Francotte’s emotional world percolates into the work she creates. In the titular series of the exhibition, My Makeup is Wrong, portraits appear as half expressions of a personhood. With closed eyes and tight lips, they remain caught in a chokehold of emotions, as they struggle with the weight of emotions. The frailty of their spirit effuses through the pale tones, held together by thick lines of red and black.
