The works seem to suggest that if Broquaire is questioning our perception of reality, it would be the virtual and the material worlds.

|
|
|

“Les Aimants” retraces the evolution and emergence of the sense of infant desire. The photographs used as the basis for the various series are portraits of the artist between the ages of two and thirteen, that evoke memories of her sexual awakening.

In his quest for a point of balance that might extract him from gravity, Jean-Baptiste Caron investigates the physical or mechanical laws relating to the notions of gravity. With the help of a vocabulary that evokes the elusive shift from one state to another, he offers a universe where the slightest flaw, the smallest grain of sand shakes our certainties.

Philippe Cognée has spent twenty years exploring the possibilities of thinning away the image. He has developed a very specific technique based on a combination of photography and the visual effect created by melting wax painting on canvas. Urban architecture, aerial views, supermarkets are just a few of the themes that capture his imagination.
|
Templon Gallery
|
|
|
(French only) Claire-Jeanne Jézéquel à travers ses dernières œuvres donne à voir et à penser un engagement singulier du questionnement de la sculpture à travers le dessin ou l’esquisse en passant par l’évocation de la peinture à travers la couleur.
|
Jean Fournier Gallery
|
|
|
Marie Voignier’s films reveal a flitting sensation that acts inside uncomplicated boundaries, which falls in with "Cinéma du Réel": the film director let herself go with the flow and shows that she is the first spectator. The heart of the film remains hidden, one static shot after the other — CB.
|
Marcelle Alix Gallery
|
|
|
(French only) « Ricochet » se réalise en oblique, un choix de dessins parfois décalé dont l’angle de vue n’est pas frontal. Le fou avance en diagonale, la gorgone se combat sans être regardée dans les yeux, l’œil jette un regard dans le rétroviseur par anticipation… Il s’agit dans cette exposition de faire l’éloge du détour.
|
Galerie municipale Jean-Collet
|
|
|
The work of Noël Cuin is situated at the juncture of painting, installation and sculpture. This exhibition shows new works by the artist—all exhibited for the first time in Paris—comprising works of small and medium format mixing ’fixed under glass’, photographs, drawings and in situ installations.

L’art est un mirage utile
À propos du travail de Michelangelo Penso
“…tant il est vrai qu’il paraît difficile, en certaines matières, de ne point parler de tout à l’occasion de quelque chose….”
Gaston de Pawlowski
Michelangelo Penso est un artiste discret, pour ne pas dire secret. Même au sein du mon…

Alberta Pane Gallery
|
|
|
(French only) David Lefebvre peint des images prélevées au départ dans le flux des images de la vie quotidienne, souvent médiocres en qualité et d’apparence banale. Des images prises « dans le désordre » qui forment le point de départ de tableaux peints à l’huile sur toile. L’artiste cherche, en repoussant les limites, à franchir un hypothétique au-delà de l’image.
|
Zürcher Gallery
|
|
|
The sculptures of Florence Cantié-Kramer find their meaning through the materials used: they structure the corpus and give it the solitary, raw and poetic edge which characterises it. Lead, wax, neon and words are in constant opposition and respond to each other in unending dialogue.
|
Rabouan Moussion Gallery
|
|
|
Jérémie Delhome’s series of drawings that are presented at Marie Cini’s gallery is a work made from carbon paper which he used as a pigment by taking a sheet of paper for each successive layer within a stencil cut in tracing-paper sheets. This results in all kinds of imprints, sometimes superimposed, allowing him to play with density and value.

Marie Cini Gallery

(French only) Isolé sur sa terre, en l’occurence Ris-Orangis et un squatt d’artistes, seul face à son ile et ses planches qui trainent au alentours, Julien Des Monstiers décide de prendre sa propre peinture au mot et de peindre ces planches devenues sols, marquetteries, parquets ici transfigurée en œuvres.
|
Eric Mircher Gallery
|
|
|
This exhibition asks the question: who is “the Public Enemy” of today? Centered around this question, the works talk about confinement, destruction and vandalism in order to understand and discern “the public enemy” of today. The exibition highlights the strength of art in the service of a moral, social and even political.

Magda Danysz Gallery
|
|
|
(French only) Les formes audacieuses, énigmatiques et fragiles des sculptures d’Arnaud Vasseux résultent de la manipulation de matériaux simples, empruntés au catalogue des produits du bâtiment ou de l’industrie légère avec une préférence pour les matériaux « à prises »: plâtre, résine, fibre de verre.

Luca Cutrufelli’s work is closely linked to the places where he is invited to show and develops in the constant search for a deeper meaning, a point of view as much historico-social as personal.

