The Galerie de Buci unveils its new exhibition: "LIVING GODS", a selection of paintings by the Icelandic artist Reinar Foreman. The artist lives and works in Reykjavik and his work has already been the subject of several exhibitions in Europe, solo or in groups: in Germany, Russia, and Iceland. “LIVING GODS” is his first solo show in France, presenting fifteen new paintings which are part of the creative journey of Reinar Foreman, while affirming his artistic identity.

For the “LIVING GODS” series, Reinar Foreman was inspired by Antiquity. The painter seeks to reinterpret myths by updating them. Halfway between figurative art and abstraction, he shows the powerful, sometimes severe, nature of human emotions, with simplified but vibrant shapes and colors. This complex vision of ancient mythology gives Foreman's paintings a particular magic, while his sources of inspiration are world-famous: the composition of Apollo and Daphne refers to Bernini's famous sculpture at the Galleria Borghese, while the construction of The Rape of the Sabine is reminiscent of that of Renaissance master Gianbologna.
