HET GELOOF DOOR HET BEELD
Een fotografische blik. De fotografie heeft sinds zijn creatie de validatie van de geloofwaardigheid van de kijker met zich mee gedragen. Het werd onmiddellijk waargenomen als een trouw spiegelbeeld van de werkelijkheid. Wat het nooit is geweest. Fotografen hebben zich nooit beperkt tot deze trouw, en hebben de camera gepakt om een andere blik op de wereld te werpen en te spelen met onze perceptieve zintuigen. Op het moment dat het digitale en kunstmatige intelligentie alle manipulaties mogelijk maken, en waar het beeld voortdurend ter discussie staat, terwijl de fotografie alle validatie van geloofwaardigheid heeft verloren en de kijker niet meer gelooft wat hij ziet, blijven fotografen spelen met de camera, met het kader, met het monofocale perspectief, om beelden te produceren die ons ertoe aanzetten de wereld anders te bekijken. Een nieuwe aandacht voor de wereld dragen, alleen dichter bij de werkelijkheid komen of het perspectief veranderen is een rust voor het oog in een wereld die [...]

AFBEELDINGEN VAN FAMILIE (DE INDIAN SUMMER)
Een fotografische uitje. Dit fotografische uitje richt zich op de zomertijd, een moment waarop men het gewone van het dagelijks leven verlaat om deze vakantietijd anders te beleven. Het stelt ons in staat om met delicatessen nieuwe familieverhalen vast te leggen, zoals de beelden van Hicham Ahyoud, Hervé Gergaud of Anne-Marie Bertin. De tijd van de reis ontleedt en hercomposeert zich bij uitstek in visuele fragmenten. De werken van Henry Pouillon, Jean-Michel Ratron en Catherine Ballet zijn de perfecte illustratie hiervan door middel van contrasteffecten, vervorming of superpositie. Voor velen is het strand het emblematische gebied van de vakantie. Men komt er met velen samen terwijl men zich van anderen afzondert. De foto's van Cécile Ducrot, Emmanuel Passeleu en Hégémon Chaignon brengen zo de menselijke kwetsbaarheid terug tegenover de immensiteit van de zeehorizon. Maar het is ook een verovering van de verticaliteit, zoals getuigen Gilliard Bressan en Sharlie Evans. Men meet zich aan [...]

Fotografie is ook een kwestie van kleuren en grafiek, zoals de melancholische zonsondergangen van Ori Junior, Debbie Scott-Queenin of Elke Matthaeus bevestigen.
Luc Pallegoix plaatst tenslotte, in het hart van de zomernachten, totemachtige dierfiguren die zowel van spel als van droom zijn. En als we tijdens de zomer zouden spelen?...

RIVIERA
De selectie Riviera, zorgvuldig georkestreerd door Laurence Dreyfus, vangt met finesse de heldere en unieke essentie van de Mediterranee. Deze rijke en dynamische curatie verenigt werken met meerdere horizonten: vibrerende abstracties waar kleur en licht in perfecte harmonie met elkaar verweven zijn, zoals de serie schilderijen van Jchadima of Mila Weis; puristische sculpturen die de puurheid van het lichaam in zijn meest authentieke vorm vieren, zoals de sculpturen van Marie Saksik; en architectonische en dromerige landschappen, zoals Riflessioni van Gaetano Ligrani of Viaje solitario van Gozo, waar natuur en urbanisme elegant met elkaar in dialoog gaan. Tussen zonneschijn, delicate atmosfeer en opgeschorte momenten, nodigt elke creatie — of deze nu figuratief is zoals Réflexion féline van Fabienne Choyau of poëtischer zoals Carotte sauvage, rouge van François Cusson — uit tot een reis die zowel visueel als emotioneel is, diepgaand uniek. Riviera eert de culturele rijkdom en de artistieke [...]

Riviera eert de culturele rijkdom en de artistieke diversiteit die dit uitzonderlijke gebied vormgeven, waar materie, licht en mediterrane adem samenkomen om een visuele symfonie van zeldzame intensiteit te componeren.

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 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.

NEW PERSPECTIVES
This selection aims to highlight, in the most respectful way possible, an artistic and activist presence that offers new perspectives, in particular a generation of LGBTQIA+ artists whose practices are seizing on societal issues.
Through their work, these artists convey values of inclusion, witness and respect for difference.
The selected works explore shifting identities in both discourse and form, illustrate dreams and inspirations, raise awareness of sexual and gender discrimination, challenge heteronormative and cisgender models, and above all reject injunctions to fit into boxes.
