LA CREENCIA POR LA IMAGEN
Una mirada fotográfica. La fotografía desde su creación ha llevado en ella la validación de la credulidad del espectador. Ha sido percibida inmediatamente como un reflejo fiel de lo real. Lo que nunca ha sido. Los fotógrafos nunca se han limitado a esta fidelidad, y han tomado la cámara para ofrecer otra mirada sobre el mundo y jugar con nuestros sentidos perceptivos. A la hora en que lo digital y la inteligencia artificial permiten todas las manipulaciones, y donde la imagen es constantemente cuestionada, mientras que la fotografía ha perdido toda validación de credulidad y el espectador ya no cree lo que ve, algunos fotógrafos continúan jugando con la cámara, con el encuadre, con el punto de vista mono-focal, para producir imágenes que nos llevan a mirar el mundo de otra manera. Prestar una nueva atención al mundo, solo acercarse a lo real o cambiar su punto de vista es un descanso para el ojo en un mundo sumergido en imágenes inválidas que nos hacen perder nuestra creencia en la realidad.

IMÁGENES DE FAMILIA (EL VERANO INDIO)
Una excursión fotográfica. Esta excursión fotográfica se enfoca en el periodo estival, momento en el que se abandona lo ordinario del cotidiano para vivir de manera diferente este tiempo de vacaciones. Permite así capturar con delicadeza nuevos relatos familiares, al igual que las imágenes de Hicham Ahyoud, Hervé Gergaud o Anne-Marie Bertin. El tiempo del viaje se descompone y se recompone por excelencia en fragmentos visuales. Las obras de Henry Pouillon, Jean-Michel Ratron y Catherine Ballet son la ilustración perfecta a través de efectos de contraste, deformación o superposición. Para muchos, la playa es el territorio emblemático de las vacaciones. Nos encontramos numerosos allí mientras nos aislamos de los demás. Las fotografías de Cécile Ducrot, Emmanuel Passeleu y Hégémon Chaignon restituyen así la fragilidad humana frente a la inmensidad del horizonte marino. Pero también es una conquista de la verticalidad, como lo atestiguan Gilliard Bressan y Sharlie Evans. Nos medimos a los [...]

La fotografía es también un asunto de colores y de grafismo, así como lo afirman las puestas de sol melancólicas de Ori Junior, Debbie Scott-Queenin o Elke Matthaeus.
Luc Pallegoix inscribe finalmente, en el corazón de las noches de verano, figuras totémicas animales que son tanto juego como sueño. ¿Y si jugáramos en verano?...

RIVIERA
La selección Riviera, cuidadosamente orquestada por Laurence Dreyfus, capta con finura la esencia luminosa y singular del Mediterráneo. Esta curaduría rica y dinámica reúne obras de horizontes múltiples: abstracciones vibrantes donde color y luz se entrelazan en perfecta armonía, como la serie de cuadros de Jchadima o de Mila Weis; esculturas puras celebrando la pureza del cuerpo en su forma más auténtica, a imagen de las esculturas de Marie Saksik; así como paisajes arquitectónicos y oníricos, tales Riflessioni de Gaetano Ligrani o Viaje solitario de Gozo, donde la naturaleza y el urbanismo dialogan con elegancia. Entre destellos de sol, atmósferas delicadas e instantes suspendidos, cada creación — ya sea figurativa como Reflexión felina de Fabienne Choyau o más poética como Carotte sauvage, rouge de François Cusson — convoca a un viaje a la vez visual [...]

Riviera rinde homenaje a la riqueza cultural y a la diversidad artística que modelan este territorio de excepción, donde materia, luz y aliento mediterráneo se unen para componer una sinfonía visual de una rareza intensidad.

THE FOREST OF DREAMS
YourArt gives a voice to all visual artists and those who support them. Browse YourArt is a journey conducive to encounters, reflection, sharing of emotions and discovery. A walk where the diversity of creations and passions is comparable to the ecosystem of a forest. Artists are lookouts who invite us to keep our eyes open to the world.
Their testimony, in the selection offered here, highlights the beauty and richness of the living world through works that question the place of Man in his community. Networks or roots, branches or social fabrics, Man, just like the tree, flourishes within a living and global organization.
This link is not lost on artists who, in their representation of the plant world, denounce the imprint of Man on his environment, and encourage us to become aware of the vital nature that we have to modify our being-in-the-world.

