This contemporary art piece features a striking blue illustration of a bird-like creature against a white background, enclosed within a rough, transparent frame. The artwork employs a minimalist style, with the figure composed of simple geometric shapes and patterns. The bird-like figure, with its distinctive beak and elongated limbs, is rendered in a stylized, almost abstract manner, suggesting a symbolic or metaphorical interpretation. The use of negative space and the transparent frame create an intriguing interplay between the depicted subject and the surrounding environment. This artwork likely reflects the artist's exploration of themes related to nature, symbolism, or the relationship between organic and geometric forms. ...
Born in 1962 in La Châtre, Richard Fauguet lives and works in Châteauroux. Since his debut at the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux, the artist has proposed a protean work – drawings, collages, rubbings, sculptures – that often works in series or periods guided by the use of a particular material. One recalls the paper silhouettes, burnt sheets, glass installations, or more recently postcards with pouring spouts. Richard Fauguet combines a variety of universes and imaginaries that may seem antagonistic at first sight. The great masters of art history, his so called “buddies”, are often summoned (Picasso, Degas, Giacometti, etc.) and forced to get involved with some figures issued from popular culture and our collective imagination (Mr. Clean or Darth Vader for example). Using simple materials such as tape, clay, empty shells and found objects, Richard Fauguet revisits the so-called classical genres, portraiture and landscapes alike. He thus proposes a renewed aesthetic that blurs the lines and transcends the traditional divide between high and low culture. ...
To avoid any narcissism the gallery will not bear a name, but instead mark of the end of a century during which the Fine Arts are exhausted of unknown practices and forms, Art: Concept was born. In 1997, the gallery joined its friends in the 13th district of Paris to be part of the adventure of the brand new rue Louise Weiss. Despite unforgettable years in this district, the move to the Marais was inevitable. Today, the gallery is located in a private passage (passage Sainte Avoye) and represents artists with whom it has been working for 25 years as well as young graduates. Trying to reflect the evolution of society, the gallery emphasises its proposals in a multi-faceted reflection on individuality and collectivity in a wide range of contexts. Like Janus, it looks both to the past and the future. Today's world is so in need of reference points that it's reassuring to invent a future, thanks to artists, as well as to compare it to the past. We invite you to ask for it, we will be at the gallery, very happy to explain it to you. ...
