About the Item

Mathias Schmied is a Franco-Swiss artist born in Bern in 1976. He is a graduate from the NationalSchool of Fine Artsin Lyon. He lives and works in Paris.Mathias Schmied has been cutting things out forever.Cutting out comic strips, vintage pin-up posters, spray painted sheets of paper, cutting out metal.Through the action of cutting out, he uncovers a second narrative, one that plays on theambiguity of words and meaning. In “Les Ruines”, his wordsfirst strike like a slogan. Then we are taken away, swiftly moving on to the poetic narrative of the cut-out void. The absence becomes the subject.The artist has long moved on from the need for the perfect cut, where cutting out a form with utmost precision is paramount and where any minute error would lead to rejecting the entire piece. He uses his savoir-faire, this other way of drawing, to achieve the very specific effects he has been seeking. His complex technique serves to convey a multitude of meanings and interrogations, sometimes just an atmosphere; melancholia, anger, vanity, sometimes a political message, a pretence, a paradox.It is a moving experience to witness how all the characters in “Les Ruines” series come together to compose the words Point de ruptureor On the edge of nothingwhen once under the illusion that they had been thrown out randomly on the floor.Lost Infloats on top of Your Pictureand yet both rise up from the same unique piece of paper. The unique phrase is repeated ad nauseam, like a 3D illusion that emerges beyond its actual meaning, playing its initial plastic role.The phrase unites, reveals and conceals, at times lighting up, at times obscuring.The unique experience of a violent poetry where shadows hide the ghosts of laughter, cries and chants which materialise within the void of fragmented pin-ups.From empty comic strip frames standing out to a frensy of lines and empty space -Never say goodbye-Mathias Schmied is one of France’s most remarkable and inspiring artists, certainly one of the most talented., Up, please shut..

Youri Leroux comes from the North of France, a region whose landscapes have seduced so many artists. Born in 1972, now married with three children, he is characterised by his reserve, his typical northern France inwardness and his sentimental attachment to his family and his origins. From a very young age, he showed great interest in art and any thing that gave free reign to his imagination. He attended classes offered by painting workshops At the age of sixteen, he went to the Saint-Luc Institute in Tournai (Belgium) where he studied new arts teaching and met famous artists. He later attended architecture and design classes. After gaining his diploma in 1999, he joined an architect’s office in Lille (France) where he worked principally with volume, colours and the enhancement of light. His first exhibition was held at Le Masquerel (France) and included fifteen artists. He sold his first paintings. The highlights of 1997 and 1998 were his wedding and the birth of his first child. His painting evolved, his work focused more on the curves of the female body and the plumpness, sensuality, shapes and shadows that it emanate. After traveling in North Africa, be began to focus on his backing material – sand was a very successful and impressive medium, giving the viewer the urge to approach and caress his paintings. In 2000, he traveled to New York, where he feasted on verticality and asymmetries that were in sharp contrast to his supple work on the female body. In early 2001, encouraged by true art lovers and the success of his paintings, he left his job as an architect to devote himself to his art. He subsequently applied these geometric ideas in a literary theme, more intimate and reassuring – perspectives, depth, repetitions, an enormous library or just three books with straight lines and the effects afforded by contrasting materials. Looking out from his open workshop, many things inspire him. Through the lovely Breton coast, he reveals to us his third pictorial theme – the combination of feminine curves and asymmetric libraries suggest old sailboat...

Ben Abounassif was born in Caracas in 1964 to Lebanese parents. He graduated from Tennessee Tech University in 1987 with a B.A. in Business Management. Abounassif's first contact working in the art world was in 2006 when he launched Leiter Gallery in Miami, a short but successful experience as a co-owner working along with Cuban-born, Miami-based artist Sinuhe Vega Leiter, and Venezuelan-born internationalist & journalist, Jesus Rojas Torres. Abounassif's innate creativity was highly influenced by working closely with local artists and by visiting their studios and launching exhibitions at Leiter's, the only gallery in the U.S. that paid a living tribute to the late Cuban musician, Israel “Cachao" López. A year later in 2007, Abounassif exhibited his first art cube on Photo Miami '07 with Hardcore Contemporary Art in Wynwood. In 2008, Miami art dealer...
