Francien Krieg: Questioning the common beauty ideal

Contributor

by Nini Baseema in New Art on Monday 8 November 2010

Francien Krieg is a German artist currently living in Den Haag. Her works are a celebration of the human body in all its forms. In a both ethereal and grotesque way, she likes to question and ridicule the common beauty image in society, with motifs such as obese or aged bodies, observed from unusual perspectives.
