iconoclasts comes entirely from the screen. Fourchy has participated in group exhibitions at Doyers Street, New York; Greene Naftali, New York; Maria Bernheim, Zurich; Svetlana, New York; and Gaudel de Stampa, Paris.
