Picasso said “I do not paint what I see, I paint what I think.”

Description

While going in the desert to seek paintings, we approached another dimension of the painting. The thought as base undeniable.

We have seeked in our collection for the particular pieces : two big art pieces of Minnie Pwerle Kngwarrey today deceased, a splendid Dr. George Takata Ward Tjapaltjarri whose paintings became very rare because of its blindness; three Paddy Lewis - Power in sobriety.

These three painters form integral parts of a ceremonial reality as well by their graphics as by the palette they used.

Lilly Sandover born in circa 1942 and deceased in 2003. A small jewel which we chose for you in exclusivity.

A big painting by Ningara Napurrula - in order not to forget the Museum of the Quay Branly in Paris - whom first asked this great artist to fix on his walls the Australian Aboriginal thought.

Steven Loy Akemarr and Ada Bird Petyarre show us the importance and the need to take in consideration our metaphysical reality.

Kandinsky, Picasso, Tapiès where right to say that the need for the artist is articulated around three principles :

The expression of what is specific to the person of the artist, of what is specific to the time, of what is specific to Art; and that a really new work contains a quantity such of upheavals germs that it is never explainable by reduction to a sum of indexed elements.

Or “what is to be defend is just Art. At the same time freedom to practice it and freedom often forgotten to read it. Rather than building theories, we should today exert our sensitivity.”


Yannick Richard - sculptor

Great course.

Ecole cantonale des Beaux Arts de Lausanne, then a specialization in engraving.

Receaves the Aloys Senefelder Price.

Passionned by the line and the material,

It is in 2006 whyle a training with Roger Gerster that sculpture becomes truly an obviousness. Wax at first and by 2007, the cut.

For this exhibition, Yannick Richard chosed alabaster called marble of the sea. Following the evaporation of sea water, salts so strongly concentrate that they are separate and form a kind of generally white marble stone, but also gray transparency, blue, cloudy black, sometimes marbled.

There is an extremely strong relation between the line and the stone. The lines are rigorous, but without clash. The marble is expressing himself. There is complicity and a lot of sensuality.

The meeting point beetwen the stone and the desert.
