Exhibition 2022, Fair. 27 & 28 August 2022. In 2022, the Galerie Eva Vautier wishes to confront spirit and matter. The two notions are inseparable; the artists presented constantly make a link between the two, ranging from the illustrated reflections of Gérald Panighi, to the materialisation of action in the making of a drawn sheet by Charlotte Pringuey-Cessac, while Ben’s iconoclastic drawings act as a bridge between spirit and matter. © Photos Jean-Christophe Lett Gérald Panighi » Of course, on first seeing Gérald Panighi’s small vignettes covering an entire wall with a certain casualness, as if they were mere ordinary Post-its, my gaze went astray into this dizzying atomisation. There is plenty to see and read in Gérald’s work. » Excerpt from the text by Michèle Goarant, 2011 Charlotte Pringuey-Cessac With a resolutely protean practice, Charlotte Pringuey-Cessac moves from one medium to another, from one material to another, in close relation to the intention of a narrative. Mythologies (personal or universal), primal stories, human expressions, sober materials may find themselves confronted with a place, a current event, experimental technologies, innovative machines, etc. Ben Vautier « From the late 1950s to today, Ben stages, and stages himself, at the heart of a world about which he never ceases to say what frightens and amuses him. Ben shouts and storms. He writes and he accosts. […] One must see him seeking to build his language. “I drew forms that I threw away if I found their source of influence”, he writes about his early works. One must hear him seeking “a beginning of personality” when there appears, in 1957, the form of the Banane. And then come the Lignes, the Tâches, the Sculptures d’Objets, the Objets suspendus, the Déséquilibre, the Trous, the Sculptures vivantes, the Manque and the Tout… The Tout as the search for reality in its totality, the Tout so that nothing escapes it. Between lure and mastery. No doubt a superb definition of creation. » Excerpt from text, Bernard Blistène
