About the Artist
Ione Rucquoi&#;s striking artwork is sometimes uncomfortable and disarming; challenging the viewer/potential buyer and probing at our own uneasiness.
The images centre on women, their emotions, relationships, rites of passage and feminine psychology. She is inspired by beauty, &#;the beast within&#;, preconceptions and misconceptions.
Each image is captured through photography, but Ione doesn&#;t see herself as a photographer. She layers the images by painting the background, painting and dressing the model — including make-up, prosthetics, costume and props — as though her subject is a character on a stage.
The protagonists of her artwork are often exaggerated, distorted and surreal. Some images evolve quickly, but other ideas remain floating in her subconscious until she&#;s ready to express them through art.
Ione explains: &#;A lot of my work is autobiographical. It&#;s not the sort of work I can just churn out. It&#;s sometimes difficult with people breathing down your neck asking you to produce more work.&#;
