My eight years (Mes huit ans)

This work by Charlotte Gagnon depicts a child from three different angles: two from the back, one from the front, and one from the side. The figures are painted in neutral, earthy tones—primarily gray, beige, and white—with a subtle touch of red on the ground. The style is semi-abstract, blending blurred contours with simplified forms. The composition evokes an introspective and enigmatic atmosphere, reinforced by the gentle, distant expression on the central face. The visible texture of the paint adds a tactile dimension to the piece, highlighting the artist’s gestural process.
