BASSOT Sophie
Sophie Bassot melts into nature, generously opening her arms and welcoming it in all simplicity. Her painting is an adjustment to life. Sophie paints, interprets and suggests without ever interfering between the work and the viewer, letting the landscape come to her. Concerned with the very essence of freedom, the artist ensures that her work remains free of any intention; she is merely its messenger.
Sophie's work becomes a window onto the future. Using essential lines, she captures elementary forms, transitions or passages, towards the eternal search for tranquillity. The artist thanks nature for its immense, protective, generous and spiritual guidance. For the artist, the landscape is a silent painting, a state of suspension.
"By learning to look at it, I discovered my true nature, and it is my interpreter" SB
The painting stands as an idea rather than an object, the place for intuitions and structures on which her thoughts are organised. Mastery and letting go are combined in a spiritual dance, as Sophie brings out the nuances and features of her landscapes in successive layers, a meticulous construction that respects time and the rhythm of the elements.
Sophie Bassot's large-format paintings have found their way into many collections, and two of her works were recently purchased by the Musée de St Florent Auzonet.

The gallery's words

Quite simply, it's an encounter where the work and the artist become one. It's a moment of simplicity between confidences and laughter, a joie de vivre driven by an inner spiritual life. Sophie Bassot is generous and filled with a sense of accomplishment. The entrance to the studio is magical, and I'm moved by the light, which magnifies the landscapes hanging on the walls or stored on the floor. Silence is the order of the day, and a space of contemplation is instantly created. The place is a reflection of the artist: warm, open and intimate. You just want to sit back and let yourself be contemplated.
P.BROSSEAU Raoul
Raoul P. Brosseau is from Brittany (France). Perhaps you guessed it? Certainly, the Bretons have this ability to talk about what is essential to them, the ocean. They live with the water, become one with the elements, blend into the aquatic environment. Raoul P.Brosseau has inherited a strong character from them and with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop, he paints childhood memories on pine lined beaches. Swimmers rewrite history, sometimes lying a little to make it more beautiful than it was.
"Water is an element where you forget yourself, where you disappear. When we swim, we are no longer just ourselves but one with it. Time no longer exists. And when you come out of it, there's still that mysterious little smile on my swimmers' faces, at once disillusioned and satisfied. »
So if Raoul P. Brosseau has always been swimming, he has also been painting since his early childhood. Drawings then paintings but it remains a pleasure of the lost hours. Raoul becomes a teacher, bookseller, journalist, press attaché, does communication, plays the ukulele in a band, writes detective stories... A busy literary and artistic life, then encouraging encounters allow him to participate in his first exhibitions. The artist will imagine this passage as follows: "as one jumps from a diving board a little too high, to realize delighted that everything is going well" the artist then devotes himself fully to the painting that has accompanied him all his life.
His work revolves around mixed media, acrylic. A mixture of flat and relief, bright or gray colors. Contrast is one of the keys of his expression, like a shift that you don't expect.
Today, for less than ten years, Raoul P. Brosseau has participated in many artistic events, has exhibited in several galleries, particularly in the west of France.
And Raoul P. Brosseau is happy.

Words from the gallery

Raoul P. Brosseau contacted me by email during the period of confinement, a good time to think and start new projects. I discovered with great pleasure his element, his universe and this nascent perplexity in front of his works. I liked it very much but I did not give an immediate answer as the period was not really suitable for the integration of a new artist. One week later Raoul P. Brosseau called me, I felt a joy of life, a complete and complex journey and a real desire to establish a relationship of trust. The decision was made immediately and despite this period that was nailing us to the house, we wanted to start this new collaboration without delay while waiting to meet each other.

2020, exhibition
EYMANN Florian
Florian Eymann, a self-taught French artist born 1980, began by exploring the world of music for several years before practicing the pictorial art for which he is now recognized in France and internationally. Florian is identifiable by his oil paintings where he explores dark themes and experiments with form and content by deconstructing and reinterpreting faces and expressions of traditional portraiture.
Taking inspiration from the light of Caravaggio, the deformations of Bacon, the freedom of sight of Picasso and many others; Eymann developed a particular gestural methodology. By merging shapes and bright colours, the artist deliberately portrays a constant impression of construction/destruction.
His work makes the viewer discover that the representational standards can transcend by strategically incorporating abstract touches of paint which partially camouflage the work and thus letting the imagination be carried away.

