SUMMER EXTENDS UNTIL OCTOBER 22 AT THE OΔK GALLERY
A summer that drags on, a few more hours of sunshine and a last dive before the first chills of Autumn. Until October 22, 2022, Galerie OΔK Toulouse is hosting macro-photographs by Eloi Ficat, an ode to light and water, poetic furniture by Umberto Pasti and organic lighting by William Guillon.
Of water, air and light, Eloi Ficat’sphotographs challenge us with their metaphysical dimension evoking both the infinitely large and the infinitely small. The abstraction generated in the lens under the eye of the artist are all doors ajar on fascinating and unknown universes. Air and water bubbles, sunny reflections, the décor is set. Umberto Pasti’s furniture is in turn invited in a “winter garden” way. The sensual curves of the brightly colored lacquered arbutus branches blend brilliantly with the refined bronze foliage of Clotilde Ancarani and the sculptural chrysalises of William Guillon.
William Guillon’s LV 426 collection reveals influences marked by space and science fiction and required several months of development. Each piece is hand-carved by the artist before being cast in bronze in a French foundry. All pieces are unique and their shapes, finishes (patina and polishing) can be adapted and customized on demand. The lampshades are made in a porcelain workshop in Limoges, the city that historically holds the highest know-how in this field. Each porcelain cocoon is handmade and gives the structure a mineral look. They are all unique and diffuse a soft and warm light in the room.
Galerie OAK offers a selection of the works of its artists and vintage pieces presented by Emmanuelle Vidal and welcomes you by appointment only at 8 Allée Frédéric Mistral in Toulouse.
