Working within defined parameters, Ivar's work initiating from a found image and Cecile from a composition, the two apply restrictions to themselves only to immediately turn around and look to find the most expressive way out. In those boundaries they each discover freedom from the inside, slowly, carefully, manipulating the materials they are given with…

5/28/21: CLAUDIO BONUGLIA // LAVA // LAVE // 2021
Claudio walks with the birds, the sun and the trees.He paints with the elements, fire and water, life eternal, equal.He catches the wind, the sun and the light.

5/24/21: GREGORY MONTREUIL // PAINTINGS // 2021
Greg paints, he makes paintings. Sometimes he plays with chance, sometimes he creates with calculation. This balance allows him to connect and explore. At times, he finds his place in deliberate decisions, working in the minutiae; at others he is entirely in the moment, responding to impulse, painting only with a thread dipped in paint, held dangling from above. Regardless…

Likewise, it is possible to be a creator, nothing less and nothing more, one who can exist in any material, shape or form. The refusal to be categorized and identified by one subject is becoming increasingly common. Why has the…
5/17/21: FLAVIA SISTIAGA // “JAMAS” // 2020
The center of Marseille and nearby surroundings have again changed, revived and thriving at a new level of materiality. In those areas things are different but not in the "Quartier Nord", the neighborhoods of the north, parts of town filled with crime but also with buildings that are enviable for their relationship to the sea.…

4/21/21: Marco ter Haar Romeny// Sans Titre // Untitled 2021
Né en Suède en 1974 Marco travaille dans la pénombre. Tout comme les néons qu'il crée, il reste discret puis rayonne lorsqu'il est mis sous tension. C'est étrange à quel point les créations des gens leur ressemblent; nous sommes après tout attirés par ce que nous sommes.L'œuvre est humble mais pleine d'énergie, d'éclat et de…
