From January 19th to December 22th, 2024, the Galerie Negropontes, situated nearby the Louvre Museum, invites again a wide team of artists, through its brand new eponym Mouvements exhibition (photo credits: AL).
Indeed, with this art installation, conceived as an ode to artistic transformation, this exhibition celebrates a certain creative impulse as an initial movement or even a genesis of all kind of artistic currents. For instance, you may admire the Perrin & Perrin’s duet Flip Flap installation, perfectly embodying this spirit, showcasing elements that gracefully ascend to perch on a wall.
A style that pretty much puts an echo to the copper style of Erwan Boulloud, displayed through his different visions of flashy furniture and decoration. This movement can be also pursued in the saccadic rhythm conveyed by Daniel Humair’s paintings, but also Etienne Moyat’s sculptural waves emerging from his wooden panels and in Gianluca Pacchioni’s alloy of marble and metals, notably visible in his Collapse bookcase. As you can see, those artworks distillate a certain a visual dynamic that punctuates this unmissable exhibition.
Without missing the Toscane rug realized by Maison Pinton, adding a musical dimension to this ensemble, which is inspired by a Perrin & Perrin ink design it creates the impression of a dancing landscape, inviting to contemplation.
In the great tradition of naturalist illustration, the artist Suzanne Husky invites us to reconsider the natural flow of rivers, through a telling story about relationships between humans and beavers. Indeed, in this drawing installation, named Le Temps Profond Des Rivières, you can be sure to explore this epic and sometimes tragic adventure, through colorful and documented sketches, until April 7th, 2024. By the way, this exhibition, to admire in the artistic Drawing Hotel, has a been developed in collaboration with the philosopher-researcher Baptiste Morizot. You would discover this enlightenment of animal condition, in the Drawing Lab which is the exhibition space of this hotel.
For your information, beavers have been lived establishing for 8 million years, in all the rivers of the northern hemisphere. Apart from being considered as the greatest builders and transformers of their environment, before or even after human, this animal species has been playing a huge role in designing aquatic landscapes, dealing in real harmony with surrounding biodiversity. Although, beavers were either venerated, sometimes deified, before being hunted by humans, along their constant geographical expansion. This expansive disappearance from beavers leads to a visible collapse of an entire ecosystem. Why not admiring then those drawings, as a tribute to this providential animal as well as to its defenders?
