“100 Masterpieces of Modern and Contemporary Arab Art” at the Arab World Institute

#2 The Barjeel collection

Another way of discovering contemporary art, is by approaching it from a geographical perspective. Such an approach allows you to immerse yourself in the creative energy of a specific part of the world, and to understand the points of encounter. Giving you a panorama of modern and contemporary Arab art, the Arab World Institute gives you the opportunity to admire the artistic richness of the Arab world, through this exhibition of the Barjeel collection. Installations, pictures and paintings, figuration and abstraction, the artists have explored all the means of expression, promising a visit full of discoveries.

Where? Institut du Monde Arabe, 1 Rue des Fosses Saint-Bernard, 75005 Paris

When ? From February 28 to July 2, 2017      

#3 Stéphane Duroy at Le Bal

You can not miss this exhibition of artist Stéphane Duroy’s work at Le Bal this weekend. He is exposing forty years of work of a disenchanted America and the memory of old Europe. We have witnessed the evolution of the artist, whose latest collection is a plastic research which gives place to an installation made for the exhibition. The plus? This is an exhibition that will evolve. The artist has the intention of working on the walls of the exhibition…

Right now, the Tate Britain is offering a retrospective of English painter David Hockney, who is celebrating his 80th birthday this year. David Hockney is considered one of the greatest English painters of the 20th century. He has managed to create his own rules and find modernity with his figurative style, not worrying about codes and prejudices. Through this retrospective, we will discover everything the artist has painted during his career, from Hollywood pools to the English forests. Among others.
