'NEW ARTIST COLLABORATION'

L'ATLAS (FR)

we are happy to inform you about the artist collaboration with French artist L'ATLAS starting in 2020. L'ATLAS will be on display showing a few artworks as part of our upcoming group show "mixed starter vol2"

opening January 10 - March 08 / 2020

The French artist, Jules Dedet Granel, aka L’Atlas, born in 1978, found in his research around writing the starting point for his work in the fine and pictorial arts.  He studied calligraphy in different countries and cultures, in this way creating his own original fonts.  He was particularly interested in the idea of creating a universal pictorial language, a balance between form and letter, between act and intent; a game with endless variations, drawing near and diverging from optical art and the abstract and geometric art movements.  In the 90s, he took radical action in the public sphere, making a name for himself in the field of graffiti; as of 2000, he developed studio work and exhibited his works in contemporary urban art galleries.

A major figure and internationally renowned street artist, he is known for his painted facades and for his monumental performances carried out directly on the ground on historical sites in cities, like with the immense compass commissioned by the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 2008, or at the Place du Capitole in 2012, in partnership with the city of Toulouse.  These performances are captured frame by frame by the artist in video recordings.

He has also collaborated with brands such as Perrier whose mythical bottles he adorned with “Poptic’art”, a movement mixing optical and pop art that he is considered to have coined; and Agnès b, adding his touch to the clothes of the designer, one of his most loyal collectors.

L’Atlas is unique in that he researches and systematically renews his approach and his expression of the letter and the line, of the codified rhythm of writing, searching for the limits of illegibility and methodically leading his work towards abstraction and minimalism; he considers all form as letter and all letter as form, which has recently led him to work with urban planners to give a third dimension to his art and reinvest the public space in another way, thus restoring meaning to the the architectural dimension of his work.

Today he is an artist whose rigorous work justifies the success he has met with collectors, the public and institutions.

UPCOMING GROUP SHOW: WALLS

For their first show of 2020, Urban Spree Galerie presents « WALLS », a collective exhibition featuring 30 international artists.

Expanding the historical timeline and geographical scope beyond the Fall of the Berlin Wall 30 years ago, "WALLS" explores the notion of the wall, from Antiquity to contemporary issues, viewed through the lens of artists committed to the public space and whose work is closely related to walls.

Curated by Fabrice Douar and Cyrille Gouyette (Le Louvre Museum, Paris) and co-curated by Pascal Feucher (Urban Spree Galerie, Berlin), « WALLS » invites prominent artists from the comics and street art scenes to create graphic works of fiction related to walls, interpreted either as simple architectural elements, ominous symbols of segregation, canvases and vessels to convey meaning, textures, or imaginary playgrounds and labyrinths.

The exhibition’s direction is resolutely multifaceted, contemporary and graphic-oriented, spanning several topographies (Europe, South Korea, Middle East, Hong Kong, Cuba…), and art forms (painting, photography, installations, videos).

30 Artists: Alias, Andreas, Jim Avignon, Bault, Enki Bilal, Broken Fingaz Crew, Isaac Cordal (installation), Hendrik Czakainski, Christian Durieux, Philippe Écharoux (mapping installation), EVOL, Jean Faucheur, Flix, Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, Miles Hyman, Kim Jung Gi, Levalet, Stéphane Levallois, Loustal, Marc-Antoine Mathieu, Mode2, Alexandra Novosseloff, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Michal Škapa, Pen So, Thom Thom, Sam Tse, Santiago Valenzuela, Lars Wunderlich, Zevs.

The Self-Portrait: Antiquity to #Selfie

Tuesday, January 21st, 6:00-8:00PM

High Line Nine

507 West 27th Street

New York, NY

From the classical and literal to the digital and errant, self-portraiture has been a persistent subject throughout art history. But an artist's exercises in self-representation rarely result in an impartial likeness. In this evening curated by Sugarlift and Juxtapoz in conjunction with ME: An Exhibition of Contemporary Self-Portraiture, three experts investigate the self-portrait through historic, artistic and cultural lenses.

