GENERAL PRESENTATION
A springtime art fair focused on discovery
Held at the Grand Palais from 31st March to 3rd April 2016, Art Paris Art Fair is the
springtime Paris event for modern and contemporary art that brings together 143
galleries from 20 countries which includes for the first time Azerbaïdjan, Colombia
and Iran.
A generalist fair open to all forms of artistic expression including design, Art Paris
Art Fair presents an overview of art from the post-war period to the present day.
The thematic sections focus on discovery in particular with this year’s Korea guest of
honour project, personal exhibitions in the Solo Show section, emerging talents with
the Promises section for young galleries and digital art with monumental projections
on the façade of Grand Palais.
Exploring the regions of Europe
Art Paris Art Fair continues to attract leading international galleries such as Daniel
Templon (Paris), Sundaram Tagore (New York, Hong Kong, Singapore) and Flowers
(London, New York). The 2016 selection is particularly focused on exploring the
different regions of Europe and its cities, each with their own individual identities
such as Zurich, Munich and Milan. Their galleries have an artistic vision which reflect
passion and commitment, like an antidote to the prevailing uniformization seen in so
many art fairs.
With 58 newcomers, the 2016 edition maintains the 48% of foreign galleries and
52% of French galleries. First-time participants include Bob Gysin (Zurich), Art
Bartschi & Cie (Geneva), La Balsa Arte (Bogota), Silk Road Gallery (Tehran), Studio
Giangaleazzo Visconti (Milan) with a comeback from Ditesheim & Maffei Fine Art
(Neuchatel). In terms of French participants, Art Paris Art Fair gives pride of place to
regional galleries with three participants from Marseille (Galerie Gourvennec Ogor,
Béa-Ba and Najuma), two galleries from Bordeaux (D.X and Xénon), Lille (Cédric
Bacqueville and Art to Be Gallery), and one each from Lyon (Françoise Besson),
Rennes (Galerie Oniris - Florent Paumelle) and Strasburg (Galerie Jean-Pierre
Ritsch Fisch). Newcomers from Paris include Eric Dupont, RX, Françoise Paviot and
MAGNIN-A while Sèvres-Cité de la Céramique returns this year.

Focus on the East: South Korea guest of honour
Under the leadership of guest curator Sang-A Chun, the invitation of South Korea as
guest of honour highlights the vast wealth of the art scene from the “Land of Morning
Calm”. With close to 80 artists represented by 8 galleries both from Korea (Seoul,
Daegu and Paju) and some 26 Western galleries, this project spans the emergence
of very specific forms of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present day boom
in creativity.
The first generation of modernists is represented with artists such as Ungno LEE, a
historic figure who produced an innovative body of work at the crossroads between
Eastern and Western traditions, shown by Galerie Thessa Herold in a personal exhibition.
Others include masters of Dansaekhwa, the mysterious Korean art of monochrome
painting, such as Lee Ufan and Myeong-Ro Youn represented by Gana Art gallery. Also
on show are some of the leading figures of the contemporary scene such as MoonPil Shim (Galerie Lahumière and Shilla Gallery), Lee Bae (Galerie RX), Kwang Young
Chun (Sundaram Tagore Gallery and Omer Tiroche Contemporary Art) and Boomoon
(Flowers Gallery). The young generation of emerging talents is well represented with
for example installations by Kiwon Park (313 Art Project) and Yun Soo Kim (Soso
Gallery), the dreamlike sculptural creations of Myeongbeom KIM (Galerie ParisBeijing) or the delicate graphic work of Min Jung Yeon (Galerie Maria Lund).
As part of the celebrations of France-Korea year, exhibitions and installations of
Korean art will be visible throughout the capital during Art Paris Art Fair. IBU Gallery,
in collaboration with RX and Hakgojae galleries, present “Standing Man” by CHUNG
Hyun, a group of 47 monumental sculptures in the garden of the Palais Royal. The
Cernuschi Museum is organising an exhibition of contemporary Korean art from
the 1980s onwards along with a number of new rising talents. The Korean cultural
centre dedicate an exhibition of the painter Oh Se-Yehol and is hosting a talk
entitled “Contemporary Korean art: exploring the past and shed light on the present,”
moderated by Art Paris Art Fair Korea Guest of Honour curator Sang-A Chun. (Korean
Cultural Centre, 2 avenue d’Iéna, 75116 Paris – Friday 1st April, 6pm).
South Korea Guest of Honour at Art Paris Art Fair 2016 is part of the official programme of France-Korea
Year 2015-2016 (www.anneefrancecoree.com).

