Virginie Yassef FRI remember after a long walk in the Sussex countryside one day I decided to tackle some larger panels. (…) On the walk I had realised that Nature despite being made from essentially the same stuff has all these different textures because of differing techniques and orderings it utilises; spiky grass, branching trees, undulating hills and billowing clouds are the way they are because of different causal systems that drive them. I wanted to get that sense of a complex of differing textures into these works. Of being lost in the complexity of the Whole.” (Keith Tyson)
“People have always painted flowers. Since Antiquity, a host of artists have brought all the meticulous precision of the miniaturist to their depictions of stems, pistils and petals in clusters or corollas. Over the centuries, the flower has established itself as an inescapable motif, a classic subject. Why, one might ask. Is it because a flower means more than just what it is, gives more pause for thought than the countryside in which it grows? Such success is no doubt linked to the high degree of symbolic meaning that has become attached to the flower over the course of time.” (Marianne Mathieu)
Keith Tyson was born in 1969 in Ulverston, Cumbria (UK). He completed a degree in at Brighton University in 1993. Three years later, he received the ICA Arts & Innovation Award, and in 2002 won the prestigious Turner Prize.His work has been exhibited at the Centre Georges-Pompidou, Whitney Museum, Royal Academy, Tate Modern, the ICA and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and is held in collections around the world including the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Copenhagen), Arts Council (London), MoMA (New York), Centre Georges-Pompidou (Paris) and Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art. He lives and works in Sussex and is represented by Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois since 1997.
A book will be published on the occasion of the show Les Fleurs, which includes the texts above.
For his 6th solo show at the gallery, Keith Tyson decided to work on that classical “style” and presents a series of twenty unseen paintings, achievement of five years of gestation.

“I began thinking whether I might be able to make some paintings with a similar attitude to that of the flower arranger, combining varied styles and techniques of painting in a single work just for the visual pleasure and poetry of it. Each brushstroke being like a petal, each style of painting like a flower. (…) I also wanted the paintings to have a wide range of style and texture.

“ Pilar Albarracín is a significant artist of the contemporary Spanish scene who was born in Sevilla in 1968.
With a caustic sense of humor, Pilar enjoys diverting clichés of pop culture in such a tragic and comic way that we cannot help but wonder about the role played by women in personal, social and political spheres.
Embodying a thousand women on her own, from a flamenca to a housekeeper, the artist offers viewers a cheerful catharsis through her scenarios and performances, denying them the temptation to slip into naive clichés called by conservative, populist and fascist policies, always eager to crowd out our collective imagination.
For the Project room at Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois, she presents four new photos from the Anatomía flamenca series inspired by her performance projectLe Duende Volé realized in 2012 at the Mont-de-Marsan Festival.
From the latin “ dominus “, which translates to “ dueño “ in Spanish (master), the concept of duende exists in Spanish popular culture through flamenco singing and bullfighting. In a poetic metaphor, the duende lives in the inside and connects flesh and desire. In flamenco, it comes to life through speech and gestures, but it extends to all artistic fields when it comes to making the difference between true inspiration and deception. The poet Federico Garcia Lorca devotes lecture series to this notion, considering that the duende arises from the struggle between the body and another one dwelling in the inside. Daring to expose one’s genuine relationship with art calls in the duende to awake and engage in a fight with it. Logic and common sense then break apart giving way to eroticism which owns the freshness of newly created things. “
Valentine Meyer
Like many of Albarracín’s works, the series of photos entitled Anatomía flamenca is made of cathartic parodies and tragicomedies. Each one of them (Seguiriya para un esqueleto, Vísceras por tanguillos, Fandangos por venas y arterias, Soleá por músculos) features the artist performing some burlesque dance moves where eroticism meets death, or where misbehaviors leading to freedom are taken to extremes. Along with the iconic video, Lunares (2004).A unique series of works will add the finish touch, making the Project room’s sensual atmosphere even more significant.