Speakers:

• Carlo McCormick, Art & Culture Critic and Author
• Calvine Harvey, Historian and VP of Old Masters Painting at Sotheby’s
• Jenny Morgan, Contemporary Painter

GRAFFITI BOUQUET

Scott Marsh is a leading figure in Australian graffiti and street art. He is internationally acclaimed for his thought-provoking murals, combining a larrikin wit with enormous scale to address a myriad of environmental and social issues. He is also becoming increasingly acclaimed for his fine art and diligent studio practice.
 
Graffiti Bouquet is a continuation of Marsh’s native floral series. 15 new works which aim to blur the lines between art and vandalism, between highbrow and lowbrow art movements. Marsh combines the aesthetic, energy and techniques associated within the graffiti culture with classic motifs from the fine art world; a floral still life. This interesting juxtaposition is resulting in one of the most exciting and dynamic fusions in Australian art

Galerie MathGoth
34, rue Hélène Brion - 75013 Paris
Du 24 janier au 29 février 2020
Du mercredi au samedi de 14 à 19 heures

Vernissage en présence d’artistes le vendredi 24 janvier à partir de 18 heures

2020 marquera le 10ème anniversaire de la galerie Mathgoth qui a
décidé de débuter l’année sous les auspices de 11 peintres à la
technique incroyable et dont les oeuvres flirtent en permanence
avec l’hyperréalisme. D’où le titre évocateur de cette exposition
collective : « Réalités ». À découvrir du 24 janvier au 29 février.

Le réalisme est de plus en plus présent dans l’art urbain et le nombre de peintres
qui s’y adonnent ne cesse de s’accroître. Pour ce group show le choix des artistes
s’est volontairement porté sur un panel original, mettant en avant des approches
particulières du vivant.
Cette line up internationale réussit à nous offrir une trentaine de pièces aux
techniques étonnantes, déployant des styles et univers très différents. Si on
retrouve deux habitués des cimaises de la galerie (l’Allemand Akut et le Cubano-
Américain Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada), de nouveaux talents viennent compléter le
tableau. Des lettrages dits « ballons d’hélium » créés par le Suédois Huge aux
effets (sacs) plastiques du Russe Shozy, le spectateur pourra également admirer les portraits déstructurés du Français Kogaone et de l’Espagnol Belin. S’ajouteront
à cela les peintures aux accents radiographiques de l’Anglais Shok-1 et les
superpositions en rouge et bleu du Grec Insane51 - pour voir pleinement ces
dernières, il faudra s’équiper de lunettes 3D !
Les cranes acidulées de l’Anglais SmugOne feront écho aux corps expressifs de la
New-Yorkaise BKFoxx, seule femme représentée, dont la touche naturaliste donne
littéralement vie aux supports. Enfin, les explosions multicolores du Brésilien
L7matrix viendront compléter ce portfolio d’ouvrages à l’aune duquel le public
mesurera sans peine les prouesses des artistes en matière de jeux visuels.

ART3035 Gallery Amsterdam is pleased to present Whereabouts an exhibition showcasing recent artworks by Alice Pasquini curated by Jacopo Gonzales. Internationally recognised, Alice
Pasquini has established herself thanks to her ability to innovate the aesthetics of urban
art and to engage her own personal trend focused mainly on introspection and emotion.
Structured on visual traces that create connections from the most remote corners of the
world, Whereabouts is perhaps the most intimate exhibition of Alice Pasquini to date.

Over the course of three years, Alice took time to draw her own personal souvenirs as she
traveled the world through the use of postcards sent to herself, which form the central core
of the project. Each postcard becomes a tangible memory, a reminder of how her life has
unfolded. From São Paulo to Berlin to New York City, each postcard is a way to preserve
something tangible from her experience that does not end with the journey but rather is
grafted onto her personal story to explore Alice's continuous journey around the world. The
exhibition also presents a cycle of geographical maps from the 1950s with which the artist
dialogues, integrating her own style and transforming them into artistic territory.
