France - Mixed Media

Born 1952, Saint Simon, France Jean-Pierre Rives is an internationally renowned sculptor, and painter, as well as a Hall of Fame rugby player. After retiring from rugby in the early 1980s, he discovered the work of sculptor Albert Feraud. Discussions with the artist inspired him to pursue his own art practice, working scraps of abandoned steel into fluid, curvaceous forms. In his frequently monumental work, the softness of the curve is juxtaposed against the hardness of the material. Rives says about his practice, "I always seek to bring 'lightness' to the ‘heavy'; romanticism and poetry to the rigid; and sculpt an industrial masterpiece that harnesses innovation with energy. My sculptures are pieces of reality: their rust marks a measure of time, honouring the past while celebrating the future." Rives has exhibited his work in galleries, museums, and public spaces around the world including the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris (an honour previously held exclusively by Rodin), Sculpture by the Sea (a renowned international public sculpture exhibition in Sydney, Australia), and Dag Hammarskjold...

Mixed media montage titled 'Salut aux Eskimos' ( Hello to the Eskimos ) by French artist Armand Avril, signed, dated 2009 and titled to the reverse. This mixed media montage fully demonstrates Avril's inspiration drawn from Inuit art whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the techniques and materials used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, plywood, acrylic paint and nails. The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out to around 1.5cm from the frame. The piece includes the artists favourite motifs of the French flag, fish and skulls. Avril's work will always make you smile as the images he produces are joyous and light and explode with great energy. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril, was a painter and collector of African art. At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence. Avril could always be seen equipped with a sketchbook and a book on the history of art whilst tending his flock. It was not until the age of 30, in 1956, that Armand embarked on painting as an autodidact, influenced by Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and the Lyonnaise School of Painting. He exhibited for the first time in 1957. In 1960, he left for a one-year trip to Africa. There he met the painter Jean Arène who introduced him to the village of Cotignac in the Var and to Louis Pons...

Abstract Expressionist mixed media montage titled 'Danse Squelettes' by French artist Armand Avril, signed and dated 2002 bottom centre and signed, dated and titled with explanation of the inspiration of this piece to the reverse. Avril's inspiration here is drawn from an exhibition in the Grand Palais de Paris called, 'la mort n'en saura rien' in 1999/2000 in which works come together from across four continents to explore man's differing perspectives on death in different cultures. As always this mixed-media is created with the humour and joy and abandon that the artist puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image. This montage is made on a flour sack with applied cardboard and acrylic paint. The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out to around 1.5cm from the frame. The piece includes the artist's favourite motifs of cats and skulls. Avril's work will always make you smile and has great energy. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon.

The work is signed and dated to the reverse and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This montage fully demonstrates Avril's geometric period whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the everyday objects used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, plywood, oil paint, acrylic, bottle top and nails . The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out up to 3cm from the frame.

Gérard Cambon was born in 1960 in Toulouse (Fr). He has a degree in political science and is a self-taught artist. In the earlier years of his life practiced and experimented with collage and model making. Later, with an interest in old machines and patinas he started collecting old and used objects, tools, and fragments of items whose previous lives remained obvious. When he travels, one of his greatest pleasures is to find materials in antique shops or ironmongeries. In 1994, he began creating Locomobiles and reliefs and presented them to the public for the first time at “La Jeune Peinture,” a Parisian art fair. In 1995 , he stayed during 8 months in the hospital for eight months (leukaemia) where he began preparing and creating plans for new Locomobiles and reliefs. As his health improved, he committed himself to his artwork and during the same year met a Parisian gallery owner who decided to organize a solo show for him, Le Galerie Beatrice Soulie in Saint Germain des Pres. He has shown his work since 1996 in Paris and since 2000 in the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle). He is currently being shown by galleries in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg , Denmark, and the United States. He keeps on trying out new materials (fabric, leather, glass, plants, metals,…) that he integrates into his bas-reliefs: traction engines...

Imposing and very large scale mixed media 'assemblage' by French artist Armand Avril. The work includes the French tricolour flag, figures and heads in various poses, his symbolic cat sculptures and large stylised poppies. The work is not signed but comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist. This montage fully demonstrates Avril's inspiration drawn from tribal art whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work. A very strong sculptural image and a feast for the eyes in searching for and recognising the everyday objects used in making this piece come alive. This montage is made from wood pieces, bottle tops, string, paint, cork, nails buttons, clothes pegs and netting. The more sculpted areas of the piece stand out up to 4cm from the frame. Armand Avril was born in 1926 in Lyon. His father, Marcel Avril was a painter and collector of African art. At 16 Armand became an apprentice shepherd in Provence.

