Paulina Archambault
Portrait with red nose

2023

About the Item

In her portraits, Paulina Archambault (1976, lives and works in Viriginia/USA) searches for the purest human emotions. To do so, she likes to reach back to her childhood. By being as honest and intimate as possible in the process herself, she wants to revive those genuine emotions. While each new work starts with a few rough contours based on an abstract idea, Archambault polishes and tinkers with each image until it is just right. It is to this layering that the work owes its depth and expressive power. The acrylic paint allows her to work in both thicker and just more transparent layers, and to apply texture to the canvas through unconventional tools. Although the frontal portraits sometimes appear terrifying, for Paulina Archambault they primarily express melancholy and childlike innocence. The dark eyes give them a mysterious aura, raising questions about a deeper truth.

A sincere dream Mohammad Ariyaei Contemporary Iranian art painting oriental art
By Mohammad Ariyaei
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic paint on paper Hand-signed by the artist Unique work THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS OF MOHAMMAD ARIYAEI " Gentleness and oriental wisdom follow the supercharged bubbling to which we were accustomed from the previous deliberately art brut exhibition by Mohammad ARIYAEI. The Iranian painter's imagination moves serenely from the wildest frenzy to the meditative calm of great, fabulous stories. The artist then took pleasure in pouring the volcanic torrent of his barbaric figures onto the delicate latticework with which he is accustomed to lining his backgrounds with the patience of an illuminating monk. Already sweetness and paroxysm coexisted. Now gentleness wins. The trained imagination of the painter, yet spontaneously bubbling, by instinct as much as by erudition, has no difficulty in reconnecting with the abundant oriental tradition of the thousand and one nights, which, like a long underground river, resurfaces at the light of his painting. Spring renewal of traditions still alive. Systematic filling of space, a sort of oriental version of the Riches Heures...
