\"Lizzie
\nJONATHAN DELACHAUX was born in Motiers, Switzerland in 1976. He studied at the Ecole superieure d’arts visuels, Geneva. He currently lives and works in Geneva. <\/p>\n

\"Lizzie
\nJONATHAN DELACHAUX. no, your eyes do not deceive you.
\nboth Lizzie’s and Jonathan’s work have heavy-duty, as in explicit, graphic references to the most primal aspects of human-hood. His work is based on life-size puppets which he hand builds. He then paints from them, using them as models, onto plastic film, in reverse, and then transfers that image onto canvas.
\nThe result is an acrylic painting with an uncannily flat, photographic surface.<\/p>\n

\"Lizzie
\nLIZZIE FITCH, ‘FAMILY – WALKING’, 2008. multi-media.
\nLizzie uses hand-made puppets, in this piece, as well. but in a 3-D form, and as the primary vehicle.
\nIronically although she uses many piececs of reality, her ‘people’ are not photographic, but collaged !!
\nas in, truly – patchwork !!<\/p>\n
