♥ Provençale N& B ♥ N° 236 (2017) Painting by Françoise Lanfroy-Rancurel

Françoise passed away in Marseille on September 21, 2022.

"My paintings are the frank expression of myself"

I was born in black Africa to a family originally from Marseille where I lived for more than 12 years as well as around twenty years in New Caledonia, which forged my pictorial ideal.

From my earliest childhood, pencil in hand, I have had this passion for drawing, for colors, and my roots accompany me in my artistic journey with a predominant place for "The Woman", in all its facets, on a daily basis and in a dreamlike way imbued with poetry (Cf my series "AFRICA", my "PETITES AFRICAINES" and my "PROVENCALES")
I I am inspired by photos, nature, images, day and night visions, and my emotions do the rest!

My colors, whatever the medium used, are always very pigmented (watercolor, ink, acrylic, charcoal, red chalk, pastel, mixed techniques, etc.)
I also try my hand at collage of various materials.
Under a certain influence of Impressionism and especially the Fauve period with its "bright" colors!
I exhibit regularly and each time I have an immense and gratifying pleasure to be able to share my passion with my visitors.

My works travel throughout France, New Caledonia and New Zealand.
I created the association "Françoise Rancurel" in order to transmit my passion for art in workshops for children.

Over time, drawing, painting, and playing with colors became obvious to me.
Since 2009, I have met many visitors at exhibitions, encounters that encourage and nourish me.
My paintings illuminate interiors in France and abroad.
Since 1990, I have lived and worked in Marseille.

Each work is unique, signed and countersigned on the back of each canvas, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
