The gallery invites the duo Gerald Panighi and Laurie Jacquetty to an exhibition never shown before. The artists offer us a view of the human species through light drawings in which they point to the beauty and the cynicism of human beings, in everyday vignettes that send us back to our own reality. Exhibition view, Gérald Panighi & Laurie Jacquetty, L’odeur est la principale preoccupazione du chien, Galerie Eva Vautier Photo © François Fernandez.

Graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d’art Villa Arson, Nice Michèle Goarant, 2011 Laurie Jacquetty Born in 1990 in Menton, lives and works in Menton. Graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d’art Villa Arson, Nice In her drawn diary “Quand je m’ennuie je dessine mon chien”, Laurie Jacquetty stages her dog Patsy to tell anecdotes from everyday life. Poetic, tender, funny and biting at once, her stories are drawn with a simple, fine and sensitive line in ink, with a few touches of watercolour. Her sculptures also show an economy of means: they are made from a gathering of poor materials, of salvaged, trivial and precarious objects. Evolving as the finds and combinations accumulate, they are not conceived as a finished form but executed with a certain urgency, with whatever spontaneously presents itself to her, and with elementary gestures recalling those of childhood. Her assemblages of odds and ends take on the sense of dwelling and refuge and point to the idea of a catastrophe to come, even though they may raise a smile through their sometimes chance associations and their naive character.
