Annette Bezor's recent body of work 'Precious Luck' was reveiwed by Sara Sweet for Artist Profile Issue #35.
"Annette Bezor has been painting since the 1980s and during this time she has produced large-scale works that showcase the faces of many women. Some of her subjects are recognisably famous and they can be seen depicted in moments of heightened beauty and momentary elevation. The transfixing pose of each subject finds its way through the overlays of erosion, rainbow colour blocks and circular gold leaf impressions. The techniques applied allow the viewer to peer through the slightly obscuring markings to see the subjects at face value." Sara Sweet
