Despite the closure of museums and galeries, art takes up the challenge of resisting and, despite everything, offering an escape route by exhibiting itself in shop windows. This is how Paris, an open-air garden will be set up from April 10 to May 8, 2021, rue de Turenne. The pictures are signed by the photographer Stéphane de Bourgies, famous portrait painter.
An open-air garden
In the absence of tourists and onlookers, nature reclaims its rights in the center of Paris and in particular in the windows of Ellia Art Gallery. The latter exhibits the floral photographs of Stéphane de Bourgies. The artist, known for his black and white portraits of Francois Hollande at John Malkovich, Passing by Anne-Sophie Pic or Jenifer, reproduces the process by shining the light on orchids, poppies and daisies.
“And in this exposure, the most civilized cultured flower comes to reveal something of its original savagery. Monster, devouring, carnivorous, almost animal flowers, they are the expression of an eroticism, which, more than the eroticism inevitably evoked by their display, is an impulse of life ”, explains Stéphane de Bourgies.
Events are planned for the weekends of May 1 and 8, with tricycles on the program to distribute ice cream to Parisians on a spree.
