Explorations on the theme of the house

A house… just to evoke its name is enough to adorn it with all kinds of meanings.
It is first of all a roof for those who do not have one, a refuge to isolate oneself from the world, a place to recharge one’s batteries, to relax, a cozy nest to curl up in, an anchor oneself, a place to live.

But it’s not just humans who are in favor. Birds, in particular (another theme close to my heart), appreciate the small houses in the trees we offer them.
All this combined has inspired these few works (monotype prints, 3D collages, mixed media)… with more to come.

ARTISTIC EXPLORATIONS, ZAKOUSKA AND CREATORS’ MARKET ON AUGUST 31

 

After the weather disaster of August 15th, rain and gale at Place aux Arts broke my frames. A lot of damage and an early end of exhibition for me. But repairs are in progress and I will show prints, etchings, collages and paper objects at the Rougemont le château creators’ market on August 31. This village was part of my adolescence and I will be happy to return to it. It is also the home of Bruno Geyer, gardener poet with his 900 watering cans. If he is well known here, he is also known by a lot of tourists. Discover his shop if you have never visited it !

At the moment, I am exploring other medias, watercolour, markers, textile inks and playing with spontaneous drawing…

while listening to ZAKOUSKA, a group of Strasbourg musicians. I love their music, advocating “mixing and meeting people”: gypsy tunes from Romania, jazz scoundrels from New York clubs, North African transes, it’s cheerful, creative, it makes you want to travel, it makes you happy !

I went to listen to them at the Moulin de Hundsbach in Sundgau (southern Alsace for those who are not from the area), a superb place that served as a setting for an exhibition of watercolours, painting and photography during a whole weekend and I was able to enjoy them. The party was there with flambé pie, beer and local pork. New edition next year at the same time for other exhibitions and always music and festive table. I will tell you more before the event.

A little glimpse of their music?
