Vues de l'Esprit
We are very pleased to present the new exhibition "Vues de l'esprit", which plays with the relationship between look and knowledge. What do we really see ? Can we look beyond the appearances ?
Three artists are honored this month :
The photograph Didier Fournet, new member of the Envie d'Art team. His series "Vibrations" plays with the boundaries of visible and audible by transforming landscapes into sound waves. Nemo Jantzen works the ideas of depth and reality through his portraits, which are a constellation of other scenes or an assembly of wires. The portrait is not only the reflection of a form, but also the mirror of a mind. Reinhard Gorner, with his monumental photographs of libraries, suggests a real staging of the richness of the mind, revealed by the colossal architecture of the place.

"Keep on Moving" with Peter Keizer
March 02 - March 31, 2018
We are delighted to welcome back Peter Keizer this month. His artworks perfectly announce Spring in a very colorful and flowered mood. These new compositions are a work on textures, thus Keizer's approach on painting is almost sculptural. Thanks to this play on reliefs and colours, the material comes to life in a sweet and sensual way.

Cecile Plaisance - When Barbie is brought to life
December 10, 2017 – January 15, 2018
The lenticular prints of Cecile Plaisance became even more impressive ever since she changed from Barbies to real models. The series is a hymn to femininity and shows the different facets of a woman. After all, women aspire beyond cultures, clothes and life paths to live their multiple lives fully and intensely.

Peter Keizer solo show
January 10 - February 18, 2017
Our very first 2017 opening show will be focus on Peter Keizer.
At once both magnificient and absurd, Peter Keizer's work is about a world where only positive feelings arise: full of flowers, trees, mountainous landscapes and dogs. His themes are closely connected to childhood memories; as if time had turned his memories into idealized , colorful works of art. The thick oil paint is mostly used directly out of the tube, and gives a sculptural aspect to the paintings: thus enhancing the presence of the colours. "Lie on the grass and look up to the trees, if you have a young mind, you'll see what I painted" - Peter Keizer says.

Women First
March 8 - May 16 2016
K+Y give pride of place to two women artists, Yanne Kintgen and Nathalie Cohen. They distinguish themselves thanks to a universe specific to them. Yanne expresses numerous aspects of her personality through her multiple talents: photos, sculptures, paintings or still drawings. She immerses the spectator into the troubles of our society by approaching current subjects. Nathalie Cohen dedicates herself to the kinetic art. Movement, collaboration and dynamism are the key words of the artist. The spectator becomes then an actor of the works.

When East meets West
January 13 - February 27, 2016
Varnish, resin, cracks, wood, sanding, acrylic, layers, tribute to art history, hommage to high level of mastering ancient technique....
To start 2016 we have selected two talented artists Peter Hoffer a Canadian painter based in Berlin and Kwang-Bum Jang from South Korea.
How can we actually see that time goes while looking at a painting?
This is a major interrogation for our artists.
Kwang-Bum says "we can only feel the past after its dispersal and after its runaway, because we can never touch, suspend or stop the present. Past is actually the only time we can outline." Indeed past is the product of accumulation and degradation of time, which is exactly what Jang's artistic creation is about : conceiving layers then destroying them by sanding them to finally show through the runaway of their prints and shapes.
Come and have look to his work which converse amazingly with Peter's!

While Peter and Derek reveal worldwide guns, libraries are ideal hunting ground for Reinhard Görner. Görner's pictures convey both width and intimacy, depth and mystery.
We are beckoned to follow Görner's eye into a space of tranquility.

Patrick Smith & Nemo Jantzen
March 7 - April 25, 2015
As a critical observer of the unstable relationship between the environment and its inhabitants, Patrick Smith initiated his series "Leisure Territories" where the natural environment reveals how our society secularly designs landscape to fit our requirements.
Meanwhile Nemo Jantzen has consistently explored the dialogue of narrative tropes in an image soaked contemporary environment.
His works depict a narrative of cinematographic illusion, intimacy, and beauty; challenging the traditional figurative pieces from earlier works with a consistent act of voyeurism and the essence of privacy.

Solo Show : Peter Keizer
september 18 - october 31, 2013
For his very first exhibition in Paris, Peter Keizer expands his universe through paintings, bronze or ceramic sculptures. Done with a light touch and freshness, and really pure but effective design and vivid colours as we can see his tulip vases or flowers paintings, his work doesn't spare "naive art" but as always Peter's paintings are full of irony, humour and love for the insignificant and trivial things.

Solo show: Yanne Kintgen / LANDSCAPE MINDSCAPE
March 27 - May 4, 2013
With her brand new paintings, Yanne Kintgen show us once again how much
she loves exploring the complexity of our behaviours and feelings.
Twigs, branches, climbers ... all those ramifications have turned into
circuits, synapses, complex connections of our neuronal network.
"Green hell or lost paradise, phobia or enthralling myth? The visible
ambiguity of this world reveals (to) the passing-by the hidden features
of his soul."

Solo Show : Elisabeth Lecourt
January 26 - February 23, 2013
Lecourt's art is one of disclosure. Works ranging from story-telling, drawing, installation, painting, embroidered handkerchiefs and sculpture take cue from personal events in the artist's life. Within "Les Robes Géographiques", Lecourt treats her use of maps as a "rubbing" of the body and soul. The physical manifestation of personal thoughts is a key aspect of Lecourt's work; using a range of materials to provoke and extract emotions. "I feel like a surgeon when I cut and shape a dress. As a material, paper is fragile in certain aspects, and strong in others. I like to fold and pleat the paper, I trust the material; it always does what you want it to do" - Elisabeth Lecourt

Inside and outside
March 20 - May 1, 2012
This exhibition presents a dialogue between two different types of work. On one hand, German photographer Reinhard Goerner, is fascinated by the geometric abstraction of the inside of public monuments. His work reveals to the spectator the multiplicity of playful patterns that these spaces offer. On the other hand, the work of the Canadian painter Peter Hoffer shows a taste for natural landscapes, especially for the pattern of a Palm that the artist treats with precision and realism giving the paintings an aspect of erstwhile photographs.
