The HAIRS are sculptors, painters, actors. Though each one has chosen their own path and mode of expression, the similar influences are multiple and often unexpected.
The selection of thirty paintings, drawings, pastel and engravings presented at ZEBRES is an opportunity to enter the sensitive universe of Jacques Ousson and to let the poetry of his work take effect. We are pleased to welcome this great painter from the banks of the Loire so dear to our heart. Exhibition: 28 November to 16 December 2018
Using a great freedom in the techniques used and the subjects covered, Thomas Levy structures his entire work around the fleeting moments of life, those « snapshots » that build his universe. In addition to his oils and acrylics, he exhibits his latest digital creations in paper prints. This time, the snapshot is at the service of dance; between capturing the purity of gestures and abstract expression of his imagination. His encounter with dancers, choreographers and artistic directors Honji Wang and Sébastien Ramirez opened the doors to the stage for him. He was able to share the rehearsals of their last show to create a new graphic experience that he invites you to discover. Exhibition: 18 October to 5 November 2018
Some twenty original works, engravings and prints by Louise Cara exhibited from 28 June to 9 July 2018. These works have been selected from her series: « Traits, Tectonic et Fil d'Ariane ». The singularity of her technique lies in the choice of her materials and tools. It results in the exclusive use of an intense and deep black Japanese ink and a unique pigment, slate, fixed by a natural binder. The writing of her works is made up of signs, drawn mainly with a spatula and a calligraphy brush. Louise Cara seeks to strike a balance in oppositions: black/white, full/empty, soft/hard, horizontal/vertical. As if to install graphically a harmony of contrasts.
