The Galerie Jaeger Bucher intrusted Communic’Art with the media campaigns of Hanns Schimansky’ s exhibition, from May, 29th to July, 17th, 2010 at Galerie Jaeger Bucher, located in the Marais in Paris.

Hanns Schimansky was born in 1949 in East Germany. Trained as an agronomist engineer, he decided in 1979 to devote his career to art and more particularly to drawing.

In this exhibition, Hanns Schimansky is showing 40 drawings made between 2007 and 2010.

These drawings, written as much as drawn, attempt to capture and to prolong the present moment, to mirror the rhythm of the universe. Using and provoking the idea of chance, he metaphorically slows the headlong speed at which we live in today’s world, dominated as it is by the media. Geometric shapes and intercrossing, looping lines, accentuated by the folds in the paper he uses, form Schimansky’s unmistakeable energetic graphic style: cities and landscapes appear, through which we are invited to travel.

“By holding the instrument at an acute angle to the surface in order to make downward moving lines or rolling the drawing tool to make a twisting, rough-edged line, Schimansky undermines the more familiar, fluid movement of a pencil or paint stick across the paper. (…) In some drawings, it’s as if different abstract, hieroglyphs have invaded each other’s territory, forming a new hybrid language”, writes John Yau, poet and art critic, in the introduction for the catalogue for this show.

Hanns Schimansky has shown widely in Europe, especially in Germany, in particular he has had important solo shows held at the Gemeentemuseum in La Haye, at the Staatscliche Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe as well as at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Neuchâtel in Switzerland. The artist’s work figures in the public collections of the National Contemporary Art Museum in Oslo, de la Berlinische Galerie, the National Contemporary Art Museum  in Berlin and the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Neuchâtel as well as in other major public collections.

The exhibition La Ligne Claire takes place on May, 29th to July, 17th, 2010 at Galerie Jaeger Bucher. The opening with the presence of the artist, will be held on Saturday, May 29th at 3.pm.

Portuguese artist Rui Moreira, born 1971, works exclusively on paper, his chosen medium for translating physical and mental experiences.

This exhibition, Inner Monsoon, is his first in France . It presents a series of ‘inner landscapes’, three groups of works on paper, figurative and abstract, with a unity of flow and movement. The pieces alternately evoke divinities, landscapes and geometric constructions. Each is worked painstakingly, patiently, the lines being repeated endlessly, like a ritually enacted mnemonic exercise.

The works are characterised by their lack of visual borderline so the spectator is able to view the work from within. They have neither chronology nor linear spatialisation. Arising from travels in Morocco and India, inner voyages and outer rhizomes form landscapes that translate the inner displacement whether spatial, temporal, physical or mental.

Each image has grown out of a multiplicity of influences (a film sequence, a poem, a piece of music, a journey, a photograph or other work) and seeks no specific synthesis or definitive result other than superimposing various states of flux amont the different works.

The exhibition will showcase twenty or so works on paper and a film entitled Conquering the Concave about the monumental dome painted by Rui Moreira in a church in the Algarve, Portugal. A bilingual French/English catalogue introduced by the Portuguese art critic Manuel Castro Caldas, will be published for the exhibition.
