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 bringing together paintings of the French artist Karine Rougier and the sculptural ceramics of 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 within the space of the Foundation. 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 in situ installation in the project room — composed of a wall painting and a set of ceramics with vegetal and colored decorations. Exclusively for the exhibition, he will also introduce 3 handmade books for which he has used different materials and shapes emotionally inspired by the nature.
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 is a question of returning to the art fundamentals: painting, writing, sculpting.
Curator: Nathalie Guiot
