Evelyne Axell, a pioneer of European pop art, abandoned her acting career in 1963 to fully embrace painting, guided by the advice of Magritte. Inspired by New York creators like Jim Dine and Andy Warhol, she ventured into pop art, boldly experimenting with plastic materials to create works that played with reliefs and transparencies. Her art, vibrant with audacious sensuality, reflects the social and political movements of the 60s, particularly women's sexual liberation. Axell used her own body as a primary means of expression, infusing her works with provocative eroticism. In 1966, her series "Érotomobiles" earned her official recognition, and by 1967, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels dedicated a solo exhibition to her. Her work was celebrated by art critic Pierre Restany, who compared her to artists like Niki de Saint Phalle. She explored male eroticism through the myth of Tarzan in 1972, before her life and promising career were tragically cut short by a car accident at the age of 37. Axell remains an iconic figure in pop art, having defied conventions to express a boldly feminist vision of art.
