Sur le passé: la paix
1
Classically trained Édouard Trémeau’s work is masterfully executed using dramatic lights and shadows. He took part in various collectives that denounced forms of political oppression and inequalities, traces of which can be found in his work, exuding anguish, solitude, confinement and ruin. In this work, the print is akin to a diptych with a man turned away, coupled with the touristic depiction of Baalbeck, Lebanon. The editioned print is titled “Sur le passé: la paix” (On the pass: peace) while in a retrospective exhibition publication, the same edition is called “Liban: paix retrouvee” (Lebanon: Peace Found).

Violins & Brushes
2
ARMAN was a French-born American artist known for his unique style of found-object sculpture and paintings. In his sculpture, he works with "accumulations" and destruction/ re-composition of objects while in his two dimensional pieces, he uses the imprints or traces of objects covered in ink to form the painting itself. The silk screen print “Violins and Brushes” is a classic example ARMAN’s work using his recurring image of the violin. It was created around the same time as his gigantic monument “Hope for Peace” at the Ministry of National Defense in Yarze, Lebanon.

Untitled (Sunbather)
19
Cremonini’s poetic summertime figures and landscapes appear both timeless and yet like a photo, taken at a distinct moment. The colors and brushstrokes blend the bodies and the landscape together and the unique light-filled compositions have a geometric quality to them. In this black and white print, the sunbather melts into her surroundings which were created with points and hash marks.
