This work is sourced directly from the artist. Butterflies cut from International Currency and gold foil, arranged in the shape of a target, and pinned with stainless steel entomology pins to canvas. Framed in a white, wooden frame. About Charles Patrick Charles Patrick is best known for his intricately cut paper butterflies, suspended like museum specimens on individual entomology pins and clustered together to form icons, logos, and symbols against the backdrop of pristine canvases. Living in a world between the paper and digital ages, these works conjure feelings of nostalgia for the tactility of paper, created from vintage comic books, children’s books, currency, maps, and other obsolete ephemera. This stands in jarring contrast to the clean, pixelated designs that the butterflies form which exchange individual emotion for the universal immediacy of today’s contemporary visual language. Targets, hearts, ohms, and stars pop from the canvas in three-dimension - a fresh departure from the flat screens that are the norm today. With a background in vintage poster restoration, illustration, and printmaking, Charles Patrick combines his love of paper, art history, and design to create works that are both strikingly beautiful and poignantly thought-provoking.

Annick b. Cuadrado, a French artist, born and working in Paris, introduces in her works of art the most famous products of our consumer life. She has convinced the owners of the most famous brands and logos in the world of her original and creative approach to such brands. A difficult task knowing the legal means of such owners to protect their brands. Annick b. Cuadrado enjoys interpreting and diverting, with elegance, vigor and humor, the well-known candies, soft drinks, washing powders. The image and memory of these products and brands is an actual appeal to our taste buds : Coca-Cola, Hollywood chewing-gum, Tagada strawberries, Car en Sac, Marshmallows, Haribo Dragibus, Carambar, Malabar, Krema candies, Danone etc… Acrylic painting on canvas or plexiglas, paintings, collages or forms : Annick b. Cuadrado re-discovers our weaknesses in big formats. The multiplication and repetition of the various themes interpreted by the artist (Vache qui Rit, Cachou Lajaunie, Coca-Cola), echo our child’s remembrances. « I love the shelves of the hypermarkets with all their cans, boxes and packaging of all kinds of colors and transparencies, which speak, better than words, to the memory of our childhood » says Annick b. Cuadrado. Her pictorial approach, very entertaining and « rock and roll », smells the rolls and sticks of candies and liquorice. It sounds like a song of Souchon and reminds the best of pop-art, new realism...
