Paris is a grey city; overcast skies, grey cobbled streets, grey Haussmannien buildings. The prevalence of grey acts as the perfect foil for a small proportion of bright color. Grey makes colors sing.
It’s this bright contrast that makes Paris the perfect subject for Carol Gillott and her delightful watercolors of everyday Parisian scenes, from les boulangeries to les lèche-vitrines.
"For me, Paris’ heart and soul is revealed at street level by its shop facades. I find just as much glamour and mystery in the quotidien shoe repair shop or fruit monger as the grand haute couture maison." - Carol Gillott
