LES JARDINS BY ARNE QUINZE

4

Not only has Arne Quinze played an important role in the public art segment of the summer festival Rouen Impressionnée with Camille, the wooden structure that spans the Boieldieu bridge, but he has painted a series of modern impressions inspired by Claude Monet and the water lilies of Giverny. These re-interpretations of the peacefulness of Monet's gardens come to us through the movement of Quinze's strokes and splatters. The thirty new canvases are on exhibition in the impressive space of the L'Abbatiale de Saint-Ouen.

Artist: Arne Quinze

Female Identity by Alicia Ross

Alicia Ross, a New York base artist, her works has evolved to encompass various facets of female identity using photography, fiber, video and installation.

From the interview with art:21, she said: "I'm more interested in exemplifying the conflict rather than choosing sides. In my series of Samplers and Motherboards, I tried to blur the line between female figures, by removing them from their context and allowing the viewer to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable or private and public. By making the images startling or impressive I feel the intended question becomes more obvious to the viewer."