Solo show
Introduced in 2015, the “Solo Show” section includes some 20 personal exhibitions
scattered throughout the fair. This is an opportunity to discover or re-discover the
work of modern or contemporary artists such as Syria’s Fadi Yazigi at Tanit Gallery,
France’s Damien Cabanes at Galerie Eric Dupont, Ronald Ventura from the Philippines
at Galerie Primae Noctis, or Belgium’s Antoine Roegiers at Art Bärtschi & Cie whose
work is inspired by Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel.
Female artists are given pride of place with personal exhibitions of work by Claudine
Drai (Galerie 111), Jan Haworth (Galerie du Centre), Carmen Perrin (Galerie Bob
Gysin), Ruby Rumie (Galeria NH) and Song Hyun Sook (Galerie Ditesheim & Maffei
Fine Art).
Solo Show on Bus expo
From 17th March to 5th April 2016, the Air France airport busses will feature temporary
exhibitions as part of the “Bus Expo” project. The aim is to make contemporary art
accessible to the widest possible audience. Bus Expo and Art Paris Art Fair have
joined forces to display the work of five artists selected from among the solo shows
at the fair.
The five selected artists are: Geneviève Claisse (Galerie Fleury), Hervé Di Rosa (Art
To Be Gallery), Katinka Lampe (Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire), Antoine Roegiers (Art
Bärtschi & Cie) and Fadi Yazigi (Galerie Tanit).
The Solo Show section is supported by the French magazine IDEAT.
Promises
This sector is dedicated to the promotion of young galleries and emerging talents. It
includes 12 galleries that are less than five years old and have never taken part in the
fair. The selection for 2016 is the following: 50 Golborne (London) , ART’LOFT LeeBauwens Gallery (Brussels), Bildhalle (Zurich), Galerie Béa-Ba (Marseille), Brandt
Gallery (Amsterdam), Espace L (Geneva), Galerie Gourvennec Ogor (Marseille),
Galerie Valérie Delaunay (Paris), Maëlle Galerie (Paris), Christine Park Gallery
(London), under construction (Paris), Yay Gallery (Baku)..
The walls: historical works and contemporary creation
Art Paris Art Fair introduces a new cycle of exhibitions of rare historic work or
contemporary creations made specifically for the fair. Three projects are exhibited
on the North and South walls of the Grand Palais. Emmanuel Régent presented by
Galerie Caroline Smulders has created a new series of drawings for Art Paris Art
Fair entitled “Stray Dogs and Shipwrecks” while Claude Lemand Gallery pays tribute
to Dia Al-Azzawi with a series of 12 drawings entitled “Hanging Poems” (1978). In
collaboration with the Vienna Angerlehner Museum, Ernst Hilger Gallery presents the
series Femmes Fatales made by Erró between 1987 and 1996.

Digital art in all its splendour on the façade of the Grand Palais
In partnership with Vidélio, the fair presents a selection of monumental digital
mapping projections on the façade of the Grand Palais every night for the duration
of the fair. Six artists have been selected: Col.l.age + Sho Jang and Min Kim (Paik
Hae Young Gallery), ENCOR Studio (Galerie Madé), Kim Joon (Galerie Park Ryu
Sook), Hypnotica (YAY Gallery), Moon Pil Shim (Galeries Shilla and Anne Lahumière),

