"UN SEUL GRAIN DE RIZ" _ group exhibition in Paris

This year started with the annual exhibition "UN SEUL GRAIN DE RIZ". A small format graphic art competion by "métanoïa" gallery in Paris.

This year theme was the Heraclitan doctrine. More than 300 pieces from 27 different countries were exposed.

My interpretation of the theme were two wall pieces titled “Harmonie dans les chaos”.

Presentation:

"Out of discord comes the fairest harmony". Heraclitus.

Inspired by the Heraclitan doctrine, “Harmonie dans les chaos” consists in two textile pieces where the artist experiments with texture. An eclectic mixture of natural materials is laid randomly. Uniform and neutral colours were chosen for this theme to bring the main focus on the materials and its textures. During the making process, the materials blend in a final piece. Each material brings a different light, weight and surface. When the right balance between the materials is achieved, the result is an organic and poetic equilibrium.
