From December 4, 2014 to January 24, 2015, Arielle d'Hauterives gallery presents five artists through the exhibition "Winter Discoveries": Anne de Harlez, Marlène Chombart, Hélène Goddyn, Irène Philips and Pascale Lander. A work of research and introspection of body and mind is common to the works of these five artists. Tea Time Sunday January 11 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. "The feminine face of the world", the work of Anne de Harlez, is a whole questioning on the feminine / masculine, on the perception of time, on the element of nature that we are but also of the nature that is around from U.S. Anne de Harlez works with curved, ovoid shapes or endless series. Its materials are as fragile as posidonia or as strong as bronze. The size of his pieces ranges from small to monumental. The topic can be intimate or very public. But the search is constant, trying to find the heart of the female soul. For her series "Chimères", Marlène Chombart, novelist-professor of letters and self-taught artist, used her usual ballpoint pens and her watercolor for the purposes of comic introspection. The chimeras of Antiquity have become polymorphic characters, with two heads where feathers and clothes come together in a shimmering color. The absurdity of appearing, the hypocrisy of the self-image spread around the globe at the time of the fashion for "selfies" and other changing self-portraits, empty avatars, supposed to represent us, this is what Marel has chosen to emphasize , not without humor. Visual artist, Hélène Goddyn uses digital art and promotes it to the public as an artistic medium in its own right. She is part of the Wonderful Art movement: a positive, spiritual art that seeks the very essence of creation. His signature "Create to live and make a better world!" It is life and her daily life that led Hélène to focus on medical imaging through her series "The Human Mandalas". The mandala is an object of sacred worship. A strong symbol, the mandala created from medical imagery, forms a perfect harmony. Along with mandalas, she is developing work on collective memory by reinterpreting known paintings or iconographies, with contemporary subjects. She mixes the technique of digital drawing, associated with that of photography and the scanning of materials in the same painting. Through her work, she leads the public towards research and towards a change of angle of view and perception on current subjects. Poetry and positive energy emerge from his works. The works of Irene Philips in 2 and 3 dimensions, both miniature and monumental, are inhabited by female and male figures. These poetically translate both sweet, intimate and meditative events as painful episodes in life. These characters are actors and play different roles inspired by our fragile and contradictory society. Human relations, contemporary evolution between man and woman, man and nature, overpopulation, religion, etc. are recurring themes in her work, and in 2012 she began to create an alphabet with her human figures. She illustrated 'Holoversum' by Claude van de Berge published by Uitgeverij P de Leuven in 2007 and 'Sérénade' by André Doms published by L'herbe qui tremble in Paris in 2013. In 2014 the publication of the 'Philips Human Alphabet' came out at Medusa Publishing in Tervuren. Pascale Lander, former student at the Jacques Lecoq theater school in Paris, she took morphology classes at the School of Fine Arts, as well as eurythmy training. She graduated in sign language. Between nudity and modesty, secrecy and revelation, literality and poetry, Pascale Lander's work allows us to see through the body and in the body the infinite unveiling of femininity. If her style flirts with academic painting, she frees herself from it with a form that is both free and demanding, given her a singular path. It is as a painter that she approaches photography in her series "Corps & Canevas". It results from a workshop work, where she moved the pictorial act from the surface of the painting to the skin of the model. The body is no longer the object of representation. It becomes a tool and a living material.
