Alberta Pane gallery, Paris

Alberta Pane gallery energetically supports contemporary art and artists who use differents mediums. The two artists presented for Drawing Now Paris are Florence Girardeau in a one-man-show with a series of abstract drawings playing with continuity and discontinuity, detail and whole, expectation and shifts. João Vilhena through his curious and absurd drawings, looks to call out to the observer, by utilizing the same genre of trompe-l’œil and by the choice of titles used in communication with the works.

Mutations

Patrick Bernatchez’s works, by their hybrid form, cause confusion. Specially interested by the notion of cycle, the artist’s develops a concept — here the metamorphosis — through as different series as differents mediums.

Allyson Mellberg was born in 1977 and lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. She makes drawings, paintings, silk screens, and etchings of beautifully deformed and yet playful characters who carry a proud demeanor in their abnormalities. Furry creatures climb on the heads of women and wrap their tails around mustachioed boys. Her work is inspired by the daily misuse of chemicals in our society and in keeping with her awarness uses nontoxic and often homemade materials such as walnut ink and egg tempera.
