Gerard Rancinan Don't Kill your Brother
From February 11 to 27, 2010, the Brugier-Rigail Gallery (formerly artpartnergalerie) offers us an exclusive presentation of works created and selected around the theme of love and sex. This collective exhibition brings together artists from the contemporary scene, street art, photography, digital art or manga-pop.
Each resident artist of the gallery invites another artist to confront him in a face-to-face on the theme: Love or Sex.
To each his own interpretation, but each couple presents his own through a discussion…A discussion where each one looks at himself and answers as if from the other side of the mirror.
Gérard Rancinan, photographer vs. Mapplethorpe, photographer: a rather interesting confrontation as Robert Mapplethorpe is a reference in body photography and black and white. Gérard Rancinan’s style is reminiscent of David LaChapelle, but he offers us, by way of the Grand Dinner, a colorful Last Supper of the Obese in opposition to Mapplethorpe’s sculpted torso in black and white. He also revisits the myth of Abel and Cain through the sublime work “Don’t Kill your brother 2”.
Speedy Graphito prefers to propose the vision of a kiss between Snow White and Prince Charming, colorful but far from the fairy tale kiss to Noart, urban design specialist who answers with an orgasm phone. And allows us to rediscover Colette Renard.
JonOne, through his sculptures and self-portraits, proclaims his love of free-style to Psykoze who responds in colorful street-art style.
Jef Aérosol stencils the female icon with the initials BB and his vision of love, all dressed in red, to LA 2 which does not let itself be played on the violin. He prefers to decorate them.
The pop universes of Taling manga style and Bettie Nin, Pop are colorful but never vulgar despite the sexplicit side of some works.
Katya Legendre confronts her vision through her project A.N.A.T.O.L.E. Inside with that of Eric Guglielmi, a photographer who has returned from his journey through Africa.
Mijn Schatje and Chris Von Steiner have chosen to present us digital art through faces that are mostly watching us.
During the opening of the exhibition, Julien and Stéphane from Exterface presented us with an exclusive presentation of David Mason’s creations with Fred Faurtin and their latest prints from the Superlover series.
Until February 27, 2010, there is still time for you to decide if your alter egos are in agreement or disagreement…
