2024

Pin-up by Laëtitia Vernieux plunges the viewer into the 1950s, an era marked by an objectifying vision of women. Laëtitia appropriates the iconography of the Pin-up, a symbol of female emancipation at a time when women had to comply with strict societal expectations. This figure, initially perceived as light and superficial, upset the codes of fashion and cinema, paving the way for a redefinition of female sexuality and freedom of expression.

Through this work, the artist sends a strong message about emancipation and the freedom to think and act. Pin-up Resonates with Rio, where Laëtitia also explores themes of social transformation and liberation through a vibrant and striking aesthetic.

Featured artists

Mathieu Duvignaud artiste peintre français

Mathieu Duvignaud

Mathieu Duvignaud explore la relation et la confrontation entre l’homme et son environnement, mêlant mémoire et éphémère dans le monde contemporain. Ses œuvres, véritables journaux intimes, répondent à ses inquiétudes quotidiennes autour du rapport de force entre le monde brut et notre société moderne.

Puisant son inspiration en France et au Brésil, Mathieu utilise une palette variée de matériaux et techniques pour créer des œuvres uniques. Il a exploré des thèmes tels que le conflit entre technologies et atavismes, la notion de paysage, et a même utilisé des fourmis pour critiquer la société. Ses créations prennent des formes diverses : performances, installations, peintures abstraites faites de sel.

L’artiste nous emmène dans une dérive artistique, où chaque œuvre est une réponse à un moment précis. Cette approche errante et fluctuante se reflète dans ses œuvres, qui oscillent entre l’éphémère et la révélation des marques humaines et non humaines sur les territoires qu’il explore. Mathieu Duvignaud cartographie ainsi un témoignage actuel de notre terre, embrassant la multiplicité des interprétations et des lectures que son art déclenche.

Thierry Ménéchal Thime

Thime

Thime, whose real name is Thierry Ménéchal, is an artist originally from Dordogne and currently based in Bordeaux, describes himself as a curious and creative autodidact. After a career as Sales Director in a large international group, he decided to change course to follow his artistic passion.

His artistic career took a turn in July 2015 when he discovered a new pigment-based technique while on vacation in Saint Martin. Inspired by a painter friend, he immersed himself in abstract art, considering this visual language to be the most seductive. Her artistic approach is based on three main axes: the use of pigments for effects and transparency, the use of oil for materials and reliefs, and the exploration of textured materials or linen sheets to cause movement.

He works with a knife, adopting a constant spontaneity in his gestures and movements. His artistic expression reflects his relationship to time, with rapid and obvious movements on some of his canvases.

Inviting everyone to plunge into their own imagination, THIME offers a unique artistic experience where each painting is the result of snapshots capturing doses of pigments, movements of matter, color choices, moods of the day, emotions, and feelings.
