Original ▷ Iconic Beauty, Brigitte Bardot by Patrick Cornée, 2025 | Charcoal Painting

This captivating work features a stylised black-and-white portrait of Brigitte Bardot in profile, enhanced by an explosion of bright, dynamic colours. The contrast between the black and white and the multi-coloured splashes creates a striking visual tension, perhaps symbolising the duality between simplicity and complexity. The captions ‘ICON BEAUTY’ and ‘Initials B.B.’ add an iconic dimension, suggesting a tribute to a famous and timeless figure. The graphic treatment of the hair, with undulating, flowing lines, extends the texture throughout the painting, reinforcing the idea of movement and energy. The juxtaposition of classic elegance with modern elements of street art makes this piece a bold and irreverent statement. The work’s dynamism is striking, blending tradition and contemporaneity with unrivalled artistic daring.
