"Games of slaughter"
In 1987, Isabelle Bonzom painted an ensemble of 30 paintings on the theme of dolls, depiction of the disturbing coexistence of wildness and innocence in childhood. The artist says "I just knew I wanted to paint human beings together. At that time, I couldn't afford professional models so I used dolls which also posed longer ... Between what I had (and still have) in mind and the result, there is the unconscious and the painting which plays its important role and leads me to unexpected paths."
