  • MEMORY LINES

    Two major exhibitions took place in 2012, in Beijing and then in Guangzhou.

    Both exhibitions included around thirty paintings from the Schmates series and a monumental 25m installation, specially created for the Croisements Festival,

    Punctuation marks, and more specifically the question mark and the parenthesis, were the guiding motifs.

    These signs common to both languages and the sound Ma, which indicates the interrogative form in Chinese, are the starting point for a reflection on our questions.

  • BARRICADE

    "The pieces of zinc that make up the barricades all come from my roof.

    When I set up my workshop more than twenty years ago, they were dismantled and stored in the storeroom.

    For the Croisement exhibition in China, I chose them for an installation on punctuation marks."

  • BEYOND LOST BODIES

    During COVID, I had no equipment available at home to work with.

    I then used my own X-rays, household products, and everyday instruments.

    I knew that the original material, the X-rays, would disappear, replaced by CDs.

    Then I managed to obtain other x-rays and my dialogue with the trace and disappearance of the bodies was able to be re-established.

Adornment and imprint

From October 7 to November 2, the exhibition “The Adornment and the Imprint”, sponsored by the Ulysse 2001 association, at the AVM gallery, proposes to juxtapose the canvases of the “Schmates” series by Nadine Kohn-Fiszel and the engraved turtle bones of Alain Delpech.

Through different approaches, these two artists seek to transcend bodily disappearance. Nadine Kohn-Fiszel materializes the absence of bodies by depicting their imprints, while Alain Delpech elevates the alteration and disappearance of the body through the decoration of bones. They restore to these bodies, ravaged by time, their full presence and universality.

The “Schmates” series refers both to the sheets used in ancient embalming and to unburied bodies. As for Alain Delpech's engravings, the figures depicted are difficult to situate in time and space.

    The works of Nadine Kohn-Fiszel and Alain Delpech complement each other through the similarity of their themes and their different approaches to them. While Nadine Kohn-Fiszel's canvases command the viewer's attention through their size and the thickness achieved by the variety of materials used, Alain Delpech's engravings require the observer to lean closer to the object to see its details.
