Painting Style

Provosty is well-known for her oil painting on linen. By using monochromatic shades of color, she often creates schemes that appear aesthetically simple but contain depths of field. She often applies colors in glossy and matte finishes of paint to highlight this effect, which helps to draw viewers into and across the works’ layers.
Provosty also utilizes various media in her works. In the 20016 exhibition at Nathalie Karg Gallery in New York, Provosty created an expanded multi-sensory experience by manipulating colors at the far reach of the spectrum and the surfaces that vibrate and disappear.

Exhibitions

Provosty's paintings have been exhibited all over the world, and her works are included in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Colby Museum of Art, the Farnsworth Museum, and the Portland Museum of Art.
