L'été Indien
L‘ÉTÉ INDIEN, A TRANSFORMATIVE BEAUTY
Ballroom Gallery is excited to inform you about the season's first group exhibition, L'été Indien with works by Simon Demeuter, Guillaume Linard-Osorio, Thomas Trum, and Pascal Vilcollet.
L'été Indien is a group exhibition about the sudden, transformative beauty when reconnecting with the halcyon days of our past. The show kicks off Ballroom Gallery’s new season with a selection of works by Simon Demeuter, Guillaume Linard-Osorio, Thomas Trum, and Pascal Vilcollet.
The mysterious lights of twilight and the ascending sun spread out in the paintings of Pascal Vilcollet. Despite being non-figurative, the carefully curated elements in Vilcollet’s works create a sense of hierarchy and proximity that resonates with viewers, drawing them into the vivid and textured world he creates on canvas.
The flipside of the Indian Summer as a phenomenon in which things from days past take on a new form is tangible in the work of Guillaume Linard-Osorio. His works grant a newly acquired physicality to construction materials from his past as an architect, resulting in surprising creations full of life.
The metamorphosis is made explicit in the work of Simon Demeuter. His painting practice is driven by a meticulous search for bold simplification of form, which imbues his works with pictorial freshness and a sense of immediacy found anew.
Finally, the cycle is symbolically closed by Thomas Trum. His oeuvre revolves around unconventional ways of using paint on paper, walls and canvas. Trum’s colorful creations stand at the intersection of art and design, using the artistic studio as a place for experiment.
