Galerie Loft presents a group exhibition with the works of Joséphine de Saint - Seine, Arx Lee, Christos Kalfas, Kévin-Ademola Sangosanya, Philippe Huart, Yang Liming.
Joséphine de Saint-Seine, born in Paris in 1974, grew up in Apremont, a small village in Picardy and now lives and works in Marseille. She develops progressive work around the exploration of the origins of beings and the elements that make up our planet. It feeds on shapes and textures, materials and sensations, the symbolism of colors and the unpredictability of ink touching paper, lines and evanescence, but also the medicinal virtues of plants, the physical virtues and spiritual ones of modeling, and those, poetic and mental ones of writing.
Philippe Huart was born in 1953 in Clamart (France). He was inspired by the effects of advertising, marketing and consumption. His painting is based on the concept of "objective reality". Pictorial perception is above all "visual". It is linked to forms and rhythms. The works of Philippe Huart are not only everyday objects, but a "symbol".
“When I am calm and meditate on my inner mind, I can feel a rotating space that slowly lights up and produces many more rays of light. What I paint is not just abstract painting, it is literally a "concretely" projection of what I feel. For me, absolutely all of these elements are tangible, including color, structure, circles or direction of light. "
Of French and Yoruba origin, Kevin-Ademola SANGOSANYA was born in the Paris region in 1996. Although he showed a real passion and already great abilities for drawing at a very young age, he did after obtaining his baccalaureate in engineer in tropical agronomy. He spent 8 months in Nigeria for his end-of-diploma internship working on the conservation of forest species, reforestation, and the study of medicinal, food and sacred plants by making the link between the three areas that fascinate him. then, the preservation of culture, the sustenance of populations and spirituality. Despite everything, his compulsive need to create accompanies him on a daily basis. He draws more and more, compulsively picks up objects in the street which become supports for the creation of painting-objects and scatters the walls of Cergy where he then lives off his graffiti-poems under the pseudonym of "Lonely Jane".
His work explores the language of myths and other stories of her culture, in juxtaposition with our modernity. Many personal exhibitions followed, in international fairs such as Fiac, Art Basel, Art Brussels, etc.; and in galleries such as Patrice Trigano, LOFT gallery (Paris), Pascal Polar (Brussels), Athens gallery and Lola Nicolas in Greece. The Museum of Modern Art of Saint-Étienne devotes a personal exhibition to him on his engraved work, as does the Picasso Museum of Antibes.
