Alix Marie is currently completing a master degree at the Royal College of Art in London, where she recently exhibited her new piece “Under My Thumbs”, quickly purchased by a patron of the Tate : such a great encouragement for this young artist whom we showed at the gallery twice in 2012 !

Alix Marie poursuit actuellement un cursus au prestigieux Royal College of Art à Londres, où elle a récemment exposé sa dernière sculpture “Under My Thumbs” (sous mes pouces), qui fut rapidement acquise par un mécène de la Tate : un signe plutôt encourageant pour cette jeune artiste que nous avons exposée à la galerie à deux occasions en 2012.

“Paragone” is curated by Christian Omodeo for Le Grand Jeu and will be held from March 13th thru April 27th.

Moneyless’ art is characterized by an investigation on the rawest elements of life and takes for granted a process of continuous evolution. He certainly owes his graphical mark to the street, where he was born as an artist and where he grounded his roots in the ’90s graffiti/writing scene.
His artistic research, relieved by the weight of a fixed form, made his style move towards a pure geometry onthology. Moneyless’ aesthetic seems to quote a Platonic vision where geometry is represented as the structure, the foundation upon which all nature is built.
Nature thus becomes functional to the work of art: Moneyless’ essential forms are processed one after the other, though still entrenched within a structural complexity, they mean purity and neatness. “My shapes are reduced to the minimum, at the same time they carry some kind of an intense tension, an invisible movement; most of my patterns hide multiple visions and different perspectives. I think my art now speaks through geometry”.
The kind of art he’s developing, as much as his name, suggests an investigation on pureness and simplicity of life. The artist’s vision presupposes the rejection of speed, pollution, and all contemporary hurries in order to replace our attention on the purity of thought.
