For its February 2017 exhibition, entitled Derri\u00e8re la Mer<\/i> , the Galerie de Beuil is pleased to welcome two young contemporary artists whose debuts are hailed by critics.<\/span><\/p>\nThe exhibition is organized in partnership with the Eva Vautier Gallery in Nice.<\/span><\/p>\nAnne-Laure WUILLAI<\/b> (born in Versailles in 1987) Course: ENS Cachan. <\/span><\/p>\nGraduated from the University of Quebec. Graduated from the National School of Fine Arts in Paris. <\/span><\/p>\nAnne-Laure Wuillai deconstructs the daily structures that govern our lives: diaries, calendars, school notebooks, grids, schedules,… in order to give back its place to the human. The banal objects that she installs are so many challenges to our body, that is to say to what looks but is also looked at, to what sees but does not see itself (except in a mirror). Playing with norms and the normative, she traces the paradox of our presence in the world, a presence torn between freedom and constraint, the self and the other.<\/span><\/p>\nwww.annelaure-wuillai.com<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nBeno\u00eet BARBAGLI<\/b> (born in Nice in 1988) Background: Graduate of Villa Arson. Photographer, performer, traveler.<\/span><\/p>\nBarbagli’s work is a performative work, that is to say a staging of both himself and sea and mountain landscapes. It is similar to Land Art, but a Land Art that would reveal a deep spirituality. By involving certain gestures or certain positions of his own body in all its purity and nudity, his photographs speak a metaphorical and symbolic language. With it, we are caught up in the vibrations of the cosmos and we penetrate into the memory of the world. \u201cThe soul is a function of the body,\u201d said Darwin.<\/span><\/p>\nwww.benoit-barbagli.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nIn the exhibition<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nShape of a Mountain<\/h3>\n
Shape of the Mountain is a project initiated in Nepal, through a trek around the Annapurna range of the second Himalayan massif.
\nAn inkjet of a cliff onto a canvas below.
\nThe fall of the ink and the aspect of the ground form the sacred imprint of this vertical earth which captures from the mountain its vertigo and its fall, its geological time and its limitless space. The fertile mountain gives birth to the substrate which is deposited on the canvas: the wood which grows on it thus becomes ink.<\/p>\n
Vision of the sublime in Kant, it exceeds the capacity of the human mind to think it, to represent it. This is how the artist’s gesture disappears to let its formal singularities express themselves.
\nIn a meditative Zen momentum, it recalls the approach of Chinese calligraphers who seek in their gesture the feeling of emptiness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
