Carré d’artistes invites all art enthusiasts to embark on a wonderful journey to the rhythm of life. Just like every season, Carré d’artistes launches its new seasonal exhibition. Danser la vie (Dancing Life) will take place from March 1 until May 31, 2024.
Danser la vie is Carré d’artistes’ new seasonal exhibition, drawing inspiration from two mesmerizing paintings by David Jamin, where his subjects dance with vaporous grace and magnificent, roomy gesture. Staying true to the theme, Jamin often features dancers, musicians and dandies as the protagonists of his artistic narratives.
Alongside these two inspired figures in motion, our gallery walls showcase works that echo the same theme: Abelardo Hernandez’s canvases depict dancing colors engaged in an exotic Merengue beneath the warmth of the Caribbean sun. Naen’s ethereal brushstrokes craft a ballet in performance. Naï and Lionel Valot’s strokes waltz towards an imaginary suspended world. Virginie Schroeder’s syringes swing in a sinuous dance of her own technique. Bjerker’s and Lamboley’s brushes twirl in a dripping fashion. Daniel Castan’s knives slice through and stretch into luminous splits. As a former fashion designer, Gustavsen’s scissors tailor elegant chassé-croisé. Patrick Rousseau’s canvases perform prodigious entrechats, bridging the artistic realms of Paris and New York. Fady Chammas’ old houses draw gracious arabesques. Mona Nahle’s collages develop a stunning jeté plié. The tree leaves of Nada Kouyoumdjian stage some demi-pointes while falling, and Tatiana Stéphan’s alcohol ink produce pirouetting effects. All these articulate choreographies will be divinely accompanied by Marie Pierre Kühn on the piano, the jazzy moods of Martine Dechavanne aka Fauve and the melodious lyrics that exudes from Jessy Tabet’s urban landscapes.
That’s how Lina Sinno, Communications Director at Carré d’artistes, describes the mesmerizing exhibition that will take place, stating that Carré d’artistes pledges to dance through the canvas of life this season. “Be part of the enchantment,” she says. “We are eagerly waiting for you to watch this face to face. After all, it takes two to tango!”
