Fotoğrafik bir bakış
Fotoğraf, yaratıldığı andan itibaren izleyicinin saflığını doğrulayan bir unsuru içinde taşımıştır. Hemen gerçekliğin sadık bir yansıması olarak algılanmıştır. Asla böyle olmamıştır. Fotoğrafçılar bu sadakatle asla sınırlı kalmamış, dünyaya farklı bir bakış açısı sunmak ve algısal duyularımızla oynamak için makineyi ele almışlardır.
Dijital ve yapay zekanın her türlü manipülasyona olanak tanıdığı, görüntünün sürekli sorgulandığı bir zamanda, fotoğrafçılığın her türlü güvenilirlik onayını kaybettiği ve izleyicinin gördüğüne artık inanmadığı bir ortamda, bazı fotoğrafçılar makine ile oynamaya, çerçeve ile oynamaya, mono-fokal bakış açısı ile oynamaya devam ediyorlar, bize dünyayı başka bir şekilde görmemizi sağlayan imgeler üretiyorlar.
Dünyaya yeni bir dikkat gösterme, sadece gerçeğe yaklaşma veya bakış açısını değiştirme, geçersiz imgelerle dolu bir dünyada gözün dinlenmesi ve gerçekliğe olan inancımızı kaybetmemiz için bir fırsattır.

AILE RESIMLERI (SONBAHAR)
Bir fotoğraf gezisi. Bu fotoğraf gezisi, sıradan olanı bırakıp tatil zamanını farklı bir şekilde yaşamak için yaz dönemine odaklanıyor. Bu şekilde, Hicham Ahyoud, Hervé Gergaud veya Anne-Marie Bertin'in görüntüleri gibi, yeni aile hikayelerini nazikçe yakalamayı sağlıyor. Seyahat zamanı, mükemmel bir şekilde görsel parçalara ayrılır ve yeniden bir araya gelir. Henry Pouillon, Jean-Michel Ratron ve Catherine Ballet'in eserleri, kontrast, deformasyon veya üst üste bindirme etkileriyle bunun mükemmel bir örneğini sunuyor. Birçok kişi için plaj, tatilin sembolik alanıdır. Burada, başkalarından izole bir şekilde kalabalık içinde kendimizi buluyoruz. Cécile Ducrot, Emmanuel Passeleu ve Hégémon Chaignon'un fotoğrafları, deniz ufkunun büyüklüğü karşısında insanın kırılganlığını yansıtır. Ancak bu, aynı zamanda dikeyliğin bir fetihidir; Gilliard Bressan ve Sharlie Evans bunu kanıtlar. Burada, neredeyse havada süzülen figürler aracılığıyla, diğerleriyle ölçüşürken, iki kişi olarak birbirimize sarılıyoruz. [...]

Fotoğraf, aynı zamanda renkler ve grafik tasarım meselesidir, tıpkı Ori Junior, Debbie Scott-Queenin veya Elke Matthaeus'un melankolik gün batımlarında belirttiği gibi.
Luc Pallegoix, yaz gecelerinin kalbinde oyun ve rüya unsurlarını barındıran totemik hayvan figürlerini yerleştiriyor. Peki ya yazın oynasaydık?...

RIVIERA
Riviera seçkisi, Laurence Dreyfus tarafından titizlikle düzenlenmiş, Akdeniz'in ışık dolu ve benzersiz özünü zarif bir şekilde yakalar. Bu zengin ve dinamik kürasyon, çok çeşitli ufuklara sahip eserleri bir araya getirir: renk ve ışığın mükemmel bir uyum içinde iç içe geçtiği canlı soyutlamalar, Jchadima veya Mila Weis'in tablo serileri gibi; vücudun en otantik formunda saflığını kutlayan sade heykeller, Marie Saksik'in heykelleri gibi; ve doğanın ve kentselliğin zarif bir diyalog kurduğu, Gaetano Ligrani'nin Riflessioni veya Gozo'nun Viaje solitario gibi mimari ve hayalperest manzaralar. Güneş parıltıları, zarif atmosferler ve askıda kalan anlar arasında, her yaratım — ister Fabienne Choyau'nun Réflexion féline gibi figüratif olsun, ister François Cusson'un Carotte sauvage, rouge'u gibi daha şiirsel — hem görsel hem de duygusal bir yolculuğa davet eder, derinlemesine benzersizdir. Riviera, bu olağanüstü bölgeyi şekillendiren kültürel zenginliğe ve sanatsal çeşitliliğe bir övgü niteliğindedir; [...]

Riviera, bu olağanüstü bölgeyi şekillendiren kültürel zenginliğe ve sanatsal çeşitliliğe bir övgü niteliğindedir; burada madde, ışık ve Akdeniz nefesi birleşerek nadir bir yoğunlukta görsel bir senfoni oluşturur.

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.

Paris+ by Art Basel opens the doors to its second Parisian edition at the Grand Palais Éphémère from Thursday October 19 to Sunday October 22, 2023, helping to anchor Paris among the world's top 4 art market capitals. This artistic dynamism is reflected in the very large number of galleries in France (over 2,000 this year) and the growing number of foreign galleries setting up in the country. The exceptional range of museums and private foundations also contributes to positioning Paris as the home of an artistic offering that is unique in the world.
