EDITORS COMMENTS
Pappillion - A Timeless Portrait in Yellow Amidst the pages of a February volume of a vintage magazine from circa 1915, an unassuming yet captivating artwork emerges, winning the hearts and the £10 prize in the Colour competition. This exquisite portrait painting, now known as 'Pappillion,' showcases an enigmatic woman standing proudly upon a black and white tiled floor. The woman in the portrait wears a distinctive, vibrant yellow dress that not only pops against the monochrome background but also transports us to a bygone era. Her expression is serene, her posture confident, and her gaze unwavering. The artist's skillful use of color and brushstrokes brings the painting to life, capturing the essence of a woman who defies the ordinary. The intricate black and white tiled floor adds depth and texture to the image, providing a stark contrast to the woman's yellow attire. The overall effect is one of timeless beauty and elegance, a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium. 'Pappillion' is more than just a painting; it is a window into the past, a reminder of a time when art and creativity held a special place in society. This enchanting portrait continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to ponder the story behind the woman in the yellow dress and the artist who brought her to life.
