Group show — Pierrette Bloch, Mario Giacomelli, François Génot, Muriel Moreau, Bertrand Secret, Anne Laure Sacriste et Soo Young Chin — LWS Gallery — Exhibition — Slash Paris

Past: April 4 → May 18, 2013

A year ago, the LWS gallery was expanding in order to reflect on which visual identity to assume. To celebrate this first anniversary and illustrate this other line of research, works of seven artists, both known and unknown, from different ages and backgrounds, take over the gallery and transform its space.

By gathering Pierrette Bloch, Soo Young Chin, François Génot, Mario Giacomelli, Muriel Moreau, Anne Laure Sacriste and Bertrand Secret, the LWS gallery confirms this distribution logic of works from both French and international artists, performing in a wide range of domains such as collage, photography, drawing, engraving and painting. This event recalls the aim of making the gallery a space for discovery and promotion of young as well as recognised artists.

Presenting some works made especially for the occasion, some taken from secret portfolios and others coming from far places, the desire of this exhibition is to show how contemporary creation can meet on topics repeating from one generation to the next, beyond borders. Around great figures in the art and photography history such as Pierrette Bloch and Mario Giacomelli, younger and less often represented artists as François Génot, Muriel Moreau and Anne Laure Sacriste display their talent, making this heritage a part of their language.

Mixing up supports, approaches, lights, colours and textures, works all gather here around their reference to nature and to naturalness.
