Romain Slocombe, French painter and photographer with a penchant for Japanese women with multiple complex fractures of every bone in their frail bodies, encased in plaster casts, heavy bandages, with their arms in slings and with band-aids. This book is an essential collection of SlocombeŽs rare paintings (acryl and guache on paper and wood). YouŽll witness the purist definition of the slocombe aesthetic: the patented blue tile backgrounds and supplementary collage type elements invoke an intriguing "cutting edge art" context. The book includes an extensive biographic introduction (bi-lingual English/German), bibliography, chronology notes, various b/w photos and illustrations. Book: soft cover, 15OO copies, 72 pages,
22x27 cm, 30 color paintings
