How can we speak about abstract art while this movement sends us to the XXe century ? However, for the young generation of artists, abstract art seems to be back again,\u00a0 like the\u00a0 figurative painting which has known since a couple of years a reappropriation of the classical art master’s codes. This exhibition presented by the Robet Dantec Gallery is presenting artist\u2019s works essentially on paper, due of the desire to grasp the abstraction of the XX century by reinvented it. Some works come from concret art, some others are typically lyrics. The colors, the tempera, the acrylic, the textile impression, the volume. Even sometimes can appear a form we think to identify, a par\u00e9idolia\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ga\u00ebl Darras<\/strong> By taking the brick pattern, a tirelessly repeated unit, Ga\u00ebl Darras is building architecture spaces with a minimalist style, by using watercolor. His buildings, disinvested of every function, are destitute of any precise spatial or temporal context – as they bring us to an old antiquity, they can also remind us of our contemporary masonries. They are floating in the white matrix of paper whose sides are virgins, like virtual volumes, or mirages. These constructions are not livable or penetrable. They\u00a0 show as much as they hide, they push our look to search out beyond what we see. Their frontiers bring us back to our intimity, like \u201cinterior temples\u201d whose entrance door is kept secret.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ilhem Ellouze<\/strong> The Ilhem Ellouze\u2019s starting point of her process is the artistic traditions of her own muslim and arabic culture, within the spirit of occidental contemporary art. The repetition and the accumulation of her \u201cmodules\u201d do not fill an aesthetic function but are looking for the efficiency of the concept : the representation of the individual inside the human crowd. Pictorial or sculptural, her work represents itself as an accumulation of signs which are saturating the space. The repeating modules are archetypes themselves : they symbolize the human form by simplifying and schematizing it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bastien Faudon<\/strong> Bastien Faudon is entertaining a singular and diverse relation with drawing, that he uses as a medium of predilection. Draws of scientific researchers, preparatory draws, maps made for travels or explorations are all into questioning devices about the nature of the documents and the statute of the drawing in the exhibition\u2019s space. […]. He is inspired by animal documentaries and enjoys diverting them. By doing that, he proposes a coexistence between science and art to question the relation that we entertain with the environment, switching between the infinitely big and the infinitely small. He is also questioning the human place and its representation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aur\u00e9lien Finance<\/strong> Dramatized, the work of Aur\u00e9lien Finance is built on absurd et make up stories, inspired by reality, myths or tales. Whether they are performances within he is playing himself or creations with color forms, his artwork is diverting the textile world with a deconstruction of traditional codes. He is practicing ancestral expertises to experiment the borders in a ludic approach with a lot of humor and poetry. He is into embroidery, hook and knitting mostly for their performative aspect, repetitive and cathartic. Those creations become transitional objects and make alive imaginary people, organic identities, rescaped growths of a forgotten memory\u2026 His dyslexia is assumed in his work like an asset. It opens the thought with images who find their meaning in their own globality.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Juliette Jouannais<\/strong> Juliette Jouannais is sculpting color. It is how the journalist and art critic Harry Bellet titled his article published in Le Monde in 2020, for the personal exhibition of the artist at the Fernet Branca Fondation (Saint-Louis). Indeed, the delicately lace cutted papers, pinned in scroll on the wall or on the back of the frame are forgotten by the contagious color which takes all the white surfaces. The establishment is a very delicate operation, so delicate that the artist does not let someone else do it. \u201cGoing from the plan to the volume, her landforms are are meandering in a slender movement where the trait is fusioning to the form and to the plan, to bring forth the emotion of the world, that would be the light of the vision\u201d (Philippe Cyroulnik, art critic).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Arthur Lambert<\/strong> Arthur Lambert is putting under the spotlight the transformed states of nature and human beings. In an incessant quest that convocs each time the thought and the material, he invites us to a fantastic trip in his coded and secret language. As a painter who collaborated with the Scottish artist Richard Wright (Turner Prise 2009), he is progressively reporting his attention on watercolor and disappearance\/dissolution of the human figure. From painting, he kept the taste of color, the vibration of lines and forms, while intervening more and more on the abstract and optical dimension of his artworks. The use of paper allows him to affirm the materiality of drawing by permute, sometimes, the different techniques and mediums : gouache, golden leaf, painting on photography and japanese paper. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Isabelle Vorle<\/strong> In her watercolor and ink\u2019s drawings, Isabelle Vorle is experimenting as a laboratory researcher. She applies the puddle on her paper, adds some color, precisely dosed. It happens to her sometimes to manipulate and raise the paper to bring to the liquid draw a form. This process is closer to haptic research than visual research. Her Agates serie has been mostly accomplished on \u201cstone paper\u201d, a paper without vegetal fibers, only composed with mineral powder. Extremely smooth, it allows the paper to slide. One dried, it evokes a veil of color crossed by the light. Isabelle Vorle also makes experimental movies. Her last film, \u201cStone Eve\u201d (2020) was primed in many international festivals.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]T\u00e9l\u00e9charger le catalogue de l’e<\/span>xposition<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”pink”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#f2f2f2″ css=”.vc_custom_1563722577019{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”-1″ item=”masonryGrid_SlideFromLeft” grid_id=”vc_gid:1710155044648-89dbb1bb2375f67896237f658f0e09fd-8″ taxonomies=”4″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" from November 16th 2023 to January 13th 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4361,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[36],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4442"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4442"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4445,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4442\/revisions\/4445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerierobetdantec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