Daum, official Art Paris Art Fair partner
There has been an on-going, century-long love story between Daum, the legendary
crystal and glass manufacturer and the leading artists of the day, giving their work a
second lease on life in glass and colour. From the École de Nancy to Art Nouveau
and Art Deco, Majorelle, Dali, George Braque and Arman, Daum has missed none of
the great moments of artistic creation and modern know-how with this everlasting
marriage between art and craft.
On the occasion of Art Paris Art Fair, Daum presents a number of artistic pieces
from the street art movement and its origins with Cyril Phan, aka Kongo, one of the
leading figures of graffiti art. Also on show is famous French street artist Jérôme
Mesnager, Romuald Hazoumé who stands against modern slavery, Gonçalo Mabunda
who uses weapons as a creative medium, Alain Séchas who is influenced by the
world of comics.
The “Springtime in Paris” VIP programme
Designed for collectors and art professionals, the programme aims to highlight the
vibrancy of the Paris art scene and the new face of the French capital in the 21st
Century. A number of outstanding exhibitions are on during Art Paris Art Fair week
including “Daido Tokyo, Daido Moriyama” at the Fondation Cartier, “Pandora’s Box,
another type of photography” by Jan Dibbets at the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville
de Paris, “Corpus, Helena Almeida” at the Jeu de Paume, “Le Douanier Rousseau,
archaic innocence” at the Musée d’Orsay, “Ceramix, art and ceramics from Rodin to
Schütte” at Sévres–Cité de la Céramique and La Maison Rouge, “Bentu, 12 Chinese

Museum - Paris.

EDITORIAL by GUILLAUME PIENS
Fair director
ART PARIS ART FAIR 2016: An art fair focusing on discovery
Art Paris Art Fair is the leading fair for modern and contemporary art held in the
spring in Paris which this year brings together 143 galleries from 22 countries. The
fair remains true to its concept of “cosmopolitan regionalism” introduced four
years ago. In 2016, the fair continues to concentrate on parts of Europe and the
singular art scenes of cities like Marseille, Milan and Zurich while also looking further
afield to places like Azerbaijan, Colombia, and Iran, and of course Korea, this year’s
guest of honour.
Open to all forms of artistic expression including design, Art Paris Art Fair offers
an insight into art from the post-war period to the present day while the thematic
sections focus more on discovery
The invitation of Korea as guest of honour is the last of a trilogy of editions dedicated
to exploring the art scenes of the East. This year’s edition was overseen by guest
curator Sang-A Chun and is particularly impressive with close to 80 Korean artists
on show and a series of side events. It reveals the striking richness of the art scene
from “the land of the morning calm,” with work dating back to the 1960s, right up
to the present day’s boom in contemporary creativity.
The “Promises” section presents emerging talents from an ever wider range of
countries while the “Solo Show” part offers a score of personal exhibitions
disseminated throughout the fair, allowing visitors to discover or rediscover the work
of modern, contemporary or emerging artists. Digital art is given pride of place
with a programme of monumental nighttime projections of work on the colossal
façade of the Grand Palais. The “Springtime in Paris” VIP programme for collectors
and art professionals offers the best of what is happening on the Paris art scene,
highlighting the new cultural landscape of the City of Lights in the 21st Century.
Art Paris Art Fair is pleased to welcome a number of new partners such as Maison
Daum which brings a specific exhibition on the theme of street art for which it has
collaborated with a number of artists. Also new this year is Bus Expo, in partnership
with Air France, offering an itinerant exhibition to five of the artists from the Solo
Show section of the fair. The objective is to make contemporary art available to the
widest possible audience, which resonates with the values of Art Paris Art Fair and
its aim of being a spring fair accessible to art lovers from all walks of life.

