CHIC DESSIN 2010 Du 26 au 29 mars 2010 Atelier Richelieu, 60 rue de Richelieu 75002 Paris Space 1: Orlando Mostyn Owen-Back Door Arcadia
Gathered under the title Back door Arcadia, Orlando Mostyn Owen’s recent paintings, made after a stay in Naples and Palermo, express the impossibility to represent the Golden Age. There is a nostalgic dimension to the way in which he travels through history, searching for the traces inscribed in the Italian landscape, a combination of vestiges and modernity.
Born in 1973 in Ramford, UK. Works and lives in London. In 1998 he graduates from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. At that time, he spends his time between London, Paris and Italy. He took part in numerous collective exhibitions in Europe. The gallery dedicates him his first personal exhibition.
The gallery presents a selection of artists who use drawing as their preferred medium. As it obeys nothing but a movement of thought, drawing is an exercise of total freedom, far from aesthetic preoccupations, following no rules but those self-imposed by the artist.
They are solitary “Riders” in a quest for unknown lands, with an appetite for lines and colours, the voluptuousness of forms, the energy of the line or its very absence. By gathering the artists in a single space while preserving their radical singularity and specificity, “Riders” becomes a collective work. The spectator will be immersed in the heart of drawing.
Around thirty artists are invited, among which: Gérard Alary, Pat Andréa, Lydie Arickx, Felicia Atkinson, Gwenaël Billaud, Vincent Bizien, Christophe Boursault, Daphné Chevallereau, Paul de Pignol, Raynald Driez, Vanessa Fanuele, Andrew Gilbert, Andreas Hofer, Marcel Hüppauff, Michael Kalmbach, Marcel Katuchevski, Fred Kleinberg, Cristina Lama, Fréderic Léglise, Julie Lorinet, Michel Macréau, Maryan, Matias Sanchez, Charlotte McGowan-Griffin, Orlando Mostyn Owen, Stani Nitkowski, Humberto Poblete-Bustamante, Eva Räder, Sylvia Reyftman, Emmanuelle Renard, Raphaëlle Ricol, Joanne Robertson, Jean Rustin, Lionel Sabatté, Adam Saks, Christine Sefolosha, Astrid Sourkova, Lucy Stein, Davor Vrankic, Wu Xiaohai, Eric Yahnker.
