Works by artist-duo Florentine and Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize are on display at Galerie Vallois in Paris, titled “Nos paradis perdus” or “Lost in our Paradise” will run from January 13 through February 25, 2017.Florentine and Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize have been working together since 2006. They stopped smoking in 2012. And yet it has nothing to do with the frequent apparition of cigarette butts in their drawings, paintings, and ceramics, as seen on the invitation for this exhibition. What these cigarette butts show in particular is the duet’s interest for the real, the insignificant, the quotidian, from which they never cease to harvest elements to build their works - Cigarettes, dogs, flowers, shoes, vases, etc. With Lamarche-Ovize, figures, images and references are superimposed and circulate haphazardly and shamelessly, jumping from one medium to the next, from paper to ceramic. The duet almost always makes everything themselves, four-handedly; they assume and claim their pleasure towards the object.The exhibition is at Galerie Vallois, 36, rue de Seine, 75006 Paris — FR.
