About the Item

In his very Californian settings, Marius Messinese creates an environment that is both synthetic and realistic, halfway between seduction and intrigue. At the crossroads of different influences, he develops a restrained figuration which, despite the theme and the acidulous palette, tends towards a certain simplicity. The idyllic scenes of gardens, swimming pools and magazine interiors contain a more ambiguous interpretation than one might initially think. The emptiness and silence are palpable. The narrative, diffuse, discreet, simply suggested, and the subjacent dramaturgy that follows, places the spectator in a position of expectation and makes him say that the scene is maybe too banal, too calm to be normal. The few objects present, placed here and there, become simple "clues" of the human presence, thus underlining its obvious absence. The veneer peels away to give way to intimate drama. "Behind appearances, there is certainly some doubt, suffering, solitude", says the artist. Born in Marseille, France in 1987 in a family of textile designers, Marius Messinese successively touches music, writing and fashion. He graduated from a fashion school, specializing in the creation of patterns, but it is as a self-taught artist that he decides in 2018 to devote himself fully to painting, in which he finds his true means of expression.

The Blue Hour
Located in New York, NY
Born in Corsica, Cecile van Hanja spent her childhood in France before moving to the Netherlands as a child. Inspired by Piet Mondrian, the De Stijl movement, as well as her newfound home in the Netherlands, van Hanja found her calling. By focusing on straight lines and the patterns found in architecture, van Hanja became interested in finding order in a time of chaos. Van Hanja creates a rhythmical pattern of vertical and horizontal lines in her observation of architecture. A multi-colored labyrinth of overlapping planes are created in order to emphasize the immaterial aspect of a building. In juggling the ideas of irrationality and intuition, van Hanja is able to build depth in her works by layering thin layers of acrylic and oil paint. The multiple layers result in the underlying colors to be visible, and allows the architectural composition to not be static. Van Hanja wishes to give space to the individual through unique and handmade work. In her paintings, she perceives the houses and buildings as metaphors for the state of mind. The absence of human presence, a quiet stillness, and an interest in light allows for a story to form. The clear walls and floors with reflections on the opposite walls don’t give any footing and the perspective lines and vanishing points, like rational benchmarks lead to an irrational and intuitive way of thinking. Cecile van Hanja graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 1993. She is currently based in Haarlem, the Netherlands, and her work is included in private collections in France, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States. architecture, interior design, decoration, blue, linear, reflection, white, minimalism, cube, house, pool...
