Warm my palms. Françoise Longet.

Artists ranging from prehistoric in the Lascaux caves to modern ones like Jasper Johns in New York in the 1960s have discovered that their hand is more than a tool—it is an object. Françoise Longet, a

young artist from France, demonstrates the same discovery by incorporating photographs and hand drawings into intricate and otherwise abstract paintings. The palette, restrained in some works,

explodes in colour in others. On the canvases, images of hands coexist with photographs, notes, drawings made in childhood and other documents from her personal archive, turning the picture into a

visual diary.
