Honored for its aestheticism and for its captivating effect on the viewer, and despite the marginalization of his work that we often like to associate with kinetics, the work of Manuel Mérida remains of no less importance in the history of art. - Hervé Mikaeloff

Chiggio’s work is born from an intense dynamic of movements, from a kinesiology, in which lines, surfaces, directions, points of view alternate: real space is transformed into virtual space and vice versa. -Silvia Pegoraro 

In 2011, the artwork Struttura Visiva - Anelli alternati margini mobili BN was exhibited at the Centro Culturale Altinate / San Gaetano in Padova, Italy

Alexis Hayère is neither completely a painter nor absolutely a sculptor, but both at the same time. We could also say that the distinction between pictoriality and sculpturality, which plays a central role. in his practice, is what allows us to underline a broader creative logic, which has as its object real space and the thousand ways of investing it, of working in it, of conquering it. - Julien Verhaeghe

This year, the artwork Sans Titre T00 was exhibited at the gallery's 100th show.

Kevin Zabasky Perkins (b. 1987, Louisiana) is a self-taught artist based in Dallas, Texas who came to painting while teaching high school art. Kevin’s work ties back to his early interest and pursuit in the academic realm of Theology and longstanding fascination with perennial tradition’s use of mythic storytelling. Story in this capacity works as a kind of acupuncture for the spirt. The old tradition is to sit with a story and let it be the teacher. Kevin uses myth as a pathway to understand himself by looking at myth with an esoteric lens.

«I have tried to integrate all my experience as a sculptor into my paintings. I remain above all a sculptor who works in space». - Jean-Claude Reussner, 2016 

For me, Abstraction is a place of collective and personal memories, experiences and emotions. I'm a poet, a composer and an Old Master's son. As a contemporary artist, tradition is my ally and my enemy. I'm interested in the directness of Expressionism, the clarity of Hard Edge and the precision of the Renaissance painters. Through a long, systematic and intuitive process, then, I aim to reflect the meaning of every brushstroke within the whole: anything matters here. - Richard Schur

 

Sensitive and sober, the work of Ugarte is the fruit of a coherent reflection and a rigorous discipline. Based on the concept of structure, his paintings, executed on canvas and wood, reveal a simple configuration: the use of pure forms (square and rectangle) and the line in an alternative and repetitive way. Ugarte is developing a network of lines that cross the board horizontally, vertically and diagonally. The diagonal that he uses in a systematic way allows him to accentuate the dynamism of the work. Through this network of lines, orthogonal shapes determined by solid colors appear. 

Alongside her fascination with the industrial aesthetic and with emerging computer technology, Varisco immediately focused on the relationship that a work establishes with the viewer, trying to foster engagement through kinetic stimuli. - Stefano Mudu, “Grazia Varisco, Technologies of Enchantment, The Milk of Dreams”, curated by Cecelia Alemani, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, 2022 

Marina Apollonio’s artistic investigation focuses on creating perceptual stimuli through a combination of pure forms. - Stefano Mudu, “Marina Apollonio, Technologies of Enchantment, The Milk of Dreams”, curated by Cecelia Alemani, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, 2022 

“My process varies depending on the paintings and my subjects but I try to get as close as possible to a lived reality. I take a lot of photos, with my phone, my cameras. Some ideas come to me following a real-life situation, which I would like to intensify on the canvas, but very few are the result of pure invention. I try to escape from the accuracy of photography although for me it is a practical tool, it can sometimes be limiting. - Flora Temnouche
