A World of Abstraction

After taking an interest in Japanese, Chilean, Caribbean, Moroccan and Mexican contemporary art, the 193 Gallery offers us a world tour of abstraction.

After minimal art, 5 artists from 5 continents (Thailand, Cuba, Burkina Faso, Australia and France) present their approaches to abstraction.

Abstract art is an international movement that dominates the entire 20th century. It breaks with a traditional conception of art as an imitation of nature. It does not represent subjects or objects from the natural world, but shapes and colours for their own sake.

Non-figurative, this art uses different codes in its realization as well as the senses and imagination of those who look at it. The goal is not to copy reality, nor to create one, but to create a visual experience and to feel emotions.

Our 5 abstract artists share this desire to invite the spectator to feel emotions, rather than trying to represent the visible appearances of the world.
outside, free from visual reality.

The magic of abstract art lies in the fact that everyone gives free rein to their own interpretation.
From geometrical or lyrical abstraction, from pointillism to minimalist art, the different currents of abstraction are represented in this exhibition.

This world tour takes us to the 5 continents: Africa with Hyacinthe Ouattara (Burkina Faso), Asia with Kitikong Tilokwattanotai (Thailand), in partnership with Galerie Arnaud Lebecq, America and the Caribbean with René Francisco (Cuba), Europe with Jade Fenu (France) and finally Oceania, with a selection of Australian Aboriginal painters, in partnership with Arts d'Australie - Stéphane Jacob.

A dialogue is created between these artists coming from the 4 corners of the world, with the will to present their perceptions of the world, between dreams and abstract reality.
