Between tradition and modernity
What would the artists of today be without those of yesterday?
This month, Carré d'artistes wants to highlight the links that unite its painters and visual artists with the history of art. There are many quotations and nods to famous paintings in this collection of artworks, that proclaims a love for art.
Given that museums need to see their visitors more than ever, it is important to showcase their precious collections! Not to mention, to show the dynamism of today's artists, whose artworks are just waiting to find a new refuge: at your place.
A collection with a nod to famous paintings
If you like classic paintings, you will love the work of Karine Romanelli, who resumes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring in her own way, to turn it into a young lady of today, which is disturbingly appealing with her blue turban!

And if Misako turns Botticelli's Venus into a pop star with a plunging neckline, Medeya Lemdiya makes the Mona Lisa fall asleep! Humor and joy of art are on the agenda of this collection, between pictorial tradition and modernity!
