Thursday September 10, cocktail to discover our exhibition at PHILIPPE HUREL:

Association of chromies, textures, opposition or analogies of shapes, each work resonates with the high-quality pieces of furniture from Philippe Hurel's 2020 collection, at 4 Rue du Bouloi, 75001 Paris, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Philippe Hurel, designer of exceptional furniture called on Amelie, Maison d'Art - embodied by Amélie du Chalard - to enhance his new collection of furniture. Among more than a hundred contemporary artists that she represents, Amélie du Chalard has chosen some of the works of painters, sculptors, visual artists and photographer.

The values ​​shared by the two Houses, the love of materials, the diversity of disciplines, the discovery of talents, the attachment to the gesture of the hand and to creation, ensure a common thread between Amélie, Maison d'art and Philippe Hurel.

Association of colors, textures, opposition or analogies of shapes, each work resonates with the high-quality pieces of furniture from Philippe Hurel's 2020 collection. With this unique installation, the visitor is immersed in different domestic and artistic worlds of invigorating modernity.

LA FORME is "the link" between three our artists. 

You can feel this link in all its states: structure, regularity and geometry with Christophe Gravis ;it fits and superimposes itself in works by Frédéric Cimolai and it  finds itself refined and minimalistic at Anouk Albertini's sculptures.

And just like this, all in their own way, they answer each other perfectly, in colour and in harmony. It is surprising to see them complement and soften in the same formal movement.

Christophe Gravis does not paint the painting but composes it in ordered and rigorous constructions associating, prepared collages. The artist plays colors and overlays to trap the eye in simple montages that do not require a reading but just to see.

With Frédéric Heurlier Cimolai: on the contrary, we paint the painting, we feel it, we guess the drawing of the brush, accentuated by the use of the tempera. This makes it possible to obtain unique materials and colors - an explosive manganese blue or a bright fir tree.
Most of the time the forms gather in the central area of ​​the painting and sometimes they invade the canvas in a delightful entanglement. The bottom also has its importance, whitewashed, united, it allows to vibrate or float the forms.

Anouk Albertini focuses on the simplicity of forms, elementary, timeless and universal. Her abstract sculptures are reduced to solid forms, earth or limestone, polished and white as snow, which suggest couples or families. The elements are either assembled in the material or composing and we enjoy to move them: we have the feeling of shape.
