Having trouble shaking off the sunny weekend? We’ve got just the thing for you : French painter Gérard Schlosser‘s work rings like an ode to sun-drenched laziness. His acrylic paintings, based on personal photos, depict a series of girls lounging in the sun in various states of undress – never sleazily – giving off that perfect summer afternoon feeling of warm content. The French have the ultimate word for it : “lézarder”, meaning soaking up the rays like a lizard. We can almost feel the sun on our skin…
