A very pleasant opportunity
When I've been contacted by the Copelouzos Art Family Museum, based in Athens, Greece, to participate to
the 35x35 French Art Project, I made « Soul remains » (click to see more)
The museum is a private contemporary art museum based in Athens, Greece, owned by Dimitris Copelouzos’ family. Its collection contains a significant number of art works created by established, and also emerging contemporary artists, covering different art movements (pop art, figurative, abstract, etc.). The collection contains artworks created by artists from Europe (e.g. Hirst, Leger), USA (e.g. Lichtenstein, Wesselmann, Rauschenberg), Latin America (e.g. Botero, Matta) and Asia (e.g. Yayoi Kusama, Zhang Xiaogang).
The piece will become part of the museum's permanent collection and will be published as part of a book on the project.
Thanks again to the Copelouzos family for this opportunity.
As I said, I chose to offer this artwork, a variation of a Chinese ink calligraphy, which I draw in 2021, titled « Regard sur le monde » (Look out onto the World)
I particularly care about this figure which I have staged in this instance in an apparently damaging environment, the silhouette being nonetheless unaltered. Hence the title of the artwork : « Soul remains »