The gallery's words

I discovered Florian's work on social media. What immediately struck me was this reference to great artists without actually referring to them. A great freedom of interpretation, a constantly evolving construction which never finds its final form, close to this precipice of chaos, the artist never tipping into the abyss. We traded on several occasions but Florian, caught up in the American market, could not be represented in France. The confinement will have finally served the gallery since the artist has entrusted us with his representation in Bordeaux.
FISCHER Jean-Christophe
Born in 1971, Jean Christophe FISCHER is passionate by painting since an early age. Not finding the depth of soul that he was looking for, he stoped painting at 20 years old and turned to music, dance. Jean Christophe became percussionist and worked for ten years with great masters.
"François Kokelaere made me gain 20 years of research, I owe him a lot."
More than 10 years of observation, and encounters, enable him to mature his painting, to tap into the dark realities of life, feeling deep within himself altruistic feelings which he fully realizes. The artist finally gets back to brushes and tries out the abstract...but to his surprise it is the human who appears to him.
"I didn't see it coming, it was a discovery, the material made me feel my deep resonance. So, as an insidious analysis, I went to meet myself...I must explore everything..."
The man became his favorite subject. Mirror of the soul, his painting reveals a humanity full of doubts, questions, uncertainties...the face that appears on the canvas expresses the loneliness of the human being, his pain, his anguish. Yesterday and today these many faces could also be those of tomorrow. All these eyes scan us, follow us and we still hear them when we walk away. Ths is the deafening and disturbing truth.

The gallery's words

Even before the creation of the gallery I was irretrievably drawn to the works of Jean-Christophe Fischer. My first artistic "meeting" was done via an art magazine, I could not take my eyes off those eyes that were scrutinizing me ! Disturbing, certainly, but so captivating! In 2013 I decided to contact and to offer him a collaboration, without really thinking that he would accept, we were a young gallery and he already had a good representation and a great reputation. His "yes" was for me an unexpected gift, I was finally able to share my these patingins that I love. Since 2014 I made you discover his universe and invited you to follow him in his creation. Jean-Christophe is a committed person who favors human relationships, a common point that connects us and strengthens us in our collaboration.
HALFTERMEYER Hellen
Born in 1980 in Lille, Hellen Halftermeyer did not first consider sharing her artworks as an artist, as if the mere fact of living her life was in itself an artistic act rather disheveled and often unconventional.
Not long ago, it clicked, doing Art of Living was no longer enough, she now concentrates her creative energy on the creation of sensitive works in which the human figure is preeminent and more recently the animal world and in particular the birds that she enjoys observing every day.
No matter the medium, there is a closeness in the way she paints and carves. Expressionist deconstruction of academic codes, sometimes furious, emanates tension and emotion.

The gallery's words

We discovered Hellen Halftermeyer's paintings in 2017. The aroused emotions were so strong that we quickly contacted the artist. After some interesting exchanges about her very personal approach to painting we were convinced to present her work in the gallery. A first meeting with the artist, followed a few months later by an artistic proposal, gave meaning to our future collaboration. In April 2018, the first paintings of Hellen arrived and it was a real pleasure to discover these works of extreme sensitivity. Hellen joins the artists of the gallery and brings a feminine touch, mysterious, deep, to the intense work already presented in gallery. In perfect harmony with the spirit of the gallery we follow her work with great interest.

Michel Lagrange wrote a poem "Mysterious" inspired by a work by Hellen
"Appearance passage between two of life
Moving universe
Spiritual stained glass
Without the partitions of a low-level lead
In this great ocean dream
A woman's impression evanescent
Emerge ... "
MANAT
Born at the beginning of the 90 in one of the biparental families of the Marne, Manat has always been interested in the soundscape and Brazilian percussion.
He creates his first black metal band (Extreme Daniel Radcliffe Band) at the age of 15 and obtains his diploma at the music conservatory of Reims, specialized in drums.The band enjoyed some success due to the energetic performance on stage, and, during 10 years, he toured across France, from underground bars to national music festivals.But, as a result of cardiovascular discomfort caused by the absorption of a large amount of aspirin, Manat decides to turn the pate « Rock’n roll » of his life.

