Exhibition from Wednesday 24/04 to Saturday 15/06/2019
The Fondation Thalie is pleased to invite you to the opening of En même temps, elle sentit la matière du ciel, an exhibition gathering works by the french painter Karine Rougier and the Italian artist Alessandro Roma.
Following her residency in March 2019, the artist Karine Rougier is invited to recreate the universe of her Marseille atelier. The exhibition is organized like a real cabinet of curiosities, composed of small formats on wood and showcases in which are exposed the literary and visual sources of the artist, retranscribing as close as possible the singularity of its creation space. Keen on sacred stories and poetry, Karine Rougier takes the path of a magical realism to build her pictorial work.
In resonance with this dreamlike and singular work, Alessandro Roma will present an installation in the project room — composed of a wall fresco and a set of ceramic sculptures, with vegetal and colored decorations, for which the artist has used the technique of raku and other traditional firing techniques.
Echoing the theme of the annual program The Renaissance, artist as a worker, this proposal reflects the gesture physicality. In reverse of a massive dematerialization, it’s a question of returning to the fundamentals of art: painting, writing, sculpting.
Curator: Nathalie Guiot
