Galerie Alain Gutharc
7 rue Saint-Claude 75003 Paris
Presentation of the gallery
Established in the Marais district of Paris on rue Saint-Claude in 2006, Galerie Alain Gutharc continues to support artists both through regular monographic exhibitions and by presenting them in contexts outside the gallery.
Faithful to the idea that a work of art is built up over the years and cannot be summed up in a passing fad, we believe that this role of accompaniment is essential. With this traditional approach to the gallerist's role, we believe we are contributing to the diversity of proposals and questions that reflect our times.
The gallery thus pursues its quest to discover young artists, often enabling them to hold their first exhibitions and confronting their work with that of artists of recognized quality.
At a time when art fairs are becoming essential to the dynamics of the art world, the gallery remains the privileged place where collectors and amateurs alike can share their feelings at the pace necessary for discovery.
Présentation de l'artiste en focus
Vicky Fischer is a draughtswoman and painter. But if drawing and painting are the words in her vocabulary to describe her practice, the fact remains that the grasp of the pencil and the brush are almost absent from her gestures. The artist works by transposition, subtraction, accumulation, superimposition and erasure. The gesture is primarily that of transfer. The transfer of a photographic image onto paper or canvas. The photographic image is often one that the artist has captured in his or her domestic, family or geographical environment, but sometimes also in the press or media channels, which are overflowing with images. A garden gnome rubs shoulders with a suburban bungalow, which in turn rubs shoulders with a Monegasque princess or a famous actor. A ceramic figurine meets the frozen pose of a dog raising its paw, and a Barbie left in a box winks at a Gnafron who is more seductive than he appears.
