A catalogue Piero Pizzi Canella for Di Meo

Created for Galerie Di Meo, the catalogue for Piero Pizzi Cannella’s exhibition

For Piero Pizzi Cannella’s exhibition at di Meo gallery, from October 26 until December 16, Communic’Art has created for the gallery an 80-pages catalogue including 34 images, a foreword by Lydie and Nello di Meo, a letter by the artist and a text by Laurent Boudier, a journalist and art critic.

CanellaPizzi Cannella, born in Rome in 1955, belongs to the New Roman School.

His exhibition, entitled Omaggi, is a tribute to the great masters of painting, Duccio, Caravaggio, Goya, Velazquez, Delacroix, Matisse, Picasso, Rembrandt, Giotto, Bronzino expressed through suttle links : a fragment, a color, a line, a story. Besides these twelve tributes is a series of oil and gouache works.

« Radical painting, resolutely contemporary, not necessarily proclaiming its intention out loud, but – in the image of Pizzi Cannella himself, tattered and restless – imposing its beliefs. Again and again, art as a wound, the delicate death of an instant in time » writes Laurent Boudier.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazaon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe.

An event within the event, the party Nuit Ecarlate was a successful alchemy of art and party.

A catalogue Donald Judd for JGM. Galerie

Communic'art has created the catalogue of the exhibition of Donald Judd's Furniture. These works are presented in Paris at JGM. Galerie

For an exhibition of a series of furniture by Donald Judd, JGM. galerie, has entrusted Communic’Art with the creation of a 16-pages catalogue including 24 works and an extract of a text by Ghislain Mollet-Viéville published in a book entitled Art Minimal et Conceptuel (Skira).

JuddDonald Judd is one of the key artists of minimalism, an art movement born in the United States in the 1960s.

Conceived as a reaction to the subjectivity of Abstract Expresssionism and to the figuration of Pop Art, minimalism is caracterised, among other things, by a preoccupation to save means.

“Minimalists begin with the idea that the work must focus on its own realité (…): the content of the scultpure and the sculpture itself, without ambiguity. There is no idea camouflaged behind the work, but rather an idea and its materialization which are one!” writes Ghislain Mollet-Viéville.

Starting in 1984, Donald Judd draws furniture produced in a series and in raw materials. Today, still, his Foundation produces this furniture.

The exhibition presented at JGM. Galerie is composed by pieces of furniture ordered for that occasion : chairs, stolls, desks, armchairs, benches.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe.

Through the window, the artist illuminates a small part of it with a lamp, allowing the eyes to discover it and become a witness of its infinity.

After a first exhibition in Milan in 1978, Marco Tirelli participates to the Venice Biennale in 1981 and 1990.

He presents his works all over the workd, from New York to Paris and Tokyo, and participates to numerous international exhibitions in Sao Paulo, Sidney or Paris. A number of national collections own his work.

A catalogue Dessein d’eau for Saint-Cloud

Communic'Art has created a catalogue for presenting the course of contemporary art created by Agnes Pezeu at Domaine National de Saint Cloud

“Dessein d’eau,” an artistic event based on the work of Agnès Pezeu, will be on view from May 11th to July 15th, 2006 at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud and Ville d’Avray with the sponsorship of Nestlé Waters France.

Dessein_d_eauThe book created by Communic’Art is characterized by a number of texts facing photographs of the installations.

The catalogue presents an analytic and critical text by art historian Francis Parent, a text describing the stroll of the exhibition, and a historical one on the hydraulic network, both written by Leslie Lepers.

The photographs of the works, taken by Claude Gassian, enhance their aesthetical relationship with Nature and History.

This contemporary art stroll was conceived to reveal the large hydraulic network that stands as a historical link between the two locations.

For three centuries, the waters of Ville d’Avray have nourished the spectacle of fountains, sprays and falls that represent one of the main richness of the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud.

The stroll is materialized by a succession of works: monumental canvases are submerged in ponds or supdended in trees; mirrors made in surprising shapes and sizes are positionned on, in, and along the water; and engraved glass blocks are inlayed in the ground.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe

A catalogue Rosson Crow for Nathalie Obadia

Communic'Art has created for galerie Nathalie Obadia the first monograph on Rosson Crow, a young american artist

Galerie Nathalie Obadia publishes the first catalogue on Rosson Crow, a young american artist whose work is already in a number of French and American public and private collections.

CrowThe catalogue gathers a series of twenty works conceived between 2005 and 2006 – ten of which are reproduced on full pages and an introduction by New York art critic and curator Kathy Grayson, in French and English.

Born in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, Rosson Crow currently finishes her art studies at the prestigious Yale University.

She started showing her work in New York in 2004 and in 2005 got a solo exhibition at galerie Nathalie Obadia in Paris. In 2007, the artist is planning to come to live and work in Paris.

Rosson Crow shows a great aesthetic maturity and a very personal dreamlike world. Her large carvases are abstract representations of baroque environments (interior decors or outside landscapes).

Objects, furniture and people take distended shapes and seem to belong to a very strong let alone sometimes disturbing mental sphere, somehow echoing David Lynch’s movies.

Sharp colors, sometimes almost fluorescent, convey a crude and very contemporary tonality in the work. The technique used by the artist, a mixture of oil, paint and enamel, gives materiality, volume and intensity to the paintings. Rosson Crow’s work constantly oscillates between delight and delirium.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe
