On the occasion of Leonardo Cinquecento , Francois Pelletier will be reproducing the portrait of Lucrezia Crivelli, one of Leonardo’s portraits hanging in Paris, on the grounds of the University Centre Galleria. The artist will be using pavement art pastel techniques onto a specially prepared canvas. These unconventional pastel techniques allow the artist to saturate the surface with pigments and different textures in an attempt to capture da Vinci’s unique sfumato and chiaroscuro. The public is invited to follow the progress between September 18th and 20th at the University Centre Galleria as the artist works live, applying and blending every color by hand.
