| NORBERT BISKY - DATES Mar 14-May 23, 2020 Desmadre Berlin 14 MARS - 9 MAI, 2020 Galerie Templon 28, rue Grenier Saint-Lazare Paris https://www.templon.com/ On his first return to Paris since 2014, German painter Norbert Bisky plunges us into the heart of his native capital city: the wild Desmadre Berlin of the inter-war period, a world of hedonism and anarchy whose traces are still to be found on the capital's walls today. In this new series, Bisky has chosen to swap the pastel blue of his skies for darker hues and the luminous smiles of his models for more serious expressions. His baroque scenes feature bronzed models who bring to mind the communist propaganda which marked the artist's youth in GDR. Alongside them are the night birds, hipsters and outsiders who populate the streets of Berlin Friedrichshain every evening, drifting among the post-industrial facades that characterise the district, a favourite haunt of the city's denizens of the night. |
Initialement créée en Côte d'Ivoire en 2019, la galerie accompagne une scène artistique ivoirienne et, au-delà, africaine en pleine effervescence qui entend se situer dans une approche non occidentalo-centrée du marché de l'art et qui s'engage aux côtés d'artistes à la fois émergents et confirmés. La galerie s'affirme comme un lieu ressource pour enrichir la connaissance des artistes représentés et des courants esthétiques auxquels ils se rattachent.