He definitively changed his way of life, and rented a workshop in west Montpellier to devote himself to his new creative passion, painting.
Real emotional choc, he then decides to make it his profession as autodidacte.
Manat still lives and works in the south of France, with this particular light, that the artist know so well.
His work becomes a great success, recognizable to his portraits of humanized monkeys on abstract background. Treating the themes of his youth, tattoos and rock n roll, and other more classical univers on various medium.
When asked the question : « Does the semantics of your work emancipate itself constantly from an academic analysis, or even a primordial rejection of the limit that underlies your work? » He answers « yes » in all simplicity, because he is a simple man first and foremost.

The gallery’s words

I discovered Manat’s work on the web, amused and caught by this work that represents humains attitude and comportement in gorillas and monkeys, we got in touch and met each other. I met an artist who takes real pleasure in exploring and provoking through his creation. Manant does not taking himself seriously, he is in the amusement and fun, which ended up convincing me if I still needed to be convinced.
MARCEL Pascal
Emotion is at the heart of Pascal Marcel's work. His paintings do not lie, but act as a mirror where we are free to add our own history and experience. The artist transcribes with a touching honesty, scenes of real lives. Under his fingers, everyday banality becomes an ode to life and joy. Thus, the Man is in the center of his works, and Pascal "paints with admirable tenderness the wanderers of the night, the wounded of the life, the lost ones of the small mornings but also the joy of childhood and the small happiness everyday simple ". Color balances deeply with the stoic character. It gives another dimension to the work, and to the emotion it arouses in us. Pascal Marcel reveals himself to be a true pictorial poet. Representing the human and the humanity, it manages without difficulty to transmit multiple universal emotions.

Born in 1964 in Montélimar, Pascal Marcel is an autodidact. He began his first exhibitions in 1980. In 1993 he decided to devote himself entirely to painting and went to an abstract work. He devoted himself to figurative art during his five-year stay in Mexico, where he participated in numerous exhibitions. He will return with lots of bright colors and warm.

The words of the gallery

I discovered the works of Pascal Marcel a few years ago on a show. The extraordinary palette of colors holds the attention, then the magic operates. A great sensitivity, scenes of daily life, tenderness, curiosity, everything is mixed in us and the look continues to be lost in the work.
It took more than 6 years for us to finally meet and make you discover his work.
Sincere and very kind, the artist reveals a part of him through a prism, situations put in paintings that question us. We invite you to dive without restraint into the world of Pascal Marcel.
MASSCHELEIN Tony
Tony Masschelein is a French painter born in Roubaix in the north of France in 1973. Since his childhood he has had a passion for the visual arts and is interested in comic books. During his college years, he learned to master the pencil through the portraits he sketched of his teachers in his school notebooks.
Tony Masschelein discovers painting in museums and becomes impregnated with its mystery, the artistic part of his being does not cease to reveal itself but Tony Massechelin is also a traveller and little by little the call of new horizons is felt. He began by going to Paris where he met many people who intensified his desire to discover the world. Tony Masschelein then began to alternate his first jobs with longer and longer trips for several years. He felt a vital need to go and meet other cultures, and he discovered India, Thailand and South-East Asia in particular. The successive trips became initiatory journeys, and Tony discovered Buddhism and the path to self-realisation. Several meditative retreats in monasteries contributed to finding the rightness of his inner self. These long stays on the edge of the world, his view at a fair distance developed by a self-confidence built up through encounters, will enable him in 2005 to realise his childhood dream, the brush finally becomes his profession, he invests his studio.
For Tony, painting is a game of colours, materials and lights, the subject becomes the support for an artistic expression that he wants to be free. He opens up to the work of Zao Wou Ki and his spiritual abstractions because for Tony Masschelein painting is a score, it has its own musicality and borders on an initiatory experience. He is passionate about composition, form becomes a pretext for creation. Tony Masschelin defines himself as a painter of the end of the 19th century who likes to mix writings. He creates portraits with fascinating looks that reveal the interiority of the being, question, keep the mystery, destabilize through the palette that remains the artist's guide throughout the creation:
"Painting is a rhythmic interweaving of musical pages" T.M
Tony Masschelein has always put painting on a pedestal, it is both the mystery and the mirror of the soul, it is the invisible.
Portraits, landscapes, still lifes, abstractions... Tony Masschelin forbids himself nothing, the subject is only a pretext for expression, freedom takes precedence, the composition is born, the visitor's gaze is disturbed, emotion is more than ever present.

