Bardot - 120x110 cm | 47x43 in - One of a kind

Mixed media painting, acrylic on canvas
 
Dganit Blechner explores the iconic image of Brigitte Bardot through a striking pop-art interpretation, blending a classic portrait with bold, abstract elements. Bardot’s face, rendered in soft monochromatic tones, appears almost veiled behind layers of explosive colors—vivid pink, electric yellow, and cool blue—like a cinematic memory dissolving into a new reality.
Her gaze, direct and uncompromising, remains the focal point amidst the dynamic composition, while drips, splashes, and graffiti-like text evoke an urban, contemporary energy. The floral crown adorning her head hints at her status as a cultural muse, yet simultaneously blurs the line between fantasy and the real woman she once was.
Blechner employs techniques drawn from graffiti and collage, merging vintage imagery with digital color layers and textured processing that create a sense of movement and continuous transformation. This artwork is not just an homage to a past icon, but a commentary on the female image in visual culture—timeless, evolving, and sometimes dissolving into the vibrant noise of colors and symbols surrounding it.