Digital Projections on
the facade of the grand palais
Every evening from 30th March to 3rd April 2016, from 7pm to midnight, the façade
of the Grand Palais undergoes an amazing transformation, lending itself to the
imagination of artists who this year come from Azerbaijan, Korea, France and
Switzerland. This programme of monumental video projections is in partnership
with Vidélio.
Col.l.age + (Sho Jang & Min Kim), Hypnagogia, 2016, 15 mn, Music: Jiin Ko, Paik
Hae Young Gallery (Seoul)
Hypnagogia: the transitional state between sleep and wakefulness ; the hypnagogic
state of consciousness during the onset of sleep. Entitled Hynagogia, this video is
inspired by the famous parable by Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou called the
Butterfly’s Dream, in which the wise man dreams he is a butterfly and when he
wakes up, ask himself whether he isn’t in fact the butterfly dreaming about Zhuang
Zhou.
ENCOR Studio (Mirko Eremita, David Houncheringer & Valerio Spoletini), Duel,
February 2016, 7 mn. Galerie Madé (Paris)
ENCOR is a studio founded by Swiss artists Mirko Eremita, David Houncheringer &
Valerio Spoletini. The way to decrypt the work of the ENCOR studio is to proceed by
layers. The work explores the intrinsic fundaments of graphic design, re-arranging
primitive and powerful symbolic forms and drawing inspiration from architecture,
mathematics and sound vibrations.
Hypnotica (Javid Guliyev, Agarahim Ibrahimov, Aygun Hasanova, Farhad
Farzaliyev), The Breath, 2016, 5 mn, Yay Gallery (Bakou)
“Hypnotica” is an artists’ collective from Azerbaijan whose main focus is architecture
in its many forms, which it approaches as living organisms. In The Breath, the façade
of the building comes to life, inhaling and exhaling, pulsating at its own rhythm, like
“living pillars from whence confused words arise.” (Baudelaire)
Kim Joon, Snake, 2015, 5mn loop, 3D animation, Park Ryu Sook Gallery (Seoul)
Better known as the “tattoo” artist, KIM Joon, (born in 1966) creates astonishing
digital images of the human body. In Snake, super-imposed bodies are constantly
moving and are entirely covered in reptilian patterns in bright, deep colours
suggesting the animal desire that lies buried deep in human beings.
Moon-Pil Shim, Contemplations, 2016, 10 mn, Music: Young-Dong KIM Galerie
Lahumière (Paris) and Gallery Shilla (Daegu)
Light plays a fundamental role in the work of Korean artist Moon-Pil Shim (born in
1958). In Contemplations, the artist works with the forms and colours associtated
with abstract art, with moving lines, circles and light that slowly change colour.
Antoine Schmitt, Façade Life, 2016, 10 mn, Galerie Charlot (Paris)
In Façade Life, an abstract luminous shape made of white pixels moves across the
façade of the Grand Palais. Programmed by algorithms, artificial life and physical
models, it reproduces the life of a wild animal locked in a cage: a nervous body
that is free but imprisoned at the same time. With light rubbing against matter,
the building becomes a territory. Façade Life is part of the wider work of Antoine
Schmitt who focusses on the process of movement, its causes and forms.

South Korean Contemporary art:
the promise of eternal metamorphosis
by Sang-A Chun, Guest curator
Since last Autumn, South Korea is everywhere in Paris and the rest of the country in
the same way as France is everywhere in South Korea. Both countries are celebrating
130 years of friendship and diplomatic relations. And March 2016 will be one of the
highlights as “the land of the morning calm” is guest of honour at Art Paris Art Fair.
But how much do we really know about South Korea, and in particular its art scene?
In contrast with its Chinese and Japanese neighbours, South Korea’s art is
relatively unknown on the international scene in spite of outstanding resources
and a remarkably supportive environment. But South Korea is gradually becoming
recognized as a leading cultural player in terms of its programming and
infrastructure. Certain distinctive features such as the partition of the peninsula,
tradition that endures alongside (hyper) modernity and cutting-edge technology
provide some of the clues and visual tools – figuratively speaking - to explore South
Korean art and help to give an overall picture.
In search of lost identity
The political context has played a major role in the evolution of South Korean art.
The massive pro-democracy demonstrations led by the trade unions and student
movements between 1969 and 1987 not only transformed the political landscape, but
also changed the way artists were seen and contributed to the rise of new forms and
techniques of artistic creation. This period of democratization on the one hand saw
the systematic repression of art by the dictatorship and on the other, the emergence
of two major common objectives: the development of a new Korean artistic identity,
and modernization in every sense of the word.
The Japanese occupation, the partition of the country (in 1945) and a tragic fratricidal
war all combined to produce a strong desire among South Korean artists in the
1960s to go back to the source. The problem of the essence of traditional art had
been the subject of numerous aesthetic debates, with some artists even supporting
its reinstatement. At the same time, avant-garde movements were fuelled by the
deep changes in the daily lives of the South Korean people as society marched
headlong towards consumerism as a consequence of the absolute priority given to
the industrialization of the country by the government.
Later, in the 1970s, abstract South Korean art developed its own language under
the influence of Western informalism, abstract expressionism and minimalism. This
was a period of triumph for the Dansaekhwa school that produced the abstract
monochrome works which became the model for modernism. As a reaction to this,
another movement known as Soomookhwa based on traditional Korean ink painting
took over in this quest for identity. The period that followed was marked by the
struggle against dictatorship and democratic transition in the 1980s. This brought
a politicized, realist current known as Minjungmisul countering Dansaekhwa, which
by that time had become almost institutionalized.
ART PARIS ART FAIR

