On May 6th, the Museaav hosted the opening of an exhibition featuring three contemporary artists.
Come discover three artists in the basement of the graphic factory at Museaav. In the disused setting of this venue open to contemporary art, the different styles of these three creators find full expression. The exhibition offers the opportunity to approach current art through three mediums: painting with Elana, photography with David de Franceschi, and sculpture with Jean-Charles Stora.
Elana
Elana is a poet, singer-songwriter, painter, and comes from the East. This influence is felt in her works. Her paintings, full of silence, are colorful figurative artworks. With large areas of vivid color, the painter creates landscapes, postures, and evokes still lifes with subtlety. Never aggressive, her works sometimes require time to reveal their full meaning after adjustment. Such is the case with “The Red Queen,” where one can make out the hieratic bearing of a woman in the tumult of red and yellow.
David de Franceschi
Against a black background, standing out from the black walls, David de Franceschi’s work leaves a strong impression. Through his lens, he scrutinizes the disembodied world of the factory. His still lifes are initially striking with their cold demeanor. Then the impression softens, and life illuminates the photos. David de Franceschi tracks nature reclaiming its rights or signs of a not-so-distant civilization.
Jean-Charles Stora
The sculptures by Jean-Charles Stora challenge simplicity. Placed in niches, they astonish with their lightness. Combining steel with stone, chalk, and wood, they return to primitive sensations. A balance through time and space. With their shimmering effects and play of shadows, the sculptures give voice to the material. Steel, through patient work, is tamed, sometimes offset by a sphere balancing its harshness. “Aubrac” and “Coquelicot” are two very successful figurative works, full of softness and fragility…
Don’t miss this exhibition that runs throughout the month, bringing a touch of refinement to this rough world…
