Fayette 2019

Camilla d’Errico created ‘Fayette’ using oil on panel, capturing a subject that embodies hybridity and challenges conventional expectations. D’Errico herself draws upon both Western and Eastern artistic traditions, creating something new. Consider how ‘Fayette’ blends the innocence of childhood with the symbolism of mythical creatures. The juxtaposition of the character's large, expressive eyes and the floral patterned horns provokes questions about identity and perception. Is this a child dressed up, or something more? In the tradition of surrealism, the artist blurs boundaries between the real and the imagined, and the human and animal. Her work reflects how identity is never fixed, instead suggesting that it is fluid, and multifaceted. The pink color palette enhances the dreamlike quality of the piece, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of identity. How does ‘Fayette’ make you feel?