Abstract art, visual modernity
The success of Dansaekhwa on the international scene was not built in a day. South
Korea is one very few countries among the nations that became independent after
the World War II to have had an exceptionally rich variety of artistic movements:
the search for the origins of traditional painting, its modernization, the introduction
of Western painting, the confrontation between abstraction and realism, the
introduction of new media and installation, experimentation with mixed techniques…
In the middle of this constellation of different movements, abstract art eventually
stood out as a beacon, enabling South Korean artists to move on to the next phase.
From the end of the 1950s to the present day, different groups of abstract artists
have come and gone. Kim Whanki, a pioneer of abstract Korean art discovered and
depicted the abstract that is inherent in nature and life. Nam Kwan and Lee Ungno
redirected traditional painting with a modern approach inspired by the abstract
aspects of the techniques of calligraphy. Oh Sufan works with shapes to try and
represent the lively spirit of the Orient (ki) through the most primitive forms. As
for Lee Kang-So, intuitive gesture and the creative process itself are what make up
the essence of his work. Meanwhile, Youn Myeung-ro’s world is constantly renewed
though his use of materials and gesture to express the traces left in his mind by
his own thoughts. Geometric abstraction is what defines Suh Seung-Won although
he maintains a lyrical tone in his compositions while Kim Inkyum uses geometric
shapes to reveal flatness in three-dimensional forms and vice-versa.
Dansaekhwa artists (Park Seo-Bo, Chung Chang-Sup) use repetitive gestures to
create their materials as a way of stressing the importance of time and the process
itself. They have now been followed by a new generation of artists who have adopted
this practice. For his part, Lee Bae uses coal as a symbol of eternity and energy and
through his gestures, transforms it into something with a spiritual dimension. Noh
Sangkyoon elaborately glues sequins to cover an entire canvas or object, creating
optical illusions which provide different readings of the same piece. In Moon Beom’s
work it is the dynamism of the gesture that creates the surface of the painting.
Meanwhile, Jang Seungtaik’s search for the concrete often reveals the immaterial
and the intangible.
Thus, South Korean abstract art can be said to have certain specific features: the
combining of traditional and modern techniques (the use of hanji, Korean mulberry
paper or calligraphy), the use of expressive materials, the preponderance of
spontaneous and intuitive gesture and the rejection of narrative form. South
Korean abstract art opens the way to a visual modernity that contributes to the
development of South Korean contemporary art as a whole.

Living (with) the border, between partition and interface
According to numerous art historians, 1987 was the beginning of contemporary
art in Korea with the end of a virulent confrontation between the Dansaekhwa and
Minjungmisul movements – abstraction and realism – at a time when political unrest
gave way to profound cultural changes. The democratization of the country paved
the way for cultural diversity and the success of the Olympic Games in 1988 brought
material comfort, including for artists of the so-called “386 Generation” who were
born in the 1960s. After the 1997 financial crisis, a number of important venues for
contemporary art were built with private funding. In addition, several contemporary
art biennales were created (Gwangju, Mediacity Seoul, Busan, Anyang Public Art
Project…) along with a large number of alternative spaces and artists’ residencies.
This, combined with a dynamic art market, contributed to the blossoming and rise
of the South Korean art scene.
In what is the only divided country in the world, the tensions and convulsions of the
political situation have had an undeniable impact of creativity. The border and the
DMZ, the demilitarized zone, has become the subject not only of study but is also
an artistic action site. Flash Wall, the monumental installation by Park Kiwon at the
entrance of the Grand Palais is a prime example. Made of tangled rolls of twisted wire,
it is a reminder of the history of the border between the two Koreas, symbolizing
peace and reconciliation. At the same time, the five Obangsaek hanging balls in
traditional Korean colours represent the perception of space for Korean people.
South Korean modern art has developed thanks to the conflictual relationship between
divergent narratives and the new generations of artists play a “frontline” role by
exploring this slippery yet magnetic territory, becoming its attentive and circumspect
observers. Artists are forever scrutinizing the countless fractures that divide South
Korean society, and at the same time, different horizons open up before their eyes and
they serve up their vision, making copious use of new media and mixed techniques.
ART PARIS ART FAIR

