The intention behind "Pièce par pièce" is to encourage a dialogue between the work of the artists from the gallery.
The psychological portraits of our urban society made by Manoly and K-Lilystreet confront Jafet Blanch's dreamlike paintings, weaving a link between intimacy and society. But also representation and imaginary.
Tomadee explores the same idea. His painting reflects a benevolent familiarity, a microcosm full of colors, where contradictions are merging to become a joyful chaos. With his artwork "Discordances", the artist CBTH draws a colorful universe where childish figures are next to very adult anxieties.
Elsewhere, the industrialized cities photographed by Jules Viera are in opposition to Boris Wilensky desertic and natural ones. Landscape versus landscape. Both of the photographers reveal a geographical area that incarne their own metaphysical vision of the world.
Philippe Charlot's photographs seem to be a synthese of their point of views. His artworks focus on the absence of the individuals, the memory of their presences. Philippe Charlot explores the drama of human loneliness even if we all share the same world.
The dialogue embarked upon by these three artists questions how territory and temporality are seen.
Gregory Hayes continues this research: giving substance to the illusion through a pointillist composition, created by shapes and colors. A form of poetic abstract is thus
operated by the harmonious drops of paint that the painter juxtaposes on his canvas. They express a delicacy without temporality, a visual dream acting as much on the eye as on the intellect.
Francisco Rangel's artwork is in opposition with Hayes's reflexion on the world. His gold leaf-plated quadriptych spurs reflection on our day-to-day lives and the passing of time. The brief of this artwork is to grasp the confusion on our inability to control.
"Big bang" by Victoir Haïm is the final point of this exhibition. A final query point.
The artists offer us their unique vision of the world and a reflexion on our place in it.
