description
True to its vocation of promoting contemporary creation, driven by the desire to raise public awareness of the visual arts and to encourage the emergence of new collectors,association Carré sur Seine resumes the Écoutez-Voir cycle.
We are happy to see you, finally, in person!
Every month in Boulogne-Billancourt, these meetings-projections with today's artists are unique moments of sharing. Écoutez-Voir is an opportunity to approach the work of artists in an original way, to penetrate the secrets of their approach and to question the elements of their work.
Don't miss the next meeting: Monday 15 November 2021 at 6.30 pm.
Privileged encounters with artists in the intimacy and magic of a projection room. Every month, three artists, in turn, present their work and tell you about their world, their career and their approach. Questions, debates, autographs and a cocktail party close the presentation.
All artistic disciplines are covered, from painting to video, including sculpture, installations and photography. A great opportunity for artistic investigation, real moments of sharing and dialogue between artists, collectors and members of Carré sur Seine !
Three artists in the spotlight this Monday 15 November 2021
Lélia Demoisy - Plastic artist
Luci Garcia - Draughtswoman
Nils Vandevenne - Plastic artist
Lélia Demoisy

Lélia Demoisy's work, whether in sculpture or installation, tends to emphasise our bodily relationship to matter as a fundamental fact of our relationship to life. This is why many of her pieces contain materials that are derived from it. Always recovered, they already carry a history and convey, through hybridization, unsuspected aspects of our relationship to animals and plants. By highlighting the similarities between these two kingdoms, architectures-gabbits of the living appear and echo our own bodies. These materials such as skin, wood, horn, bone or feather are able to resonate with our own bodies because we already carry them within us.
We know in advance what they feel like and have expectations about their weight, their fragility, their warmth. Disrupting this data also disrupts the personal memories we have of our own experiences with these others. memories of our own experiences with these other beings in the world and beings that inhabit the world and thus recreate the encounter with the other.
Luci Garcia
-draughtswoman-
My work is an attempt to assert the necessity of representations of death in the 21st century. Drawing is my preferred tool for this. The "father of our three arts" according to Vasari, it allows me to manipulate graphite, and with it, to reconstitute in a carbonized powder these bodies from the judicial archives. Suspended on the surface of the support, this ashen material makes the figures of these decaying spectres emerge, confronting the true image of death, giving access to these visions banished by Western society. From the paradoxical movements generated by the practice itself, my drawings question the viewer's relationship with death in a necessary and always fertile confrontation that translates the movements of an era.
"He who draws nourishes the project of abolishing the distance that he measures between himself and reality. It is a passage. It appears or reappears each time art comes up against an impasse, or an impossibility." Jean Clair - The possibility of a way out

In my work, rather than painting, I seek to de-paint, to remove the material from the surface of the painting. This gesture of alteration leaves only a thin layer of paint: a form in negative. The colour is torn away by the tool, the materials resurface and enter into dialogue and confrontation with the last state of life of the object.
In contrast to the common understanding of painting as adding material to form the subject, I choose to remove it in a process that acts as a revelation. When I alter the surface, all the stratifications of the object's former life emerge. This gesture of subtracting the material is an animal, instinctive gesture.
So I search, look, and finally find a material history of the life of the support, or of what it was. The result then takes the form of a grid, a circle, or a simple line.