By “sublimating” objects of everyday life or humble activities, artists reveal the dark
side of a hasty modernization (Choi Jeong Hwa) and also question the social role of
art, its essence and values (Lee Wan, Jun Sojung, Hong Young In.) They also question
the status of a work of art or the process of making it through trans-disciplinary
experimentation (Hur Shan), occasionally highlighting the link with consumerist
culture (Gwon Osang.) Others embark on pilgrimages to historical places laden with
buried memories (Lim Minouk, Che Onejoon) to try and unearth traces of the past
in order to shed light on the present. Some endlessly paint constantly changing
landscapes like a utopian vision of the world where there is no limit to visibility or
time (Kim Yun Soo, Min Jung-Yeon). The single narrative and territorial certainty
are put into question and replaced by plurality and ambiguity (Park Chankyung).
The dubious relationship between archives and real facts is questioned through
a variety of devices and narratives (Kim Ayoung, Nam Hwayeon). The rewriting of
a Korean history stripped of illusion and its social traumas is on-going though sign
language, poetry and choreography (Jang Minseung, An Jungju). Many focus on
intimate and imaginary stories of individual people, also incorporating the notion of
time (Won Seoung-won, Chun Kyungwoo).
The history is Korean art is not over, of course. The border is no longer an obstacle
but serves as a mobile interface. It teaches us that among many possible outcomes,
the only promise that remains immutable is that of “eternal metamorphosis.”

PERFORMANCES
“RITUALS” Performance Programme
Entitled “Rituals” and specifically designed for Art Paris Art Fair 2016, this programme
of performances seeks to explore the relationship in Korea between artistic creation
and the notion of the ritual. Selfless and rejuvenating, these series of actions are
rigorously executed - like religious rites. They can also be habitual banal gestures,
repeated consciously or not. These rituals play a protective role and generally help
people cope with life.
YEESOOKYUNG (Séoul, 1963) – When I Become You - Booth F8
Thursday 31st March from 7.15pm to 7.30pm and Saturday 2nd April from 3pm to 3.15pm
Performer: Junghwa LEE / Music: Young Gyu JANG / Costume: Young Seok KIM
Yeesookyung explores the concept of symmetry through a variety of experimental
practices that are inspired by Buddhist thought. She paints simultaneously with both
hands or uses hypnosis to conduct a spiritual regression session. Her reading of the
world is circular, not linear. She speaks of the relationship between the self and
others, between perfection and imperfection, the conscious and the unconscious,
the real and the virtual. How these opposites relate to each other becomes blurred
and diffuse.
YOUNG IN HONG (Séoul, 1972) – Let Us Dance - Main Alley of the Fair
Thursday 31st March, Friday 1st April and Saturday 2nd April from 5pm to 5.20pm
Young In Hong’s inspiration comes from the demonstrations that took place in
Seoul in 2008. Teenagers took part in these in large numbers which torpedoed the
accepted traditional image of a passive youth. The artist re-contextualizes the event
using a flash mob. Her aim is to reveal the unexpected and the creative energy
through this device which, far from obscuring social fractures, sheds greater light
upon them and in the process, raises questions about the status of the artist and of
the work itself.
Materials special installation by Sulki & Min in the VIP Ruinart Lounge *
This duo of graphic and visual artists has made a video using what they call
infra-flat drawings, claiming inspiration from Duchamp for their invention of the
notion of “infra-flat.” With this work, they explore a new idea of visibility, one that
seeks out an “inverted depth,” that can be imagined to beyond absolute flatness.
They also challenge the essence and values of art by questioning its materiality.

selective group of established and emerging artists. For Art Paris Art
Fair, AD Galerie presents an exhibition dedicated to free figuration
with some co-founders of the movement like Robert Combas and Hervé di Rosa as well as leading figures such as François Boisrond and
Rémi Blanchard. Historic works from the 1980s that come from a private collection are on show together for the first time.

