Galerie Alberta Pane at Artissima 2015

Galerie Alberta Pane, Paris
at Artissima 2015

During the next Artissima edition, we are proud to present a group show by Christian Fogarolli and Joao Vilhena, (booth PINK A3), through some drawings, sculptures and new prints.

The exhibition aims to relate the common features of these artists’ work: women portraits and body representations discovered through archival research in psychiatric hospitals or police archives for Christian Fogarolli and a series of postcards and images of nineteenth century stereoscopic views revisited by João Vilhena. They’re interested in vintage imagery to rebuilt what has been long lost. Through provocation, eroticism, disturbing situations and human behaviours, included concepts as voyeurism and unhealthy curiosity, they distort reality and the use of the image, delving into the past to fill a void in a symbolic way.
