What is a painting?
Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism. Only love can touch and hold them and be fair to them.- Rainer Maria Rilke A painting is far more than pigment on a surface; it is a living dialogue between the artist and...
Rose Wylie
"Its subject, with combo of a found-photograph and a chance connecton-of-pose with Rodin’s Small Dancers, was the direct outcome of extra, (and rambling), web-view-time since ‘isolation’.” —Rose Wylie on Highschool Cheerleaders, 2020 Read more here.
Geneviève Asse
Dans une quête de la transparence, Geneviève Asse module le bleu. Entre l'Île Saint-Louis à Paris et l'Île aux moines en Bretagne, la peinture pour elle est une cheminement du silence et l'intériorité qui s'inspire beaucoup de l'Océan. Amie de Beckett et de Matisse,...

Martin Le Chevallier
Parallèlement, Martin Le Chevallier réalise des films, des sortes de fictions/concepts au ton inimitable, drôle, décalé et toujours pertinent, entre autre personnifié par l’excellent Gaëtan Vourc’h, l’acteur que l’on retrouve aussi bien dans L’an 2008, une fable...

Louis Cane
Ce motif millénaire, il le fend par le milieu. On n'est pas pour rien disciple de Chiang-Tzu ! Et des hémi-femmes qui en découlent il se sert pour river son clou au métal estoffié : à sculpteur cultivé femmes culturistes. C'est là bien sûr qu'il se montre le moins...

Photography is dead. That news may come as a surprise, since obituaries about art tend to be written about painting. Invented in the 1830s, photo-graphy is still in its infancy as an art form compared to the centuries-old medium of painting. Despite inventions like...
Lee Bae
Ces oeuvres rappellent le grand intérêt que Lee Bae porte à la matière et à la façon, lente, de la travailler. Elles remettent en avant une quête spirituelle et une dimension du temps omniprésentes dans sa démarche: le temps inhérent à l’histoire même du charbon de...
Xinyi Cheng
Xinyi Cheng surprend par ses visions doucement perverses de la masculinité occidentale. Et incarne par extension la relation pacifiée à l’appropriation culturelle d’une nouvelle génération d’artistes chinois à la culture visuelle décloisonnée. - Ingrid Luquet-Gad See...
