German Contemporary Art Fair Art Karlsruhe

For its 7th participation in the German modern and contemporary art fair “Art karlsruhe”, the Charron gallery has chosen to bring together its contemporary artists around a common denominator: the complex theme of identity.

Identity is a dynamic process, which is forged from childhood and consists both of the identity that the individual creates for himself and the identity that others attribute to him.

An exhibition proposed to the spectator in a back and forth of correspondences and differences, approached in a field of plastic art research, produced and interpreted by the personal trajectory of each artist of the Charron gallery:

– Bruno Bossut’s “Mirror, oh mirror…”, resolutely deformed sculptures to break the mirror of appearances and play with his identity.

– Alexandre Bour’s filiform installations play with light and shadow in terms of the impact of our visual identity.

– The meaning of the objects depicted in Mickael Doucet’s paintings, reflections of our social identity, our attractions, our environment, our culture.

– Lussou’s “Allegories”, the basis of a community memory with its human-sized historical figures.

– The field of appearance and its dynamic process present in the works of Helder Batista.

– The partly revealed and mystical relationship with the environment depicted by Komili.

– The expression of the self, of layers of memories through writing and poetry, a questioning around mysterious signs, lines and words through the work of Cy Twombly and Làszlò Lakner.

A quest for identity as conscious or unconscious values that allow us to build, deconstruct or differentiate ourselves from others.
