To celebrate spring, Galerie Vazieux invites you to the collective exhibition Spring Show which gathers a selection of artworks from abstract and figurative artists, working between the East and the West: Aya Kawato, Youjin Yi, Constanze Deutsch and Kim Cheonae.

Aya Kawato, Title CUD / Subtitle C:U:D_mm-mccc_w_VIII, 2022, Acrylic on wooden panel, 200x130cm

In her paintings, Aya Kawato (川人 綾, b.1988, Japan) combines the knowledge and expertise that she has gained through her background in Japanese traditional textile with the findings of the modern neuroscientific studies. In line with the research theme of “Controlled/Uncontrolled”, she has been focusing to create abstract grid paintings.

Youjin Yi, Awakening, 2023, Acrylic, oil, oil pastel on canvas, 200x160cm

The metaphorical art of Youjin Yi (이유진, b.1980, South Korea) evokes the themes of solitude, exile, fate, and the beauty of the world. It retraces the distant memories of a forgotten country in which nature is peopled with animals and mysterious figures.

Constanze Deutsch, Durers Bunny, 2023, Mixed media on paper, 75x110cm

Constanze Deutsch (b. 1980, Germany) mainly creates figurative drawings on paper, flooding the sheet with pictorial and typographic contents referencing to popular culture as well as her personal history. It often results in graphic overlays designing a large whole picture composed of several smaller and fragmented parts.

Cheonae KIM, Cadaques 3, 2020, Acrylic on panel, 40x40cm

In the works of Cheonae Kim (김천애, b.1952, South Korea), taking the form of a grid, the lines represent the everyday experiences of humans composed of contradictory elements. The artist believes horizontal lines are passive and vertical lines are relatively active. As such, she works with the duality of lines to explore her interest in the human condition through infinite combinations of vertical and horizontal lines.
