Anglo-French artist Alice Anderson takes a stab at interpreting the classic fairy tale Rapunzel for the gallery above. With waves and waves of glorious golden tresses, Alice Anderson shows us a modern view of Rapunzel.
The waterfall of cascading hair from a stout window near the ceiling or the small, pale face of Rapunzel herself in the corner as she’s drowning in her bronze gold locks are all revamped depictions of this old fable. I wonder if her prince could swim through this mess? Maybe in this modernized version, Rapunzel’s prince is barber.
