The new world of Charlotte PERRIAND

The new world of Charlotte PERRIAND at the LVMH Foundation: A proposal of Arts synthesis with Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Picasso, Fernand Léger, Hartung. Useful forms, art directly inspired by nature and its curves.
Another, The Art of living, this work invites us to think about the impact of art in our lives.

Until the 17th century, there were no assigned spaces, all the pieces had the same surface; functioning as a bedroom the closed beds to which we went up at night, as a dining room where we dressed the table, a room where we received people. No sewer, no heating, no water service, no electricity: being able to install anywhere.
When we travel, we take our furniture with us. I love this way of being nomads, those modular, multifunctional spaces that drive us into a movement and into living life in common.

Re-opening of the Modern Art Museum after works. Hans Hartung: The Gesture factory. Large and clear spaces resonating with the hessian. Intense, solid and free. Spontaneous and orderly. The color of the background is infinitely bright, endless blacks. Those are the hessian to live inexhaustibly.

EMIGRATE - LEAVE

There has always been immigration. Prepare your belongings. To leave everything and to escape. Going as a group, as a family. It is a break, a change in life. We leave in more or less dramatic conditions. Even if hope dominates, hardly ever we emigrate with happiness in the heart, instead, we feel fear in the womb.

D'Galerie 2018: my installation for the LIEN exhibition with a current immigration theme. On the one hand immigrants and on the other a dreamed world: organized and exuberant. In the middle, the blue sea, the Mediterranean to cross. The red mesh: the shipwrecked, those who never arrive.

In my NY trip made in May 2019, I returned to the Ellis Island where I always feel moved.

Biennale Whitney 2019: Maïa Ruth Lee - Bondage. With the theme of Baggage wisely folded.

New Museum May 2019: I discovered the amazing work of Nari Ward.

Paris Contemporary Drawing Fair

Sunday is the last day. In this season everybody is outside for the first sunny day of the year.

It is crowded, so many people waiting for the drawings, quite warm, a lot of noise, a lot of words. My eyes stares and ramble on the geometric, elaborated and minimalist pieces. It is beautiful, poetic and controlled.

Albert Einstein “The perfection in method and the ultimate aim confusion seems to define our time”. We have the right to ask ourselves what is the perfect method.

Confusing concepts. The commonly used concepts are crashed by senses. The concept is not enough and it can not replace the work.

North wind

Inspired by color and working on it.
Dead natures.
White porcelain. The painting, the color seemed to be out from my imagination, here it is, enriched and vital.

At the 17th century, the paint, the architecture, the furniture, the fabrics, the tapestries and the beginning of the 18th century, the Enlightenment.

Different forms, colors, materials, ideas, another vision of man, society and the world.

After antiquity, Roman art finally brings to an end the Middle Ages.

Back-to-work

Phase 2 at Chassy, focused on the studio.
The walls are 1.5 m thick. All these stones filled two walls of large stones carved on one side. We took the stones from the closer quarry and carved them in the visible part.

Ocher limestone region between the Puisaye sandstone and the Morvan granite.
In the meantime, same as last year, i settled in the future hall. We find instinctively the atmosphere of the XVII century colors, both dark and bright. Heavy red, pink and blue ochres. Colors of Wermeer
My work is shared between Saint-Cloud, Chassy and Mexico that I will find in February 2019.

The Menines

In this sculpture I wanted to develop the subject of envols in a different way and make them travel in time. I also wanted to mix techniques like molding or modeling and 3D printing. Here is the cat's head of the Egyptian goddess Bastet, the large dress that recalls the Menines, and the wings/arms of the petits envols (small flyers).

Centaur

This porcelain sculpture made in a 3D printer is also a centaur portrait for a gift. This portrait is inspired by the work of the Remains Fields realized for Archéologies du Futur where I recall the excavation fields which inspires me so much. The porcelain reminds me of marble. We picture this sculpture as a part of an Imaginary Museum.

Exposition évolutive LIEN / Echo parisien à la Biennale de Dakar

LIEN (bind) is a social exhibition and cultural heritage, an eco of the 2018 Dakar Biennial.

Pascale Fournier participated in the exhibition LIEN inaugurated may 15th 2018 in the Gallery 49 av. Jean Jaurès 75019 Paris.

Article published in the journal "Le Soleil de Dakar"  http://www.lesoleil.sn/2016-03-22-23-38-25/item/78295-echo-parisien-a-la-biennale-de-dakar-la -d-gallery-launches-a-exhibition-collective.html

The bind between the cultures and men exists everywhere in the geographic, cultural and religious frontiers. The art was there to proof "LIEN" (bind) is not an empty word.

I was there to watch how we share the same values and the same things concerning us.

Thank you to the "D Galerie" and "Domitille Bertrand " for gathered us in this exposition.

This "LIEN" exhibition was a chance for me to show the knitting and installation

Somebody said: "yes,  i understand the blue band which represents the .Mediterranean", other one mentioned "is the Samson and Dalida's chorus",  "The red net recalled me the red sea's journey". "It's very biblical." A little girl told me "they play, they jump".

Thanks to everyone for being there.
