Exposition virtuelle de printemps

From his memories (images gleaned from the Internet, trips abroad, daily environment...), Yann Lacroix paints deliberately composite landscapes, inhabited by exotic vegetation, tropical greenhouses and swimming pools, made up of their own artificiality and empty of human presence but whose traces of a past or possible history bring sensuality and life: a reflection on heterotopias that is articulated through these places that are both phantasmagoriated and borrowed from the poetry of everyday life like allegories in the painting itself.

In Jonquille, Mireille Blanc explores the relation with reflection and materials penetration. To this end, she started from a photograph of a daffodil in a vase, located in front of an absorbent towel roll. By transforming the picture and playing on scale ratio, she focuses on the relation between the roll and the coloured vase, to lose the viewer in the image and blur the context.

The canvas set the pace to an approach that intends to obtain contrasts, strong and clear masses. Florin Stefan is an analyst painter; the subject is a sufficient pretext to rethink the landscape, with its resistances, delicacies and sharpness such as this vast area with a large plan, instruments scattered and intense background. It's a section of nature colonized with simplicity, which becomes admirable thanks to the exposure of so many distinctive elements.

In Fleur 1, Mireille Blanc expresses a particular interest in the flower pattern and transforms it in an indirect manner. From the back of canvas representing a rose, she skews all the more the image, and highlights this work of transformations in her painting. In this way, the artist conceives an artwork pointing a new reality, with the presence of black and white traces which blur the primary subject.

Chourouk Hriech visited Tel Aviv during her exhibition in the Centre for Contemporary Art in 2018. As often during her journey abroad, the artist drew a series entitled Tel Aviv's lines depicting her discoveries and exploration of the city in black and white. The brand-new buildings stand alongside the dilapidated ones, highlighting the continual transformation of the space. These drawings allude to Mediterranean architectures, as well as Bauhaus influences and the big Californian streets with the play of light and shade. In this architectural panorama, Chourouk Hriech emphasizes on the contrast between the hard stroke of the buildings and the disordered vegetation.

Birds are a recurrent pattern in Chourouk Hriech's work, symbolizing the spiritual and realisation of the drawing as a trajectory. Working exclusively in black and white, the artist chooses to draw these dazzling and phantasmatic animals in colour for the first time. Confronted to the loss of species, she intends to change her artistic habits to emphasize on the emergency of their situation.
