Flatness in pictorial art

July 3, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

“It has been established by now, it would seem, that the irreducibility of pictorial art consists in but two constitutive conventions or norms: flatness and the delimitation of flatness. In other words, the observance of merely these two norms is enough to create an object which can be experienced as a picture: thus a stretched or tacked-up canvas already exists as a picture – though not necessarily as a successful one.”

Clement Greenberg, “After Abstract Expressionism” (1962)

Schemes Gallery artist Eric Bourdon

May 22, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment


Eric Bourdon creates new and attractive characters in just a few improvised strokes, in a pop style, symbolic and full of emotions, colours and joy.

A work that will interest as much the old as it will please the young, with these comic paintings and very sharp acrylic colors.

The Schemes Gallery in Lille, France, represents Eric Bourdon since more than ten years, and Bicha Gallery has begun to show his works in London and internationally.

 

The Schemes Gallery is located at 27 rue de l’Hôpital Militaire in Lille.

Open from Wednesday to Saturday 1pm-6:30pm.

Underground station: République.

Mark Ryden

March 20, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

What can a very contemporary crazy minded artist paint using old-school ultra-classical figurative techniques? Mark Ryden (from Los Angeles) is a painter as Stephen King is a writer, so much that he could very adequatly make the cover of his books. Old style & modern mind are pushed in his works at extreme quality and articulation, as nobody else can do it.

Schemes Gallery

March 11, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

Established more than thirty years ago by Jean-François Parmentier, the Schemes Gallery has been entirely renovated by Didier Dewulf to become today the biggest art gallery north of Paris.

In there you’ll find the greatest figurative painters in the region, the ‘onirics’ and ‘symbolists’ whose drawing is sometimes much more refined – but no pure ‘abstract’; a few major sculptors, and also some very nice authentic wooden Indian furniture, at amazing prices (directly imported by the gallery).

Welcoming families as well as collectors (whatever their budget or experience might be) or just ordinary tourists and curious, you’ll be warmly received by the Schemes Gallery and will get the best advice from its staff.

The Schemes Gallery is located at 27 rue de l’Hôpital Militaire in Lille.

Open from Wednesday to Saturday 1pm-6:30pm.

Underground station: République.

Photography: Rousdine

January 18, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

Without taking anything else into consideration but the sensitivity and the accuracy that Dorine Roussel offers us in these photographs, we were touched by the work of this young photographer from Lille, who often looks at the integration of the body of her models into their environment.

First and fine exhibition at the Superior School of Communication (esupcom) in May 2008 in Lille.

Theatre / Performance: Antoine Defoort

January 17, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

Antoine Defoort is a (very) funny variety show artist frequently making – in French – his shows near Lille (see his programming on his website, ‘agenda’ page).

And he’ll be even more funny for you if you don’t speak French, because you won’t make the mistake of thinking the matter of his thoughts is so trivial and artificial that you could simply come, see, hear, understand them and leave…

You’ll be like a little kid, discovering the world with fresh eyes and ears, not able to make any kind of real mistake, yet… and not understanding a lot, but just looking at the show, and not having done the first and worst mistake of all: thinking that you know what life (& art) is…

Thibault Isabel: pessimism in art

January 14, 2011 | by | Leave a Comment

Thibault Isabel sees all modern art forms as so many symptoms of the diseases afflicting society. Doctor in film studies, he gave us in “The Field of Possibles” (“Le Champ du Possible”, 2005) the intellectual outline of a ‘psychology of art’ which would attempt to reconcile art and life. In “The End of Century of American Cinema” (“La Fin de Siècle du Cinéma Américain”, 2006), Thibault Isabel investigates the causes of what he considers to be the decline of a contemporary society without a credible perspective of remission, through their reflections on the screens of the seventh art. Finally, with “The Paradox of Civilization” (“Le Paradoxe de la Civilisation”, 2010), he will pronounce himself for the return of old forms of violence, and their paradoxical integration into a ‘civilizing process’…
