Sébastien Arcouet

Le monde de Trompette selon Sébastien Arcouet,  ou Une nouvelle façon d'accéder  aux classiques de l'histoire de l'art    Sébastien Arcouet  est un peintre singulier qui vit à Marseille.  Né en 1976,  il suit des études scientifiques et ne se prépare pas à un avenir artistique.  P ourtant, il se plait de plus en plus à peindre, se laisse inspirer par son âme d’enfant et finit par imaginer Trompette, un personnage attachant auquel il avoue s’identifier aisément.  Depuis son compte Instagram, il nous fait (re)découvrir les oeuvres incontournables de l’histoire de l’art d’une manière à la fois sensible, poétique et ludique grâce à cette mascotte qui se faufile dans ses reproductions peintes à l’aquarelle. Picasso, Botticelli, Chagall,  Klimt,  Doisneau, Minjun, Toulouse-Lautrec,  entre autres, voient quelques unes de leurs oeuvres agrémentées du gentil trublion.   «L’aquarelle est la technique que j'utilise le plus; je reproduis des oeuvres qui sont pour la plupar

FERNAND KHNOPFF : THE UNAVOIDABLE EXHIBITION

Amazing exhibition of the master of the Belgian symbolism, Fernand Khnopff, at the Petit Palais in Paris. A scenography like an initiatic journey in his big house, which he used as a studio. The exhibition, through spacious rooms, bring together about a hundred pieces emblematic of the complex aesthetic of Fernand Khnopff, who was both painter, designer, engraver, sculptor.  Beautiful lighting and superb frames, typography highlight the work of the Belgian artist who had not been exhibited for forty years. The major works of Khnopff will be compared with those of artists of his time, from Gustave Moreau to Gustav Klimt and Franz Von Stuck, replacing him in the context of late-century Europe. If I compare this exhibition to that of Caravaggio, "Caravage à Rome, amis & ennemis", at the Jacquemart André Museum, it is really the day and the night.

JESSICA HARRISON: TRASH & KITSCH CERAMICS OR VARIATION ON LADY'S BODY

Working with a wide variety of materials from porcelain and marble to paint and digital collage, Harrison’s interest lies in how we handle, interpret and navigate materials, objects and space and how these processes define the shape of the body. The things she makes propose a re-imagining of these definitions, offering an alternative shape to our perception of things, often utilizing the simplicity of materials to explore the complexity of the sensory body. Jessica Harrison's practice is hinged on a fundamental fallibility of the body and types of knowledge that can be generated through mistakes and inexperience. She has a particular interest in the fallibility of observation and the gap between the seen and the felt, the visual and the tactile. This is the space in which her sculpture, and perhaps all sculpture, is situated - as something that happens  in-between  and  amongst  the body and objects, a part of both, but neither fully one nor the other.
