The artist Edith Auclair invites you to the exhibition she is presenting this time with her mother, Brigitte Beaulieu, at the Galerie de Miss Rey.
While the opening of L’accord de nos souvenirs was held on November 13, the exhibition continues until December 24. But we will have to be content with works that have not already been acquired during the successful event, since around fifteen paintings were sold at the launch alone.
Works by Auclair
The more accustomed clientele of the gallery, who will have experienced the quality work of its permanent artist, will recognize the unique style of Edith Auclair, her strokes of the spatula and her dynamism, in this new collection composed of large contemporary canvases in modern tones. But it is according to a new approach that visitors will discover his work, in a context brought by another dimension.
“There is a world behind appearances. –Edith Auclair
Works by Beaulieu
As for the works of Brigitte Beaulieu, of remarkable finesse and colors matching those of her daughter, they were produced in ink and brushes and are available in smaller formats.
Sound to enhance your experience
Through their works, mother and daughter wish to “share memories of the past with you. Memories that are sometimes sad and often joyful. Memories that carry an emotional charge. Memories that will probably join yours. To this experience is added carefully chosen music to support the visual.
Because, it must be emphasized, this is not an exhibition like the others, since, as the owner of the gallery, Clea Reynolds, tells us, “This one appeals to several senses! ". It is indeed thanks to the QR code, carefully printed on the price cards placed next to Edith Auclair's paintings, that visitors who scan it with their device have the possibility of playing the music that Ms. Auclair has chosen to associate with each work, and to hear it with their own headphones, a question of sanitary hygiene.
Thus, the works À Part and The curtain falls before the end can be discovered on the song You Don’t Own Me, by Lesley Gore, a song released in 1963 and which “is still relevant” for Edith. “The lyrics from this era take us strongly back to 2021 and its feminicides. Both works expose the part of us that others see. There is a world behind appearances. These memories that forget will make you live the journey of women through time, ”promises Ms. Auclair.
You have to admire the painting entitled You Float Like a Feather while listening to a female cover of Creep, the famous song by the group Radiohead, and let yourself be lulled by a soft and melancholy voice as you contemplate the movement created by the spatula strokes.
