Description of the exhibition:

Over time, contemporary architecture, an essential factor in urban planning, has developed a more aesthetic and graphic appearence.

Outlines, perspectives and the diversity of materials used (glass, concrete, metal, wood) are all sources of inspiration for my photoraphic work.

An essential element of my compositions is a constant human presence within an urban environment, highlighting life in motion inside a static space.

What do you see? Take your time, let your imagination wander beyond what your eyes see. Walking along the city streets you notice the doors, big and smalls, modern and old, simple and decorated, coloured or not. Are these just doors? Or they embrace the history of the city and many generations of inhabitants living behind them, unaware that at this exact moment you stay and gaze at their doors and feel the pace and breath of their lives. Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Antwerp … Doors as living city faces. ... Read more »

Each of my paintings, executed in modern style, contains traditional elements, such as patterns, ornaments, and kelagai. I like to mix ancient and modern to produce an original and interesting synthesis. One of my favourite subjects I often refer to is the theme of wise men and shamans, shrouded in mysticism. All the heroes I create are fictitious, but I know that the people depicted in them lived a righteous life, and at the end of the path knew wisdom and realized the meaning of life.

Proposed exhibition Title : “This is the End” Artist: Jon Kraja , Albanian ( b. 1970) My Painting – My Perfume : my painting is an emotional load that pours over canvas, it’s a shiver frozen in time. My painting never ends as long as I’m alive. She is my life charged with meaning and misunderstanding, it is my unconscious that astonishes me with its instinct. She is my penance, she is the string that keeps tied my heaven and hell. It is love and not everyone can see it.” — Kraja

Après avoir travaillé le portrait en teintes chaudes, sous diverses formes et divers supports, bois, toiles, papiers, Sophie Richard a voulu explorer un autre univers, froid, celui de la mer. Pour exploiter de façon optimale cette impression, elle utilise le métal comme support. Ses propriétés fluctuantes permettent de faire varier la lumière et les reflets, en fonction de l’angle de vue, comme dans le monde marin.

Le Flexo : un personnage neutre, à la silhouette unique, se voulant le support de ses recherches sur les attitudes et le mouvement. Zed estime en effet “qu’il est possible de retranscrire toutes les émotions, de tout dire, juste à travers une gestuelle”. Par ses postures variées, le Flexo incarne son désir de saisie du multiple, du geste dans sa fluidité : “Tour à tour amoureux, contemplateur, audacieux ou insolent, chaque Flexo est un reflet de nous”.

As author of the works titled as PROMENADE, I felt entitled to get away from my previous art expression. Impulsively adding recognizable elements and faces, I went for a Promenade or a walk through the environment which gave me so much of a pleasure. Searching for the art within, I always relate my art expression in parallel with the environment. The subject matter of this selection of works of art is a ‘’walk through life stories.’’ I always get inspired by everyday life’s habits, and ... Read more »

DESCRIPTION DES ŒUVRES

Il est un atelier, non loin de la grange de Meslay près de Tours, ou vit un artiste appareillé de pinceaux et teintes fluos, il y règne un monde d’images mouvantes, entrelacements de formes et contre-formes, de détails hétéroclites se superposant sur des toiles en un collage « harmonique », Êtres et objets divers tournoient, transposés dans des espaces labyrinthiques et des symboles chamarrées, échos d'une sphère imaginaire, Et la peinture s'anime, ...

This photographic exposition highlights the smallness of the human being faced with the immoderation of his creation, captured during one of my trips to Manhattan, New York. The use of black and white accentuates the lines, details, and add some strength to the photos. It was taken at the Ultra Wide Angle, on a Canon 5d Mark III full frame camera.

A match made in jewelry: two friends who share the same passion that of working with polymer dough to create jewellery of such brightness and joyfulness that you cannot fail to feel the pleasure and enjoyment Chantal and Véronique get from their creation. Indeed, having fun creating this jewellery is the very essence of this range, bright and with infinitely variable colours. Chantal’s inspiration comes simply from everything that catches her eye, whether in her garden in Provence, her close ... Read more »

« Le bestiaire de Christiane frappe par son originalité. Il ne ressemble pas à celui de Guillaume Apollinaire, inspiré des toiles de Picasso, encore moins à celui de la cathédrale de Strasbourg, tout de pierres roses. En quelques traits colorés et sûrs, Christiane suggère l’attitude, la course ou la fuite de ses modèles animaux, en fait leur vie tout simplement. Ils n’ont pas d’épaisseur physique, tracés sur des calques, mais une présence bien réelle, une épaisseur bien « vivante ... Read more »

Mechthild Wallrath-Karcher: Je suis familiarisée depuis de longues années au travail avec l’argile. L’homme est au centre de mes intérêts artistiques. C’est dans le corps humain, torse ou membre, en mouvement ou au repos, que je trouve les formes d’expression des émotions. Le travail avec les mains, le façonnage et la conception, la concrétisation d’une idée sous une forme plastique, constituent pour moi à la fois une motivation et un défi à relever. La technique la plus passionnante ... Read more »

The title of the exhibition perfectly shows what I think is the most important in my work and in art generally. Nature and imagination – these two realities – the outside, objective one and the artist's inside, intimate world, they penetrate each other and appear in my paintings with various intensity. Sometimes the imagination dominates, as in the paintings of the series "The images of space", sometimes nature, when I paint real landscapes, admiring the play of light on the clouds, trees ...

Les choses ne se passent jamais comme prévu ! Mais ce sont ces petits accidents et surprises qui, lorsqu’ils ne mettent pas tout par terre, donnent au dessin son côté vivant et léger. Ce sont ces imprévus que j’aime essayer d’attraper quand je peins et qui, en plus du plaisir très direct et concret d’étaler et mélanger les couleurs sur la toile, me donne envie de recommencer sans cesse. Ces œuvres ont été faites d’après photos ou peintures dont le thème me touche. Cela me ... Read more »

Présentation du travail de la céramiste Karine Goldberg autour d'un choix de céramiques contemporaines, conçues, façonnées, décorées et cuites dans son atelier à Pantin (93).

Je travaille essentiellement sur textile ou sur un papier en fibre de coton recyclé, qui se rapproche du textile, que je prépare à la gouache, à l’aquarelle, à l’encre ou à l’acrylique. Broder est un geste, un rituel qui ancre dans le temps présent tout en ouvrant la porte à la rêverie. C’est avec l’aiguille que je rassemble et que je construis et c’est avec le fil que je donne du corps à l’histoire qui veut être dite.
