ART WEEKEND IN VENICE 2023

Working on the basis of "Packagings" and objects, strong and popular symbols of the consumer society, the French artist Fred Allard explores different universes which are as many sources of inspiration for him.... By freezing these ephemeral objects in time, he gives them an eternal existence. Using the technique of inclusion, he compresses and crystallises iconic products in resignia. The bag is the central object of his collections, diverted by a play on transparency. 

Born in Paris in the 1960s, Patrick Rubinstein was influenced by the British rock spirit and American pop culture of his childhood. Combining the principle of the Dooble, which consists of merging two images designed to blend into one, applied to an accordion-like support, and the Triple, which creates a variation in perception through movement by means of lateral views created by slats perpendicular to the central image, he gives the works a lively and perpetually renewed aspect.

Paul Sibuet is a French sculptor who creates colorful contemporary works based on the principle of optical illusion : he is famous for its aluminium and resin paint can sculptures. Soon, he breaks free from the techniques taught by exploring his own perceptions of the object and volumes, thus creating his signature. In his "installations", first monochrome then multicolor and representational productions, the artist plays with physical constraints to bring spaces to life.
