Galerie Eva Vautier

Sector General

Presentation of the gallery

Since its opening in 2013, the Eva Vautier gallery has been forging links between generations that have marked the history of contemporary art, from the School of Nice and the Fluxus movement to the present day. It represents emerging artists with equal intensity, with an international reputation. The gallery places particular emphasis on the support and advancement of women. His artists develop themes related to the relationship with nature, matter, humans and everyday life. This is how the gallery offers an innovative vision of contemporary art and contributes to the dynamism of the French art scene. His special relationship with Ben Vautier allowed him to have a free and experimental tone that was recognized by institutions. Exhibiting drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos and installations, the gallery also offers historical retrospectives of artistic movements such as Fluxus, Supports/Surfaces and Figuration Libre. Its space is divided into a temporary exhibition space and a showroom offering, among other things, the publications and multiples of artists that it publishes.

Présentation de l'artiste en focus

Maxime Parodi (focus) draws cinema shots embedded in his memory. His works are populated by silent characters, some of whom stare at us completely naked. Their nudity is in no way provocative; they are ghosts witnessing the life they live. Caroline Rivalan explores feminine myths and reassembles archival images in plastic collage drawings, hijacking them to reinvent them. Anne-Laure Wuillai deploys a bestiary of seaside archetypes: perfectly shaped pools, idealized marine islets, private beaches with controlled access. Benoît Barbagli Vautier presents drawings made since 2010, bearing witness to his first co-creations with nature and the common thread of a polymorphous practice in which the gesture remains central. Gérald Panighi deploys his cynical aphorisms, where each drawing is accompanied by a sarcastic phrase about humankind, distilling his disillusioned vision of our contemporary condition. Jeanne Susplugas unveils two sketchbooks, somewhere between diaries and travel journals. They reflect her resolutely committed approach to questioning the many forms of confinement, both physical and mental.
