Kunstausstellungen

Chris Calvet is a painter and photographer based in Paris, France whose works have been exhibited internationally, in Italy, South Korea, China, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States and more. His artistic research is an introspective and meditative quest that is nourished by ancient Chinese and Taoist philosophies, as well as the poetry of language. Calvet's calligraphic compositions of SIGNE series translate universal concepts relating to the spiritual and natural world.

 

"Through my artistic quest, I wish to pay a humble tribute to the age-old art of Chinese calligraphy with an innovative and contemporary approach."

 

Requiring human resonance in his works, Chris Calvet has combined calligraphy with expressive bodies for his SIGNE (signs) artistic series. Signs have always been the expression of humanity, from the primary graphic frescoes, reflecting the ability of the artist to transcribe his inner essence through the essential gesture.

 

For the artist Chris Calvet, the resonance between the shapes of the bodies and the calligraphy lines symbolizes the unfailing connection between Nature and humankind. His artworks are thus timeless and
universal, acting like a bridge between the Western world and Asia.

 

On the occasion of his exhibition at the Hôtel de Rougemont, the artist exhibits for the first time his new artistic research on paper ALLEGORIE, alongside a selection of photographs from the SIGNE series.

 

ALLEGORIE series is a genuine visual journey into the infinity. In each painting, the viewer can perceive different landscapes and forms, astral bodies, fragments of self, through a mesmerizing meditative
experience. Within each contemplation, it is a discovery of a new world.

 

With ALLEGORIE, the artist invites the viewer to let his unconscious guide him to discover the messages of the canvas, all in nuances, like a true meditation. The abstraction then takes shape in the viewer's eyes.

2020 - Satoshi Okamoto: internationally renowned Japanese glass designer.

He develops, little by little, an increasingly personal work. He questions the world around him and wonders what existence is. His work is matter, form. In Japan he created a technique mixing silver leaf and colored powders. The appearance of his pieces never ceases to amaze, a quirky and classic universe that takes us towards dreams and poetry.

Sophie Burbaloff : portrait and landscape

Born in 1970 in Lyon, "Maîtrise d'Arts Plastiques" from Saint-Etienne. Softness and liveliness are the artist's keywords. Pastel allows her an infinite variation by changing the grain, the texture, the thickness of the line, even by crossing it with other materials... It also offers a unique palette thanks to the power and the luminosity of its pigments. Painting must remain, for Sophie Burbaloff, a visual emotion above all.
