VERNISSAGE > VENDREDI 13 SEPTEMBRE, 18H – 21H
\nEXPOSITION DU 14 SEPTEMBRE AU 13 OCTOBRE<\/p>\n
La galerie Martine Ehmer pre\u0301sente le cinquie\u0300me solo show de l\u2019artiste belge Christian Silvain.
\nCette exposition en deux facettes pre\u0301sentera d\u2019une part, les oeuvres re\u0301centes de l\u2019artiste et d\u2019autre part des oeuvres plus anciennes retra\u00e7ant l\u2019e\u0301volution de Silvain a\u0300 travers diffe\u0301rentes pe\u0301riodes de son Art.
\nL\u2019artiste poursuit sa que\u0302te de l\u2019enfance dont il a e\u0301te\u0301 tant prive\u0301. Dans ses oeuvres re\u0301centes, il de\u0301laisse un peu les figures animales entoure\u0301es de personnages de bandes dessine\u0301es et de jouets pour laisser place aux paysages de son enfance et aux portraits autobiographiques. La pre\u0301sence d\u2019objets tels que les bouts de bois et chaussures d\u2019enfant symbolise l\u2019enfant e\u0301gare\u0301, solitaire dans une vaste fore\u0302t angoissante. Signe que ses de\u0301mons sont toujours pre\u0301sents. On de\u0301ce\u0300le un retour vers le passe\u0301 ou\u0300 les objets, cages, jouets, chaussures e\u0301taient tre\u0300s pre\u0301sentes dans ses oeuvres.
\nArtiste majeure de la sce\u0300ne belge dont les oeuvres sont pre\u0301sentes dans non moins de 70 muse\u0301es belges et europe\u0301ens, Christian Silvain a depuis le de\u0301but de l\u2019anne\u0301e e\u0301tendu sa notorie\u0301te\u0301 en Asie.<\/p>\n
Martine Ehmer Gallery presents the fifth solo show of Belgian artist Christian Silvain.
\nThis two-sided exhibition will present, on the one hand, the artist\u2019s recent works and on the other hand, older works retracing the evolution of Silvain through different periods of his Art.
\nAlthough evolving in different styles, the artist continues his quest for childhood which he has been so deprived. In his recent works, he puts aside the animal figures surrounded by characters from comics and toys to make room for the landscapes of his childhood and autobiographical portraits. The presence of objects such as pieces of wood and child- ren\u2019s shoes symbolizes the lost, lonely child in a vast agonizing forest. Sign that his demons are still present. We observe a return to the past where objects, cages, toys, shoes were very present in his works.
\nMajor artist of the Belgian scene whose works are present in no less than 70 Belgian and European museums, Christian Silvain has since the beginning of the year extended its notoriety in Asia.<\/p>\n