The gallery's words

The encounter with Tony's work came about through a colleague who was exhibiting his portrait work at the Lille Salon in 2023. Captivating...more than that, Tony's paintings are disturbing, mysterious, overwhelming. One immediately perceives an extreme sensitivity, an ability to pierce the soul buried behind faces that might seem academic and yet are not. The subsequent discovery of nudes and still lifes provoked the same sensation, a part of the intimate, the play of light, of materials in a bright palette that transport us to the heart of the subject, the gaze moves from the outside to the inside of the scene. Then the meeting of the artist, passionate and discreet, open and modest, who speaks of his painting with all his being. I am happy to share with you this favorite, which far from merging with artistic trends, puts the spotlight back on the great painters of the 19th century who would observe our contemporaries.
MONJO Nicolas
After looking for his own path for a long time, Nicolas Monjo discovered painting at the age of twenty. Selfthaught, he developed his own technique and allows him to play with the medium, offering a very personal style. The human figure is at the center of his work. His subjects often evolve in fantastic univers, and are not without any resemblance to the society and the world around us.
The characters are locked up, crushed by the frame of the painting, they present a difficulty which makes us leave our condition, of the transcendence, in a violent and anxiogenic society which does not always allow us to break free. The "dominant / dominated" relationship is often evoked and the recurring figure of fish here is the ultimate expression. A palette of soft and dark color at the same time, creates a singular atmosphere.

The words of the gallery

Nicolas Monjo contacted the gallery to present his artworks. I immediately perceived his technicality and went straight into his world. Seduced by the subject and his vision of the world, his artworks touched me. The first encounter with the artist, friendly and simple, achieved to convince me. Nicolas Monjo is genuine and sincere in his work, he does not really explain what led him to paint but recognizes the absolute necessity to create. With a true artistic soul, he prefers to stay in his studio and let others talk about his work. Nicolas brings a different touch in the gallery and joins the artists with a marked identity and a beautiful personality.
REHEISSER Thomas
Born in 1977, Thomas Reheisser lives in a family environment that is conducive to the art he discovers as a whole. Two superb perspectives stand out for him as a matter of course: music and drawing. As long as he remembers, Thomas has always held a brush without allowing him to express himself fully. As soon as he graduated from high school, Texunion spotted his pencil stroke and recruited him, he designed for it the collections of this mythical brand until 2000, when the company closed. Thomas Reheisser then decided to resume his studies in music and became a teacher at the Mulhouse and Colmar conservatories. Passionate about the guitar, he expresses and transmits through the strings what the brush has not expressed for a long time. Then it was the shock, the trigger, he met Christophe Hohler, a famous plastic pianist. Thomas returns free, free to express through drawing, through painting. His first work, after all these years of silence, is simply breathtaking. Power, depth, maturity, Thomas has found his artistic expression.
Unable to match it, we will quote Lionel Bamond, writer, discovering Thomas' works "Impossible to control the emotion by punching the stomach... In the hollow of these wandering and gushing creatures of a night of carbon, I guess, pell-mell, the blurring of Jean-Jacques Henner, the lighting of Caravaggio, the ink of Soulage, the solitude of Bacon".

The gallery’s words

3 photos in an email and a modest, almost shy presentation. Thomas Reheisser contacted me, a name I will never forget. The first visual haunts me, the second captivates me, the third decides me. Our exchanges are simple, the artist is in line with the message, modest, simple and generous.

2021, exhibition
ROUSSELET Joëlle
Expressionist artist, Joëlle Rousselet is a link revealer. Her work highlights what unites man and nature. « It’s a Landscape of souls where a score is played, at once mineral and organic, human and animal ». To look at his characters and faces are at the same time material, temporality and history. Like the archaeologist discovering the human remains that reveal his history to the world, the viewer delights in this plunge into the source of life. Joëlle Rousselet paints the connections, the movement, the molts. It plays an emotional back and forth between the elements of nature and its creations, a way to connect with the « living ».

The gallery's words

I discovered the paintings of Joëlle Rousselet during an art Fair in 2020, She was exhibited by a colleague whose artistic sensivity I appreciate. Immersed in the « soul » of one of her paintings exhibited I had the chance to meet the artist. Joëlle has a great sensitivity and humility, and she speaks of her work with great simplicity and reserve. In 2021 Joëlle joins the artists of the gallery !
