FOCUS – Nelly Lim
Born in Paris in 1980, Nelly Lim is an artist of Chinese origin to both parents.

Exhibition «GRID TERRAIN» by Shawn Serfas
Shawn Serfas identifies himself primarily as a ‘landscape painter’ influenced by the concept of ‘relational abstraction’ often referred to as ‘associative abstraction’. This approach to art-making is concerned with the extraction of the experiential nature of both material and subliminal environments. Here, an interesting dichotomy arises: the modality of the concept based on the associative ‘understanding’ of abstract pictorial propositions allows the viewers to find the references to some sort...

Exhibition «EAU» by Robin Cerutti
Montreal-based photographer Robin Cerutti captures alluring underwater portraits in his series titled Mirrors. The images, photographed in vibrant, crystal-clear pools, were shot sideways. This simple rotation creates a strong visual impact; the water no longer floats above Cerutti’s models. Instead, it faces them directly, as if they’re about to walk through a surreal, liquid portal, towards another universe. “By capturing the moment, the instant, I reveal the optical properties of the...

Exhibition’Without colors, I don’t exist’ by Viviane Case-Fox
The colors of Case-Fox transport us into a world of flavors; in a world of contrasts where the spontaneity of the composition becomes allegorical and where the obstinate and relentless strokes of the brush and spatula have created a fine balance for the eye: the artist demonstrates a great force of will in her desire to communicate: it is the spur that has lead her to create works that are...

Exhibition ‘Flow’ by Claude Le Blanc
The flow perceived as a stemflow, an influx or a process. We can choose to fight it, or to go with the flow and let it carry us. From an artistic point of view, it is the moment where the artist, as he creates, enters an ecstatic state. For Claude Le Blanc, barks have always been a symbol of change and transit, in the larger sense. May that transit be happy,...
