Mantis Love Story


Francine Zhang

Medium: India Ink, Gesso, Pastel and Acrylic on White Paper
Size: 166 x 46 inches
Year: 2024

Inspired by the story of the female praying mantis consuming the male 
during pregnancy, this piece builds a fading, sky-weeping sense of deathly romance through layers of charcoal and a wash of diluted gesso. The female’s blue claws, the only colored element, gradually approach the male, 
culminating in the act of removing his head.
