I was asked to write a  review of Edwige Fouvry's show at the Dolby Chadwick Gallery (SF, CA).

Edwige Fouvry's work at Dolby Chadwick is very present. When you see her paintings in person, there's a softer clarity than one might perceive when looking at the digital images. The paint seems more "harmonious" in person. In either case, there's a strong sense of personality-- both hers and those of her subjects. Her line, the presence of her brush, has a quite open feeling to it. Yet her figures exist in seemingly tight or closed, almost suffocating space. I am particularly charmed by the little seascapes which have an immediacy to them. It is quite nice to meet her; she looks particularly lovely sporting a "madder lake deep"-colored scarf, an ever-present signature color in her figures.
