A work by French artist Leonard Combier is like a riddle that can never quite be solved. Something always slips your notice or escapes your eye, resisting your attempt to unravel every clue. What attracted us to his work is an ongoing project featuring “tattooed” passports of travellers that Leonard has been doing for the last five years. Now he wants to bring an attention for this cause in terms of global situation
“Léonard Combier’s work deals with causality and liberty. In a world where everything interrelates and can only be understood as a vast chain reaction, how is freedom conceivable? This applies as much to the artist who is caught in a system of his own creation, as to the viewer whose gaze finds no exit. The answer, I believe, lies in the Combier’s sense of humour. Humour provides the only solution, a multi-directional vector leading to different levels of interpretation, the choice of which is left up to the viewer. It pervades Combier’s entire work, from the bizarre figures to the comical texts, as the artist’s mischievous playfulness sets the scenes of his different worlds like those in a vaudeville play – save the final twist in the plot, which is never revealed. Yet there is always the mystery contact, whose phone number is etched into each work.”

In these times of introspection and inner experiences this journey invites us to explore certain dimensions of solitude. What projects, what works of art, even what friends do we imagine within four walls?
How can artists help us to live and understand this new daily life? This exhibition is entirely modelled in 3D and can be viewed from the comfort of your own home.
It is a space specially designed for the occasion, populated with works that the artists have designed and adapted from a distance in an extremely short time.
In order to make these digital spaces, often too arid, a little more humane, the artists have recorded a few messages that you will be able to discover in the exhibition.

“From Rembrandt I’ve learned how little light there is in man. The Rembrandtesque portrait exhausts all its light resources; there is no more light in it. Light itself seems to be the interior refraction of a light that dies somewhere, far away. Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro doesn’t derive from bringing clarity and darkness in close proximity but from the illusion of light and from the infinity of the shadow. From Rembrandt I’ve learned that the world is born out of the shadow…”

“These reincarnated virtual models challenge, by their attitude and defiant stare, our understanding of reality. Goddesses, princes and zoomorphic creatures make up a portrait gallery at once beautiful and intriguing, peopled with beings shaped from some mythical, cosmic substance.These apparitions born of the union of Humankind, of Nature and of the Universe, invite us to share, as if in a time capsule, in a journey across the ages, perhaps to discover a totally different reality. “

“We live in a society ruled by social conventions and labels with pre-established set of traits that would be construed as weak, weird, bad, or unacceptable. My work aims to use self-deprecation and satire as a way to own up to those labels rather that shy away from them, and thus, put on display the very thing that others would scorn at. By using satire as a weapon against one’s inner demons, but also by rejecting a pre-established set of codes of social conventions to break down a systemic derogatory social hierarchy. It’s about owning up to one’s own short-comings and imposed labels, and refusing to apologise for them by revelling in them as part of one’s own identity. ”

A portrait of Inna, muse, artist and designer.
Ukranian-born and Berlin-based, Inna draws on her life, the people she meets, the places she visits and the world around her, to create simple jewellery in bold, timeless metal, precious and semi-precious stones.
From the Brutalism of the Soviet-style architecture she remembers from her childhood, to the rhythms of modern-day Berlin and Paris, Inna develops her identity.
In her subterranean Berlin workshop, she designs and hand crafts her pieces. From conception to creation, designing to finishing, Inna focuses on simplicity, luxury and realizing the hidden potential of form, immortalizing memories and moments in metal. From one-off bespoke pieces, including engagement and wedding rings to complete collections, she sells online, in selected outlets worldwide and has been exhibited at Paris Fashion Week for four consecutive years.
