Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
Welcomegohome Valise: Bois, Plastique Le titre de l’installation «Welcomegohome» est comme une séquence qui peut s’afficher et défiler en boucle sur toutes les frontières extérieures et intérieures de l’union européenne. La bande adhésive simule les passages frontières de l’espace Schengen. Le visiteur découvre le contenu de la valise. Il peut passer et repasser à sa guise, pendant que le réfugié reste prisonnier, enfermé dans sa valise. Les passages fréquents confrontés à la symbolique du sujet finissent par provoquer un malaise. Welcome ou Go home? Welcomegohome Suitcase: Wood, Plastic The title of the installation "Welcomegohome" is like a sequence that can be displayed and loop through all the external and internal borders of the European Union. The adhesive tape simulates the border crossings of the Schengen area. The visitor discovers the contents of the bag. He can pass and return as he pleases, while the refugee remains a prisoner, locked in his suitcase. Frequent passages confronted with the symbolism of the subject end up causing discomfort. Welcome or Go home?
