Artists
Mehdi Mirbagheri
Mehdi Mirbagheri, a contemporary Iranian artist, was born in 1980, Tehran. At the beginning of his creation, he turned to the new mediums and mixed the various techniques up (photo, graphics, painting and collage) for developing his own visual identity. He tried the different artistic experiences, like video installation and performance. Since 2008, he turned to Pop Art and created the works which inherited the pictorial codes of Lichtenstein who mixed up the Persian and the Arabic calligraphy.
Mun-gi Yang
Mun-gi Yang, born in Gwang-Ju in South Korea, graduated from Faculty of Fine Arts at Chosun University. In 2012, sculptor-artist presented his exhibition Story of Luxury Stone at Okgwa Art Museum in South Korea. Although it seems like these Luxury stones are at first parodic objects of Chinese counterfeit handbags of famous brands, such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel, they go beyond a simple imitation or representation of these objects. Through the characteristics of stone-made items, the useful function of bag disappeared. The object loses its useful features and is now transformed into a symbol, an icon.
Caroline Lazaroo
"After making different types of photos, I realized that there is nothing that makes me happier than to photograph places abandoned. Is it by misanthropy or just for the simple fact of seeing the power of Nature and life that takes over, I cannot say. As soon as I am in these places, I feel good, calm. I feel as if time has stopped, as if we had taken a remote control and pressed the stop button, as if we had entered a bubble that exists only for ourselves. There is a sort of serenity, the sound of birds... It’s like being transported to another dimension, and that’s what I’m trying to show with my pictures.”
Objectal
Objectal is a group of two artists: Bernard Dreyfuss and Claude Pougny. These two artists studied at the National School of Fine Arts, where they met in 1965. It was then after many joint projects that Objectal was created in 1976. As you will see, there is a bowl in each of their works. This bowl is not a coincidence and is an integral part of their touch. The bowl is the icon of an everyday object present in almost all their works. He is both an integral part of the painting in figuration, as well as in abstraction since 1978.
