Description

As part of the OFF de dessin, L'Atelier du refuge is hosting an exhibition of 5 artists who are reinventing cards, be they the carte du Tendre, tarot cards or psychedelic portraits. 5 dreamlike, strange, offbeat universes that echo each other.
Her feminine tarot deck is painted in watercolor and represents the 22 main cards. It is placed in embroidered card sleeves. Pasqui R also produces a series of tarot-themed figures in linocuts and colored inks. Martine Malzard's islands are images to make us dream: of adventure, discovery, love... places where line and color, with their assumed naivety, bring us back to childhood, which is never far away. Watercolor and India ink are the mediums. Imagination does the rest. And if you want to try your luck, trust these charming cartomancers who will tell you only the best... Loplop presents a series of drawings on paper and collages on canvas in the same spirit as her creations: surrealism and fantasy. His works revisit the imagery of playing cards and tender geographical maps. Kings and queens are transformed into hybrid beings. Imaginary cartographies offer emblematic landscapes evocative of metaphorical places and stories. Mathilde Blahou Exploring the invisible, where reason gives way to dream. This project is an interior immersion, a search for what cannot be said but can be drawn, an invitation to cross the threshold into a dream world and give in to one's own interpretation. He picked up a Bic pen. And now he draws. Where do his characters come from? Probably from his childhood, if not that guy last week in front of the station café. Pit StarMonkey loves the wallpapers of yesteryear. He reproduces them, reinventing them in his drawings. He likes to repeat the gesture, like therapy. Fast, nervous and, if possible, without thinking. He looks at the paper and sees the ink draining away. A moment of pleasure and calm. Introspection.
