JOHANNE 8

JOHANNE 8

Johanne 8 ; A name that resonates like a lucky charm when one knows the symbolic meaning of the number attached to the first name of this young artist from Lyons. After a career in aeronautics, she decided to return to her passion for everyday life.

Artist inspired by Liberty, Johanne 8 speaks about society, violence, sexuality, the suffering of people, their little happiness, their smallness in a style inspired by comics, mangas, graff and Pop-Art.

In his paintings, there are many references to the memories of his childhood, to the characters who accompanied him like the superheroes, the American pulps and comics of the 50s, Hello Kitty, Walt Disney but also many winks to US, logos, pubs and all its inspirations from the street …

Johanne 8 was born in Lyon in 1974. She lives and works today in Paris.

It is the curiosity of the world and cultures that takes JOHHANNE 8 on the paths of art. Everywhere she paints, writes and sticks from her earliest age. These many journeys she makes will impregnate in her mind the strong images that are found today in these paintings.

It is especially during a passage in New York that JOHANNE 8 discovers Basquiat. It is an emotional and artistic shock for her, which will now plunge into North American urban culture.

This is how the artist defines himself today as an heiress of Bad Painting, a movement of American graffiti artists. She joined the young artistic movement of “Street Pop” which she shared with other artists like Benjamin Spark, young and talented Belgian artist.

When Johanne 8 returns to settle in Paris, it is to dedicate herself fully to her first love: she writes scenarios for cinema and television. At the same time, she took over the brushes and exhibited paintings where the diversity of the techniques used goes hand in hand with the plurality and the proliferation of visual codes.

Johanne 8 conjugates images, mingled with words, in order to transcribe its inner bubbling and the variety of its artistic and cultural references. It allows the viewer to wonder about his own cultural mosaic, about what constitutes today our mixed identities.

Discovered by a first Parisian gallery in the Marais district, the artist now exhibits his paintings in France and abroad.

The ready-to-wear brand Paul & Joe even asked her to design a basketball model for their Men’s Autumn / Winter 2009/2010 collection ….

Laurence Nolleau

Laurence NOLLEAU excels in the art of contemporary incisive portrait …

Born in 1963, Laurence Nolleau traveled from an early age and discovered, through his parents’ business trips, the light of the Middle East and North Africa.

Protracted stopover in Algeria will create a deep friendship between the family of Laurence and Joan Bachs Spanish painter and former curator of the museum in Barcelona. Laurence, who was then 6 years old is already passionate about drawing. There is no doubt that this meeting has been instrumental in his career.

Her attraction to art manifests itself initially through drawing. Back in France, Laurence follows a dual training as a designer-model ESMOD Paris, She receives from the hands of Jean Louis DUMAS-HERMES, the third price model.

His first apprenticeship at DIOR in 1987, overseas missions for the group BOUSSAC and works in collaboration with French brands such as Caviar, Zapa …

The career of Laurence NOLLEAU sits upon becoming Director of collections for Europe an Australian brand, a position she held until 2001.

In 2002 it was the turn, Laurence decided to give free rein to his artistic vocation and leaves the field of fashion to shut herself in his painting studio.

Only after 8 years of exploration work and technique that the artist decides to offer his work to art Gallery.

Oil, a revelation, memory material that keeps track of every move of the artist who incises, cuts, cuddles, scrapes the paint on the canvas. Armed of her knife, Laurence sculpt her faces with energy to deliver us impactful graphic works. The colors are bright and intense, hypnotic eyes, the striking portraits : expressionism takes here is meaning.

“The truth without compromise still has jagged edges,” said the American writer Herman Melville.

STRATOS

STRATOS

It was in 1953 that Charles STRATOS was born in Avignon, in this FRANCE

chosen by his grandfather, GREC of origin, a tailor.

From the age of I4 years he meets the art world in an architectural firm, discipline to which it is formed.

He will then take conscience of the aesthetics of the beautiful line and thus will develop in him the creative fiber that will never leave him.
Thus is born the form designer, assembler characters springing from his brush with this bright red, bright yellow, the blue and the black so deep that will identify all silhouettes- mother child, couples, musicians ….. all source of life, this life so precious to share, altruistic message of the artist who will give everything.

The route will lead to the sculptures, which will succeed the paintings come and stand in his world, monumental and smooth, metal and caressing, entangled silhouettes that skim, touch, musicians on cello that we listen that means and these nested couples entwined with their closely related head that suggest to us to dream, we listen to their silence.

STRATOS is that flies, like him loudly hand, we fly away with him in this magical world of childhood, like to take this time given by the artist to dive into this world of serene tranquility in the dream world of childhood that we must one day leave; may we keep it, make room in our hearts that is the miracle of STRATOS with its flamboyant world of colorful and starry sky with all its characters that we tend their hands and then these metal shades that rise to the clouds and we roll gently …. it emerges from all this as an exhilarating scent that will make us happy really happy.
