Catherine Danou & Lili Delaroque

March 7 to 20, 2024

Catherine Danou

Catherine Danou doesn't check the boxes. Exiting or staying, these are the broad questions posed by her unfinished grids, covered with fingerprints, writings, indecipherable signs drawn by hand or brush. With this index of seemingly similar yet different stains, the former jurist upends the established order. Lokta, her preferred medium, aligns with her viewpoint: manufactured in the East of the Himalayas, this traditional Nepalese paper harbors strings she removes or duplicates, altering the trajectory of these lifelines. Hue and consistency vary with the rainy season: snow or coffee, frail or armed, the profile, never typical, guides her "music" played incessantly in a muted tone. Whether she manipulates the reverse side, whitens, or constructs the front, Danou economizes, discarding unnecessary gestures to make room for chance. Thus, her "coincidences," torn papers hastily assembled according to border agreements, tone disagreements. Her "retracted" palette is not devoid of colors: red and mint, blue and yellow form disjointed pairs here and there, whose harmony recalls the scores of Paul Klee, Nicolas de Staël. Elsewhere, the outrenoir of Soulages infuses its weaves, akin to the secret alphabets of Henri Michaux or Pierrette Bloch. For it's in the interval, where "the eye circulates," freed yet everywhere solicited, that the work speaks. Or more precisely, "whispers."

Lili Delaroque

In the earth, only her hands plunge, but her whole being drowns. Fishing is often good. For Lili Delaroque hauls up in her nets pearls by the thousands. Pale or brown, the color of sand or algae, these matte ceramic corollas seem to come from the depths of the seas. Each has its fragile form, its smooth curves, as if polished by the surf, perfectly imperfect. Lili Delaroque welcomes the accident: alive, her raw material stands up to her, docile when she's zen, rebellious when her mind wanders, her movements clumsy. So she ensures to maintain balance, that inner peace without which nothing happens. She who worships Japan, an ancient passion never faded, says she "honors" the clay she watches rise, dry, before threading it onto hemp strings, rusty metal, old linens, all kinds of found objects, natural and poor. Thus, this Japanese rope striped with beige and cobalt blue stoneware, twisted on the wall like a snake's molt. Or this makeshift Noren with tired cushions, "cakes" blown by the cream palette connected to each other by "pluses," profane crosses sewn at regular intervals. Traps or necklaces, these antiquities cultivate the art of the hand, an insular art, nourishing, that of origins. And invite to the motionless journey, memories of some rite, foretastes of a possible departure.

Amelie, Maison d'art x De La Espada

Anthony Guerrée

From January 18th to March 18th.

The objects designed by Anthony Guerrée for De La Espada explore craftsmanship and geometry in bold sculptural forms inspired by the designer's recurring dream of spending a starry night in Joshua Tree Park, contemplating the asterism of the Summer Triangle. Reflecting the designer's affinity for fine arts, design, and craftsmanship, the pieces showcase artistic lines and innovative craft techniques while providing comfort and functionality. "I am very proud and excited to exhibit my De La Espada works for the first time in my hometown, Paris. Furthermore, at Amelie Maison d’Art, which is my favorite art gallery in Paris. Organizing a furniture exhibition in an art gallery like Amelie Maison d’Art holds deep significance as it blurs the traditional boundaries between art and design. Each piece of furniture becomes a functional work of art, harmoniously merging aesthetics and utility," declares Anthony Guerrée. "Throughout our 30 years of activity, art has had a growing influence on us, particularly in terms of our perception of color and the few places where art and craftsmanship have intersected in recent art history, as seen in the work of Anni Albers. We are delighted to exhibit in this magnificent gallery and share the space with inspiring artists," adds Luis De Oliveira, co-founder of De La Espada.
