Dans son denier travail, intitulé Ecostream, Guillaume Janot explore par la photographie certains environnements factices ou reconstitués, des décors. De Disneyland au jardin botanique de Sydney, en passant par Pékin ou le zoo de Vincennes, l’univers des images qui composent ce corpus est celui d’espaces à forte dimension factice, délocalisés et fabriqués de toutes pièces, dont l’usage est essentiellement voué aux loisirs. L'exposition à la fondation Ricard présente un ensemble de photographies inédites réalisées entre 2007 et 2009. Le titre de la série, qui est aussi le titre de l’exposition, est emprunté à un lieu particulier d’un grand parc public de Pékin, où le promeneur peut s’immerger dans une campagne fleurie, idyllique où l’illusion de nature (à la fois sauvage et rassurante) est savamment mise en scène. A travers ce travail, loin de « mettre à distance » ou d’opérer un pas de côté pour révéler/dénoncer l’artificialité et cette fameuse dimension factice des lieux, l’artiste, au contraire, prolonge, sur-joue par l’image leur tentative (ou la nôtre), parfois naïve, d’immersion dans un « ailleurs ». De prime abord trompés, nous parcourons ainsi par l’image un monde et ses singularités, un monde qui nous semble familier ou exotique, et dont seul le titre des photographies, qui situe et nomme les lieux, nous révèle leur réelle nature.

Ion Studio presents: Once Upon a Graffiti by Helene Mukhtar December 3rd 2009 to January 5th 2010 Opening reception, Thursday, December 3rd, from 7PM to 9PM Ion Studio, 41 Wooster Street, Soho, New York, NY 10013 For more information call Natia Dune 212 343 9060 Continuing on her exploration of the graffiti idiom, Helene Mukhtar presents her latest mixed media paintings based on photographs of graffiti she took in New York, Paris and Berlin. These elements, collaged onto the canvas and sometimes combined with photographs of architectural details, become the basis of her creative exploration. They form an abstract urban landscape around which she develops her narrative. Reflecting on events in Gaza, Iran or war in general, the artist works with acrylic paint and magic markers to create compelling, sometimes humorous, complex images, enriched with bright, muscular colors. The collage elements are like a puzzle, says Mukhtar about her work process, it is up to me to integrate them into a harmonious visual statement. I proceed through trial and error. It becomes an obsession and I do not stop until I have achieved my goal. Helene Mukhtar received her MFA from Florida State University. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and France. Recent exhibitions include the Agora Gallery, Icosahedron Gallery, Art Gotham, the National Arts Club in New York City, and solo shows at 440 Gallery in Brooklyn and Galerie ArtSud in Toulouse, France.