For the first time L’Agence à Paris is sharing its stand with Colombian
gallery La Balsa Arte. On show is a project entitled “Dates” with Bosnian artist Radenko Milak and Slovenia’s Roman Uranjek. The “Dates”
project revisits the powerful and baroque imaginary world from that
part of Europe, the Balkans, overshadowed by division and tragedy.
With their watercolours and collages, these two artists speak of the
brief but intense history of their region in the 20th and 21st Centuries.

Romanian avant garde from the 1970s and 1980s which includes Ion
Bitzan, Ilie Pavel and Paul Neagu. Despite the political and ideological
repression of the Communist era, these artists managed to produce
conceptual work. Galerist Richard Demarco, who specialises in the art
of Eastern Europe, brought their work to the attention of the art world
in the West.

Geneva, Switzerland | www.analixforever.wordpress.com | Barbara Polla
Analix Forever is a contemporary art gallery whose priority focus is
young talents. The gallery explores and constantly reassesses what
forms the borderlines between art, work, beauty, fashion and communication. Women artists are still the subject of questionable prejudice.
What today is still considered out-of-place, strange or mysterious is
in fact a normal relationship with the world. What do we mean by
that? Some 200 years after the beginning of feminism with Olympe
de Gouges, considered its heroic pioneer in France, 150 years after the
suffragette movement, some people still expect women artists to produce “feminine” art on the basis of some sort of old-fashioned mental
correlation with present-day post-feminist mores.

made even more beautiful through the work of the artists and their confrontation with the world, its randomness, chaos and brutality and with themselves. Raphael Denis speaks of the victims of history as he piles their portraits

the work of seven artists who are on the wave of the contemporary Chinese
expressionist movement, one that is distinctly evolved from the agitprop
aesthetics usually tied to the world of Chinese art post Cultural Revolution.
Closely inspecting the past decade in which rising artists have considered
new media, abstractionism and the manipulation of social media and technology, the show is a mindful commentary on the symbols and messages
that subvert and assert power in China’s social new landscape.

Since its creation in 1986, Oniris gallery has become a beacon for contemporary art in Brittany. The gallery specializes in abstraction in painting,
drawing and sculpture. For Art Paris Art Fair, the gallery has prepared an
exhibition that is emblematic of its area of interest with geometric abstraction and a special focus on François Morellet, Aurélie Nemours and
Véra Molnar. While conceptual rigour is what characterizes this form of
artistic expression, the different approaches of these artists demonstrate
that it remains extremely diverse and full or artistic vitality.

The gallery has given the duo Bachelot Caron “carte blanche” to create
an installation that utilizes photography, paintings and ceramics in line
with the fictional, staged work they have been making for many years.
They use photography as a sort of anti-discipline. They stage everything
carefully and use graphics liberally and thus transgress the moral basis of
photography: they double the artifice by not only staging but retouching
the images as well. Their art consists in creating the improbable. Not so
long ago, say last century, some people would have howled: “This is not
photography anymore!” Fortunately, history has shown that photography
is about good deal more than just capturing reality.

At Art Paris Art Fair, NH Galería presents an exhibition entitled Hálito divino – Divine breath by Ruby Rumié, which is the product of a
workshop held in Cartagena. Divine breath speaks of the pain and
trauma of women who have suffered from domestic violence as a way
of expressing themselves and healing. Crowned vase 31 represents the
emancipation of these women who were able to exorcise their pain.
The amulets look like the ones they were given as a token of their participation in the workshop

Lugano, Switzerland | www.primaenoctis.com | Primo Marella
Primae Noctis Art Gallery was founded in 2012 and is the Lugano-based
Swiss branch of the Milanese gallery Primo Marella. For Art Paris Art
Fair 2016, the gallery has organized a solo show of work by Filipino artist Ronald Ventura. With Hunting a New Ground, Ronald Ventura blurs
the lines between human beings, animals and plants and questions the
relationship between mankind and nature. He stages a symbolic hunt
in which either one can be the prey or the hunter. These hybrid creatures come with weapons, shields and armour, symbolizing man’s will
to control and nominate nature and humanity.