(French only) Aux Beaux-arts, elle séchait les cours de dessin, préférant s’appliquer à détourer des sculptures de mini-golf sur photoshop, sa plus mauvaise note en perspective punaisée au mur de son atelier. Son « Grand Tour », Amélie Bertrand l’a fait le long des stations balnéaires ringardes, du Lunapark rouillé à l’Aqualand moisi.
|
Semiose Gallery
|
|
|
Johan Creten discovers the hidden power of earth behind ceramic’s apparent fragility. Johan Creten’s works seem to have escaped from fairytales and become symbolist wonders. They suggest the grottos of the Renaissance, where rules an artificial Nature, Arcimboldo’s and Bernard Palissy’s mannerism and also the curiosity cabinets.

Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery
|
|
|
The End of the World, the Apocalypse, and a subsequent renewal are a few of the reflections proposed by Vidya Gastaldon on the occasion of her exhibition. Inspired and amused by ideas of planetary annihilation that often border on intellectual catastrophe and collective panic, she has set her imagination on what this new world might really look like.

“The house I live in, here in Moscow, is situated near the last metro station of the Red line. As I come out of the building, the first people I meet are the Tajik street sweepers. Municipal orange robes, locally sewn Adidas tracksuit pants and worn-out sneakers, they’re pushing around assorted junk in carts fabricated out of discarded baby strollers” — S.Bratkov

Almine Rech Gallery

|
|
Semyon Faibisovich’s breakthrough came in 1980s with a series of paintings that collectively constituted a portrait of the Soviet era. Unlike the artists associated with Moscow conceptual art, Faibisovich was interested in the visual aspects of the system, the aspects that had not been properly reflected on and articulated.

For his exhibition, Antoine Roegiers presents his latest work, a series of drawings and a video installation inspired by “The Seven Deadly Sins” by Pieter Brueghel, made in the sixteenth century. Mastering pen and ink drawing techniques with the same ease as digital tools, the artist has been engaging in a dialogue with the great masters of Flemish painting.
|
Praz-Delavallade Gallery
|
|
|
For this exhibition, Jean-Michel Othoniel presents four new monumental sculptures and watercolour sketches inspired by Brancusi as well as the colours and forms of Italian Mannerism to the Baroque, developping the question of the lost body. It’s a matter of creating a volume of absence, constructions with variable dimensions where bodies could nest.

Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery

Pieter Vermeersch photographs the sky, usually at night, sometimes providing information as to the urban context, but without clouds, which might induce an overly narrative quality in the image. These vague, “negative” colours in the photographs are then reproduced in Vermeersch’s new paintings, showing us colour from “the other side of reality.”

“I met his daughter one night in Paris. Sophie Cammilleri told me the story of her father’s family, a story of immigration as there were millions in the 1930s. Very quickly, a collaboration began with her, an exchange of anecdotes and photographs, documents, letters.” — Giulia Andreani

To mark our entrance into the New Year, this exhibition sets out to perennialise the ephemeral and dated object, to return the hourglass, to leaf through the grid in reverse, to read and rediscover with a fresh eye those now timeless works, neither obsolete nor premonitory but works to indefinitely revisit.

(French only) C’est la première fois que Ian Anüll et Vaclav Pozarek, deux artistes vivant en Suisse, qui se connaissent depuis 30 ans, exposent ensemble. Ce projet est né de ce dialogue et de cette amitié.

(French only) Il y a une universalité du fantastique…Et cette nouvelle exposition de la Galerie Da-End le démontre, d’une certaine manière, en éclairant l’étrange relation que Céline Guichard entretient avec le fantastique japonais et en particulier avec l’incroyable tradition des Yôkai.

Da-End Gallery

|

Matthew Darbyshires works turn shop-bought domestic comfort into fertile seeds of doubt and discontent, Florence Doléac tributes to Mathieu Matégot, Julien Prévieux thinks out the territorial planning of thought and Martin Le Chevallier examines how people feels their normality.
|
Jousse Entreprise — Art contemporain
|
|
|
The photographic work of Valérie Jouve has developed around two entities: Humans and landscapes, and more generally the city and its outskirts. Each image is constructed around the notion of an encounter between bodies, whether they are individuals, architectures, or landscape components.
|
Xippas Gallery

As well as the casual voyeurism found when surfing the web or flicking through a magazine, Ghazi wants to explore what compels girlfriends to pose and boyfriends to photograph, finding fascination in these images that are often surprisingly poetic with their pre-digital glitches and determined eroticism.

Valentin Gallery

Better to inform people who get in the Jean-Claude Ruggirello’s exhibition, the origin of his work, is the sound. There are so many things to discern in this enigmatic puzzle assembling that, the silence, which covers and contains each element of his work until his final design, will be the only component imperceptible here.