COUPS DE ❤️ ART-O-RAMA
YourArt is a partner of Art-o-rama, the feel-good fair. A stroll through the identity-related concerns of Generation Z, the 17th edition of this summer event dedicated to emerging galleries is refreshing. 1/ Sissi Club invites artists Camille Bernard and Corentin Darré to a sensitive and fantastic dialogue. Camille Bernard paints scenes in which humans, represented in inclusive form, cohabit between two worlds, in carnal and spiritual harmony with nature. Corentin Darré's stories are based on modern fairy tales, and explore the vulnerability of identity through sculpture and 3D video. 2/ Gaby Sahhar exhibits the Europe-Palestine project at Spiaggia Libera. Her paintings and drawings deal with the construction of identity linked to migration and gender identity. The series reveals hybrid architectures, between European capitals and the West Bank, and bears witness to the artist's phycho-affective context. 3/ Galerie in situ presents the sociological work of young visual and performance [...]

3/ Galerie in situ presents the sociological work of young visual and performance artist Oroma Elewa. In large-format photo and text tableaux, the artist questions the image of black women and the stereotypes associated with their cultural identity.
4/ At Gilles Drouault, artist Johannes Sivertsen draws inspiration from the great masters of classical painting, such as Delacroix, to question the mechanisms of power within dominant groups, and bears witness to the dual process of otherness and hostility towards minorities.

THE DRAWER
RAINBOW PORTRAITS
Photographer, draughtsman and performer, Laurent Poleo-Garnier graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020. Sensitive and close to their models, his portraits of Parisian and Berlin youth, or of dancer and choreographer François Chaignaud, tell the story of a fluid era and express the artist's taste for metamorphoses, costumes, the world of show business, drag culture and its representatives, illustrious or anonymous. Laurent Poleo-Garnier also depicts himself in self-portraits inspired by figures from his personal pantheon (Nijinsky, Yves Saint Laurent, etc.), sometimes enhanced in ink or pencil with rainbow colors. These founding, free and transgressive figures are also reproduced in his works on canvas and paper. Far from the selfie and close to the homage, the images of Poleo-Garnier, a transformist artist heir to the pioneers Barbette, Claude Cahun and Manon, blend eras, genres and mediums, building aesthetic and sensitive bridges between the 20th and 21st centuries, between the [...]

ARTYSANAT
If the boundary between art and craft has always been difficult to draw, today it is even more permeable with the arrival of technologies capable of reproducing the work of the human hand.
By turns craftsmen, designers, photographers, sculptors, and sometimes all at once, the artists in this selection produce works that are veritable condensations of technicality, whether automated or manual. While they sometimes call on cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, they also revisit ancestral methods where calm and patience are de rigueur, the combination of these skills leading to a redefinition and new incarnation of aesthetic codes.
Is it still possible to distinguish the work of man from that of the machine?
This tour questions the role of the hand in contemporary production, whether by its absence when it is replaced by an algorithm, or by its obvious presence when the work reveals a commitment to the artist's gesture and body.

IMAGINING THE INVISIBLE
Since the first "views from above", taken from a balloon in the mid-19th century, fascination with aerial views has grown steadily, in tandem with technological advances and the conquest of space. The magnetism exerted by cosmic iconography oscillates between wonder and disquiet. Artists seize on aerial mapping technologies as tools of surveillance, or imagine what has yet to be observed, depicting in the process more or less optimistic visions of our planet and the omnipresent control systems that surround us, as witness Markel Redondo's works, archaeologies of a new type of ruin, or Leah Desmousseaux's clichés born of an immobile voyage. Representations of that which is not visible from our own point of view fuel both hopes and fears. Blaise Schwartz asks us: are we strangers to our own world? What is invisible arouses curiosity and leaves potential room for a new apprehension of space, as illustrated by Yannis Khannoussi. But the unknown remains a threat. Space images offer a window [...]

Space images offer a window onto distant worlds, but also materialize the extent of our ignorance, stimulating our desire to discover, feeding the fantasy of another form of life, but also scientific research, supporting the need to explore the abysses of our galaxy.

THE DRAWER
THE ART OF BLURRING
Working the image or motif in such a way as to give it an indefinite character, playing with tools or scales to modify reality, bringing sensations to life through a gesture or repeated writing: blur is a singular art form. Breaking away from figurative art, but not in the realm of abstraction, these works deserve redoubled attention. What is there to see in Léa Belooussovitch's colored pencil drawings on felt-tip pen? What's the point of Armelle de Sainte Marie's works on paper, made with an often-repeated hatching gesture? You have to look at the titles of the works to grasp the subject. The first is based on violent news images, which she reframes and redraws in her own way. The second seeks to depict atmospheres, worlds, seascapes or forests. For Houston Maludi, it's the accumulation of details that leads to a form of indeterminacy. From a distance, the compositions resemble an abstract motif. Up close, an urban landscape comes to life. Charles Le Hyaric, for his part, seeks to mimic [...]

And everything naturally becomes a blur. English artist Jack Warne, who suffers from a hereditary corneal disease, manipulates the source photographic image to create compositions in which real objects stand out. These works are best viewed with eyes half-closed, to gain new insights into our world and theirs.