For the 2016 edition of Art Paris Art Fair, the gallery presents the work
of a singular artist: Deodato. This Italian artist is searching for “humanized symbolism:” through personal intimacy he reaches a symbolic
form of intimacy. Deodato recomposes life as a sort of mosaic made
up of familiar little moments.

Established in 1971 Tanit gallery focussed on American minimalists,
the Arte Povera movement and conceptual art. After 2002, the gallery
turned its attention to a younger generation of artists and an exhibition of Lebanese artists in 2004 started a new phase which led to the
opening of a space in Beirut in 2007. For this edition of Art Paris Art
Fair, the gallery presents the work of Fadi Yazigi who was born in 1966
in Lattakie in Syria and lives in Damascus. He paints and makes sculptures in his studio in the old city of Damascus in an attempt to express
the reality of daily life in Syria. His most recent sculpture entitled The
Ball is being presented for the first time.

The walls: Historic work and
contemporary creation
North and South walls of the Grand Palais
Art Paris Art Fair introduces a new cycle of exhibitions of rare historic work or
contemporary creations made specifically for the fair. Three projects are exhibited
on the North and South walls of the Grand Palais :
Emmanuel Régent, french
born in 1973
Emmanuel Régent has created
a new series of drawings for
Art Paris Art Fair entitled
“Stray Dogs and Shipwrecks,”
presented by Galerie Caroline
Smulders. Winner of the 2009
Prix Découverte des Amis du
Palais de Tokyo (Friends of
the Palais de Tokyo discovery
prize), Régent first came
to attention with his felttip drawings of crowds and
landscapes featuring seaside
rocks. These drawings are
full of expectation, slowness,
even emptiness and absence.

Dia Al-Azzawi, iraqi born in
1939
Claude Lemand Gallery pays
tribute to Dia Al-Azzawi with
a series of 12 drawings entitled
“Hanging Poems” (1978), a
graphic interpretation of the
seven pre-Islamic odes known
as the Mu‘allaqat. This group of
drawings will be the centerpiece
of the Dia Al-Azzawi retrospective
scheduled at the Mathaf in Doha
as well as in two major European
museums. A leading figure of
Arab modernity, Al-Azzawi is a
man of letters, a painter, sculptor,
engraver and draughtsman who
has always claimed a heritage
derived from Mesopotamian,
Pharaonic and Arabc civilisations
and their place in the history
of modern and contemporary
European
and
International
history of art.

Erró, Icelandic born in 1932
In collaboration with the Vienna
Angerlehner Museum, Ernst
Hilger Gallery presents the
series entitled Femmes fatales,
made between 1987 and 1996.

colours, Erró gives a humouristic
twist to his renderings of the
myths of beautiful and deadly
superwomen.
He
jumbles
categories and time frames,
juxtaposing all kinds of iconic
women, from Joan of Arc
to
Catwoman,
Madonna,
Walkyries and Tank Girl to
others drawn from history
as well as our own daily
fantastic world of advertising,
news photography, political
documents,
comic
books,
newspaper cartoon strips and

DAUM EXHIBITION ON STREET ART
For more than a century, there has been an on-going love story between
Daum, the legendary crystal and glass manufacturer and the leading artists of
the day, giving their work a second lease on life in glass and colour. From the
École de Nancy to Art Nouveau and Art Deco, Majorelle, Dali, George Braque
and Arman, Daum has missed none of the great moments of artistic creation
and modern know-how with this everlasting marriage between art and craft.
On the occasion of Art Paris Art Fair, Daum
presents a number of artistic pieces from the
street art movement and its origins with Cyril
Phan, aka Kongo, one of the leading figures
of graffiti art. Also on show is famous French
street artist Jérôme Mesnager, Romuald
Hazoumé who stands against modern slavery,
Gonçalo Mabunda who uses weapons as a
creative medium and finally, Alain Séchas
who is influenced by the world of comics.
