Décors, des corps

Pietrina Checcacci, Ana D et Noora K, Kelly de Geer, Fernando de la Rocque, Nacoca Ko, and Julien Spiewak

The exhibition “Décors, Des corps” presents works by Pietrina Checcacci, Ana D and Noora K, Kelly de Geer, Fernando de la Rocque, Nacoca Ko, and Julien Spiewak. These artists explore the relationship between pattern, ornament, decoration, and the human body through various media such as sculpture, embroidery, photography, and artificial intelligence.

Pietrina Checcacci’s work immerses us in a feminine universe. The artist discovered Spinoza and his “aesthetics” in her youth, and from that moment on, she chose feminine strength as the permanent and unique theme of her artistic journey.

The duo Ana D & Noora K explore movement captured by photography to express their cyclical vision of life. Since everything is in constant motion, the artists freeze a moment in time to intensify our perception of the world through abstraction.

Kelly de Geer is an artist-photographer who discovered the remarkable potential of artificial intelligence as a powerful new tool. This innovation has allowed her to bring seemingly impossible ideas to life within her images. Instead of taking photography as a starting point, exploring AI broadens her creative horizons, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and enriching her photographic process in exciting and unexpected ways.

Fernando de la Rocque uses a variety of artistic media to create authentically Brazilian art. His pictorial vocabulary incorporates joyful, colorful human figures and also references pleasure through sensual scenes. His art deals with work based on the human body and its representation from a spiritual perspective.

Nacoca Ko develops research around an exploration in which virtual images give life to a new cultural narrative. By asking questions such as the influence of technology on our imaginary production, the artist moves between raw material, concise digital images, and video to investigate consciousness and our experience of reality.

Julien Spiewak questions the links between the photographic image and the human body as an artistic expression. Since 2005, he has been producing the Corps de style series in museum interiors and private collections in France and abroad. The inventory he compiles is precise, except for one detail: a part of the body that he inserts into his settings. The strange confrontation between period furniture and the nakedness of the skin. Julien Spiewak’s work has been added to private and public collections, including the Arario collection, the Museum of Photography in Seoul, and the Rio Art Museum (MAR), among others.
