Travel Diaries
artists
A Spring-Summer collection with an evocative name, full of intense escapism, diversity and, above all, the authenticity we all need...
It's also a collection of adventures, in which the guest artists are simply their own narrators. It's the perfect opportunity to dive back into a particularly memorable trip, leaf through their forgotten notebooks, and take us along to relive it with them.
To celebrate in style, we've organized an exhibition, bringing together these different stories, for an even more immersive dive into each of their worlds.
OPENING THURSDAY, MARCH 27
AT 48 RUE CHAPON PARIS 3e
FROM 6.30PM
Exhibition on view until March 29 included
CÉCILE JAILLARD
... tells the story of her initiatory solo journey in Morocco. Between olive groves, frescoes in schools and climbing sessions in the High Atlas mountains
A French graphic designer and illustrator, Cécile Jaillard puts her skills to good use in mural painting, sometimes involving the public in the creative process through participatory workshops. Her graphic compositions are colorful, soothing and naïve, using drawing, painting and collage. Her creations blend plant forms with fantastical characters, both feminine and childlike... and take us to the frontier of an almost idealized, benevolent, magical and marvelous world.
ENIKO KATALIN EGED
... went on a family trip to Sweden on Icelandic horses.
Eniko Katalin Eged is a Hungarian illustrator based in Budapest. Before turning to the art world, she studied psychology. Her work is characterized by the illustration of themes related to animals, nature and emotions, but also by her feminist commitment. The woman is often a central figure in her compositions, sublimated by her distinctive palette, combining contrasting colors to highlight her emotions.
FREYA CLARKE
...or the experience of living close to nature, in a van, in the jungle of Costa Rica
Freya Clarke is a multi-disciplinary English painter who derives her creations in many forms. Mainly inspired and guided by tribal primitive arts, she transmits this ancestral history through her contemporary vision, an artistic cuisine in which colors, motifs and traditional symbols blend to give life to her work and thus transmit and perpetuate the tribal energy that particularly animates her.
MADELEINE KEMSLEY
...sailed along the English Cornwall coast
Madeleine is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in illustration and textile art. Her work combines the subtly disparate fields of folk art and post-modernism. She lives on a farm in Cornwall. Surrounded by rich landscapes and spectacular coastlines, Madeleine is well placed to explore her love of color, texture and form.
WE ARE OUT OF OFFICE
...or the art of crossing California in a van as part of a residency program.
If one word were needed to describe the work of the We are out of Office duo, it would be sparkling. Founded by two graphic designers, Winneke de Gros and Felix Van Dam, the studio is based just outside Utrecht in the Netherlands. Each of their creations is an explosion of color, inspired by their travels and the little things and details “that make life worth living”.
