Spirale Nout
By Evelyne Ballestra
Located in Miami, FL
Her work with signs, symbols and esoteric spirituality reflects her passion for the ancient past and represents a symbolic return to the ground from which we emerged. Her work creates a commentary about “beginnings” and the transmission of signs and emotions through visual elements evoking a spiritual essence to our scientific notion of etymology. After studying 0under Rolf Dürig...

The umbrella by Gilbert Pauli - Oil on canvas 61x46 cm
By Gilbert Pauli
Located in Geneva, CH
Born in 1944 in the canton of Fribourg, Gilbert Pauli currently lives in Geneva, where he devotes himself to painting and sculpture, a passion he developed from his childhood. His favorite theme is the dialogue between the human being and his creator.
Gilbert Pauli's messages are universal, without any racial, religious or even cultural reference, with the sole purpose of love for man.
From 1986, he worked relentlessly and in a self-taught way to discover the different painting and sculpture techniques: first gouache, followed by dry pastel. These lead him to watercolor, and oil, through charcoal and acrylic.
He died in Geneva in 2020 and the Gijsel Gallery...

Le triomphe de la mort, 2000, oil on canvas by Jean Jansem
By Jean Jansem
Located in Les Acacias GE, GE
Jean Jansem (1920-2013)
Le triomphe de la mort, 2000
Huile sur toile
Signée en bas à gauche et à droite
150 x 200 cm
Bibliographie:
Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem.
Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem
Historique:
L’indigence d’après-guerre et la difficulté inhérente de trouver les matériaux adéquats et/ou habituels, telles les couleurs, très onéreuses alors, ont poussé les artistes figuratifs de l’après-guerre, en corrélation avec les préoccupations de l’époque, à redéfinir les paradigmes de la représentation.
Il n’est plus question de chercher un sens mais bien pour les artistes d'étudier l’objet pour son intérêt formel, sa qualité intrinsèque. Le regard de l’artiste devient analytique et dépeint alors l’objet pour ce qu’il est et non plus pour son pouvoir évocateur ou symbolique.
La nature morte n’est plus une invitation sensuelle à la ripaille, la pomme ou la pêche n’évoque aucune envie de croquer, la cruche aucune ivresse, la volaille...
