绘画，一直具有刻画形象的神奇力量，能吸引观众而不会成为过时的表现形式；绘画，自成天地。 是次《法国．异象 - 法国当代绘画展》共邀请八位法国着名艺术家参展，包括罗南．巴罗、法兰克．沙朗达、尚皮翁．梅塔迪耶、马克．帝格朗尚、菲利普．科涅、茜尔维．法伊弗劳斯卡、奥利维．马斯蒙泰和达迈尔．塔塔。参展的八位艺术家都曾在法国及国外办过展览，这次是他们首次应邀来澳展出。 八位艺术家主要采取具象、抽象或隐约介于两者之间的表现形式，以创意出众的艺术作品，表现其非凡的艺术才华和艺术热诚。 通过新旧交错、传统与现代并存的创造性技巧，绘画得以从过去对主题、载体或空间的束缚中解放出来，探索新模式，扩展新领域。绘画是一种思考及观察的方式，是用新的眼光来看这世界。他们以画家自命，凭其出色探索，为当代艺术作出重大贡献。 绘画一幅幅挂在那儿，给人观看，始终静止不动，屹立不倒；不像其他媒体，绘画是我们生活的稳重支柱、为我们製造特殊的欣赏时刻。当今世界，相继而来的影像无情闪过，绘画更是不可或缺。 Painting has always had the magical ability to portray images and to attract an audience without ever being an outdated form of representation; it is a world of its own. “A Glimpse at French Contemporary Painting” presents eight French artists who’s paintings have made a significant contribution to contemporary art; Ronan Barrot, Franck Chalendard, Champion Métadier, Marc Desgrandchamps, Philippe Cognée, Sylvie Fajfrowska, Olivier Masmonteil and Djamel Tatah. Already featured in solo or group exhibitions in France and abroad, this is the first time their work will be displayed in Macao. Through impressive and creative art works, the exhibition highlights these outstanding and promising artists, each selected for being highly dedicated to painting works that are either figurative or abstract, or somewhere enigmatically in between. Simultaneously old and new, traditional and modern, painting is a truly inventive technique that is free from many former constraints regarding the subject, support or space. Presently exploring new modalities and broadening its scope, painting is a way of thinking, of looking at things and seeing the world anew. Declaring themselves as painters, these artists brilliantly demonstrate that this form of art is doing amazingly well. There to be seen, paintings remain strong and still; unlike other mediums, it is a fixed presence in our lives, a privileged moment and a necessity in today’s world where images relentlessly flash by one after another.