These four plaques represent either domestic (a horse, two rams) or exotic animals (a rhinoceros and an elephant). Made on slate slabs cut to shape (a rectangle with concave angles), they are all based on the same narrative scheme: in a frame of Egyptian porphyry, an animal in multicoloured marble is represented advancing on a green marble floor, standing out against a black slate background. These plates were made in Italy, probably in Florence or in Rome, during the 18th century. We think that their primary purpose was to decorate the drawers of a cabinet. Like many other compositions in hard stone, these plaques were inspired by engravings that were a widespread decorative repertoire in the workshops. Three of the plaques presented here were directly inspired by works by Antonio Tempesta (1555 - 1630): the Rhinoceros, the Polish Horse...

Mixed media on canvas

"Art is transformation" Art is the purpose of art as love is the purpose of love.« Heinrich Heine Ines Hildur starts her paintings intuitively, without any preconceived programme. From the subconscious things occur, which she cannot predetermine. The artist does not convert these inner pictures to specific things. With a special feeling for rhythm and through subtile color sounds she tells about free, associative picture stories. The works exude tranquillity, clarity and sensuality. The visible aesthetic sensitivity has a suggestive power, which captivates the observer. If you get involved in these pictures – in the colored moods, the symbolic, fragile lines, symbols – they appear to be the beginning of a story, which the observer can continue in his imagination. At the trans-lation into the terms of language, however, something mysterious remains, which cannot be translated. The painter apparently leaves the processes for the creation of the painting: color layers overlay each other, lines are covered and released again, used papers are stuck onto the work. The artist describes her way of painting like this: » violations at places of change are connected, sewed, covered in a varnishing way, shine through like under a wax layer or can still haptically be realised. Special importance is attached to the picture passages, which appear to be particularly successful, they support their environment – are significant for fringe areas, however, can also lose their function again during the working process and have to be given up – sometimes this is quite painful like the loss of a good friend.« She discovers special beauty in apparently everyday things. This can be a crumbling wall, moss between concrete slabs, traces of transience. Due to this special talent of perception the artist converts her impressions to compact pictures, which sometimes remind me of releasing layers, preserving a certain state, which could quickly disappear: also the forms of cocoon are ambiguous, a cocoon for wrapping something up, giving protection and security – or are they projectiles reaching new shores? In an environment of over-stimulation the artist wants to train our ability of perception to see things in a new way. For several years she has been communicating the interrelation between painting and seeing at the private art school Wameling Richon in Baden near Zurich. The painter and architect Ines Hildur – this is her pseudonym – belongs to the cross-border artists, to whom one attributes a special open view due to the different fields of activity. Since 1991 she has intensively been occupying herself with painting. By encountering the Berlin film-maker and painter Jürgen Böttcher Alias Strawalde, the Vienna painter Gunter Damisch and the artist couple Nancy Spero and Leon Golub at the renowned Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg she received particularly lasting ideas and stimuli. In the meantime the artist, who presently lives in Leipzig, shows her individual and group presentations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. The paintings of Ines Hildur appear to be very open, they invite to discuss about them. Perhaps it will be a dialogue between her expectations and those aspects you can find here. You can take up this trace if you want to come closer to the secret behind the obvious things, which works of art always have for us. Andrea Richter-Mahlo I Art Historian I Leipzig. Ines Hildur is born in Freiberg / Saxonia in Germany She studied architecture at the University Dresden from 1977 to 1982. In 1991 she study Arts in the Arts School of Fine Arts & Design and in the International Summer Academies of Fine Arts Saarbrücken Living and working in Leipzig as an Artist Painter she still working as an Architect and Interior Designer in Dresden, Saarbrücken, Salzburg and Leipzig since 1982 and Temporarily in Saint Paul De Vence - Cote d'Azur Teaching free painting at serval academies of Fine arts since 2002 .

Mounted and presented in a custom built painted tray frame and signed and dated 2004 both front and back with a later sketch of his favourite dog Dimar in repose to the reverse. This montage fully demonstrates Avril's inspiration drawn from tribal art and Gaugin's famous painting of a Tahitian nude whilst also expressing the humour and joy that he puts into all his work.

1969 Inclusion of paint tubes in the resin. Signed and located NY on the bottom left. Unique piece. Referenced in the Denyse Durand-Ruel Archives under N ° 8910. Registered at the Arman Studio in New York City under the APA # 8013.69.180. Arman is a Franco-American artist best known for his unique style of found object sculpture known as accumulations. Inspired by the philosophy and aesthetics of Dadaism, he brings together forks, instruments and teapots in display cases. A member of Nouveau Réalisme alongside Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely, among others, he responds to the emergence of Pop art through his own critique of consumption, waste and mass production, particularly in his series "Poubelles" in the early 1960s. For his famous and monumental sculpture "Long-Term Parking" (1982), the artist piles up 60 cars...
