COME ONE AND ALL

the press clip read

Singer, performer, actress, director, songwriter, visual artist and watercolorist, France de Griesse is a polymorphic artist who invites viewers into her realm of dreams, poetry and violence.

Strongly influenced in her early youth by punk culture, France embraces a “do-it-yourself” mentality, shrugging off convention in her theater, music and drawing to create her signature style “Romantic Punk” .

Her lil rebellious creatures, tormented souls softened by a pale wash of watercolors give France’s work the feeling of a child’s drawing: their asymmetries and mixing of different dimensions. These visual elements construct her vision of a cruel and wonderful dreamscape where anything is possible, like that of Alice in Wonderland.

Embarking on a journey of pain, wonder and power, “The Cycle of Crowns” explores the cycle of milestones in the life of an artist.
