Taking the long way home

Galerie Mark Hachem presents the exhibition "Taking the long way home," by British sculptor established in France since 1990, James Chedburn, offers an escape into a magical world at Galerie Mark Hachem - Paris. Chedburn’s figurative work, a true ode to movement, transcends the boundaries of traditional art to offer a unique sensory experience. In this exhibition, the impact of these captivating sculptures is enhanced by Jean-François Deroubaix's mesmerizing photographs.

The pieces on display reveal James Chedburn's deepest aspirations towards exploration, from Casablanca to Liverpool, those legendary destinations that fuel our imaginations and give rise to an unquenchable thirst for adventure. The artist invites us to embark on unusual vessels, made from bric-a-brac and recycled objects, giving a second life to treasures of the past. These singular vessels transport us to poetic and imaginary lands, awakening in us childhood dreams, those moments when we aspired to escape from everyday life, sailing freely in the air and on the waves, freed from all temporal constraints.

James Chedburn's exhibition is much more than a simple artistic presentation; it is an immersion into the heart of creativity where visitors are invited to give free rein to their imaginations and emotions. The British artist's sculptures provoke deep reflection on our relationship to space, time, and the quest for a better world, reminding us that dreams and aspirations are essential drivers in our lives. In contemplating Chedburn's work, we are transported to distant horizons, where the boundaries of reality dissolve, allowing the imagination to blossom uninhibited.
