‘Contre jour’ • Oil on canvas • 80 x 80 cm
 

Born in 1954, near Lyon, Paul Bergignat now lives in the Cevennes in France.

He paints silent mysterious landscapes with an unreal quality,
which often suggest solitude and the loss of points of reference.
The tones appear timeless; nature is not hostile, despite the darkness of the paintings.
Paul evokes the inner self to create an universal terra incognita.
By following different byways, he imagines new horizons,
seeking to generate an emotion,
to grasp what the world has lost: its origins.

her innermost feelings and share her creative intuition.

Takao Yamazaki. During this period she was the recipient of many awards and distinctions.
In particular in 2003, she won the prestigious Grand Prize of the Shohaku Museum. Her talent and potential were recognized
by Atsushi Uemura, one of Japan’s great masters of nihon-ga and she was offered the rare opportunity of studying
under his guidance for three months following her Master of Arts degree.
Before leaving Japan for France she had a major personal exhibition in Kyoto at the Nasic Square Gallery.
In 2015 she had a major solo exhibition at Musée des Arts Asiatiques of Toulon (France)

Yiching Chen lives and works in Paris.
Her paintings represent her intimate connection with nature that she expresses
through the delicate and sensitive poetic language of nihonga. She also shares her passion through teaching,
at the Guimet Museum of Asian Arts in Paris.
In 2008 she won the bronze medal for painting at the Salon des Artistes Français, Grand Palais, Paris.

‘A dream’ • bronze 2017 • 45 x 35 x 110 cm
 

Sculptress Myriam Eykens rather swiftly established a national reputation, thanks to the appetisingly delicacy of her modeled female nudes.
They were foremost created to be cast in plaster. Apparently as a debutante, Eykens never contemplated sales of large editions.
That became rather the fate of her very popular, multicoloured petites têtes: heads of children, women and a sparse cardinal.
Modeled in clay, terracotta proved to be the ideal material for these small heads. Soon though, her female nudes were cast in that
most adamantine of man made materials: bronze. In proper mechanical execution they were, and still are, subtly controlled by the artist.
To this day, Eykens is joyfully experimenting with the attenuated sweep of the nude body, in different postures and in various positions
of the legs – amounting to something no less than an attempt to a rerenaissance of Beauty in contemporary art.

Zowel Myriam Eykens’ terracotta’s – in nu eens speelse dan weer dromerige of licht melancholische toonaarden – als haar lascieve bronzen
verrukken ons door erotiserende verleidelijkheid en door evidente eenvoud. De combinatie van beide laat haar werk aanschuiven aan de
interessante marges van de rijke tafelen der kunstgeschiedenis. Zeker: zo heeft Eykens het zelf gewild als ze beweert geen classicisme
na te streven, wél volle en liefst tijdloze vrijheid. Uiteraard volgde ze in haar vormingsjaren ooit de lessen met vrucht;
maar haar carrière lang heeft ze, eigensoortig veelzijdig, een hoogst individuele minirenaissance aangezwengeld
die de zinnenstrelende schoonheid terug in de kern van haar kunst wil planten.

Il y a belle lurette, Myriam Eykens se lance en parfaite liberté dans une création personnelle, sans être chargée de cours, sans commanditaire,
sans articles publicitaires dans les revues ou les médias, surtout sans le soutien de l’Etat et ses grands-commis, directeurs de musées.
Cette liberté, affichant une conception claire du Beau, lui donne une ardeur d’avance qui se joint à son immense plaisir au travail.
Son oeuvre illustre sa joie de vivre; son style prend distance vis à vis de la dernière mode et, loin d’être monomane, explose en tonalités différentes.
Ses têtes – modelées dans l’argile , terre cuite en y ajoutant du pigment, et autant de pièces uniques fort prisées – présentent une vraie famille
postmoderne de caractère. Ses beaux bronzes de femmes épanouies incarnent sa conception d’une Beauté quelque peu en marge de l’histoire de l’art, rebelles à tout intellectualisme prétentieux – toujours aptes à une sereine contemplation.

‘Le chemin’ • Oil on canvas • 146 x 114 cm
 

« Wang Gang was born in 1964 in Jinan, Shandong province in China.
He graduated in 1985 from the Fine Arts University of Xi’an.
His roots and memories are the leading thread in his work.
Wang Gang’s world is stamped with wonderful anachronism and a feeling of timelessness.
His painting is the reflection of our selective memory where recollections, faces and landscapes
melt together to create a complete work where the confusion of memories makes way for dreams.
The discovery of this strange universe confronts the world of dreams and meditation. »

‘Oratio’ • bronze • 270 x 110 x 80 cm
 

« Emanuele De Reggi’s imposing bronze statues have the Olympian impassibility of pudicity.
Before offering themselves to our sight, they urge us to listen to their secret histories.
Their nature, as the Physiologist would say, becomes cold and solid by the incandescent alchemy
of a casting that, in the blue-green sparkle of its oxidation, renders their surfaces pellucid
and rippled, smooth and rough, all at one and the same time. »
