L’animus (the end) is my absolute favorite piece though all of your work is exceptional. I’ve been trying to find a way to get a poster of it or something but no luck yet. I love your work so much.
Mœbius + Virgil Finlay (+ Caza) = Appolonia SaintClair.
Great masters, great work. And female erotism is always far more interesting than male’s one.
Thank you.
CRITIVS says: A most sophisticated Artist, and very intelligent. Not vulgar, but vital, very vital: Seduction, the creative and regenerative weapon of woman, the most mysterious world in the universe. An artist already on the level of deepening an Albrecht Dürer or a Sabin Bălașa or a Tudor Bălașa. Obviously each in her own way. The mind races to Jacques Prévert and his “C’était l’été”, stellarly far removed from the false prudery of planetary conformity.
You, Apollonia, already know that as an ageing artist I am overawed by your sheer talent, your line, the rich severity of black and white, the gut-searing fire of your eroticism. People have compared your style to that of Moebius and Manara, but for me your work echoes the earlier work of the wood-engravers and wood-cutters, of people like the American Lynd Ward, the artists who worked before the dawn of comics, the artists who created “novels without words”.
Who you actually are seems irrelevant. Your touch is so assured, your composition so beautifully balanced, and the atmosphere of your art is sensual, sexual but never obscene, never crassly pornographic. I could write endlessly in admiration of a skill so far beyond my reach.
I grew up in a house of painters and paintings, the smell of turpentine and linseed oil, printing ink and watercolour, plasticine and lino-cutting. More than 20 years of life-drawing left me with an eye for felicitous graphic skill. And this is where your work really shines, the wonderful flow of the forms. You avoid, by some mysterious magic, falling into the traps of stiffness or rigidity. Oh Apollonia, if I had the ability, this would be a love-song. As it is, many hours disappear exploring new avenues of your work
Please let Project M manifest as a buyable book in the near future, complete with the quatrains and their previous prose paragraphs.
