Sous Les Etoiles Gallery in Paris

(New York, November 2017) - Sous Les Etoiles Gallery is pleased to be in Paris during Paris Photo for the exhibition “Eloquent Geometry, Shape, line-relief” a joint exhibition between Sous Les Etoiles Gallery and Espace Meyer Zafra in Paris. The exhibition will be open from November 9, 2017 to January 9, 2018, with an opening reception November 9, from 6-8 PM at Espace Meyer Zafra, 4 Rue Malher, 75004 Paris. 

“Eloquent Geometry” will examine the artistic dialogue between Venezuelan artists of kinetic and geometric art with a young generation of European abstract photographers. The South American Kinetic Art Movement emphasized color and dynamism and gained an immense following in Venezuela in the mid-20th century. Today, fine art photography has seen a resurgence of the art of abstraction, with artists revisiting the use of photograms or using computers to disrupt notions of photographic representation and objectivity. 

The artists in the exhibition include:

César Andrade, b. 1939, Venezuela, uses light to create works that encourage viewer engagement. The straight line and the point are the two first elements of geometry and are at the heart of Andrade’s work.

Nina Brauhauser, b. 1980 in Düsseldorf, studied photography at Folkwang University of the Arts (Essen) and the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (Netherlands). Reducing photography to new sculptural forms and wall objects, Brauhauser creates ambiguities between 2-dimensional chromogenic prints and 3-dimensional space.  

Since the artist’s acclaimed series featuring Tupperware in the 1990s, Richard Caldicott, b. 1962, England, continually challenges photographic codes of representation in favor of new aesthetic and symbolic intentions. Employing traditional analog photography methods, Caldicott imbues his minimalist set of components with rich, vibrant color.
