Hardly anyone will be surprised to see Robin Hood, King Arthur, gnome, elf or hobbit on the street. RPGs and historical simulations are fun and still amazing. Role-playing is not a game, but a Canadian artist is fond of painting Edith Lebeau, turning their models into characters of myths, legends, beliefs and legends. As a child, Edith LeBeau adored tales of superheroes and villains, and we can see the imprint this childhood hobby left on her work. The artist paints women as strong and warlike, real Amazons - even on this side of the screen, one can feel the energy that comes from them. "Be it superheroes or villains, nymphs or goddesses, the main thing in them is the look. It is the look that tells the viewer who exactly is in front of him, what is in his mind and heart," Edith says about her portraits.
By the way, very often viewers themselves come up with stories for one or another of the artist's paintings. Due to the fact that the author's concept of the work is blurred, it encourages the audience to create it on their own, this concept. “I like to see how people peer into my works, how they discuss with each other what exactly is depicted on them. For the public, this is much more interesting than if I immediately opened the cards in front of them,” the artist believes.
Edith Lebeau's work often draws on Greek, Roman and Celtic mythology, as well as fantasy films and fairy tales. You can see the entire series of works on the artist's website.
