REVISIT: The artists gathered for an unprecedented group show to mark the two-year partnership between Hatchikian Gallery and Quai 36.

For the past two years, Hatchikian Gallery has developed a partnership with Quai 36 to present artists working both in public space for mural projects and in workshops on canvases or various media. This duality fuels the momentum of practices that combine creative brilliance and aesthetic research, for the deployment of singular trajectories that have been able to establish themselves on the contemporary art scene. To celebrate the two-year success of this partnership, which has highlighted emerging talents from the field of urban art, Hatchikian Gallery and Quai 36 present a group show that brings together the diversity of the visual propositions of the artists exhibited during recent seasons within this intersectional perspective between the gaze of a gallerist and that of art producers for places in transition. Audrey Hatchikian and Julie Frydman propose a dynamic scenography that combines the heterogeneous universes of the artists who have punctuated two years of encounters and events: an unprecedented encounter will mark the confrontation between the whimsical graphic gimmicks of David Bruce, the inspiring dreamlike architectures of Chazme, the organic colorations of Nelio, the captivating abstractions of Yann L’Outsider, the vibrant geometries of Simon Poter, the humanist calligraphies of Zepha and the magnetic chromaticity of the elements of Zabala.

Pol Quadens, sublimating matter: from the beautiful object to sculpture.

As an indefatigable aesthete, Pol Quadens draws the contours of a world where the «commodity,» the fetish of transactional ugliness, has been eliminated, ousted by the beauty of the object. As Kant wrote to set limits to extensive commodification, «Everything either has a price or has dignity,» Pol Quadens might say «either a price or a beauty.» Sublimating matter is a drive that comes from his childhood, a way of entering the world, becoming a man, in the transmission of a pride to conceive and manufacture beautiful objects irreducible to their function. Born in 1960 in Brussels, he is the author of a work whose culmination reconciles design and art.

Variation(s), Yann L’Outsider, a decade of formal abstraction in black and white.

As he looks back on a decade of creation since his transition from the wall to the canvas to publish the monograph Variation(s), Yann L’Outsider had to experience a vertigo; a vertigo that the viewer also faces when he immerses his gaze in the dual abstraction of his works where the glimmers of light projected into the interstices of black matter lead to unfathomable infinity… Through the series in black and white that have marked these last ten years, Yann L’Outsider has tirelessly explored the possibilities of form in the visual language of abstraction: an aesthetics of letter, with a prismatic play of typographic elements, that continues in the studio his original urban practice; but also an aesthetics of form in motion. Variations in the plural, which the artist seeks to capture, not in suspended moments but precisely in their dynamics of transformation; and it is precisely a singular vibration that emanates from his works, creating a tension in which we, the spectators, are literally caught up.

From Château La Coste to the island of Naoshima, the architectural purity of Tadao Ando for exceptional artistic domains.

For art lovers, destinations that offer both an exceptional environment and open-air museums are a true delight for aesthetes seeking escapades amidst spectacular works of art and architecture. From the nearby Provence to the distant Japanese islands, let’s visit two areas that have established themselves as indispensable artistic stops: Château La Coste, a wine estate on the foothills of the Luberon, and Naoshima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea in Japan. The link between the two? The architecture of Tadao Ando, winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize, whose austerity sets a unique way of inscribing the built into the landscapes and capturing the light to create the design of art spaces that offer unprecedented visual and sensory experiences.

Simon Poter, the vibrant vibrations of geometric abstraction

Discovering Simon Poter’s universe is a real delight because, while the artist inscribes his work within the movement of geometric abstraction, the formal rigour is dispelled by a striking rhythm that leads us into a resolutely vibrant momentum, and we feel intensely the full dimension of pleasure emanating from the artist’s approach.

Hatchikian Gallery invites you to the Urban Art Fair 2023 from April 13 to 16 at the Carreau du Temple (Paris 3)

Hatchikian Gallery and Quai 36, partners since 2022 for a series of exhibitions dedicated to artists from the graffiti movement, are participating in the 2023 edition of the Urban Art Fair, an international fair dedicated to urban art, which will take place from April 13 to 16 at the Carreau du Temple in Paris, in the Marais district. This is the seventh edition of the event, which particularly highlights female gallery owners and curators: Audrey Hatchikian of the eponymous gallery and Julie Frydman of Quai 36 are therefore delighted to be among the new generation dedicated to proposing original scenographies to renew the way of highlighting artists by breaking free from the practices and categories that have so far codified the presentation of works. Founded and chaired by Yannick Boesso, the Urban Art Fair Paris gives a wide place to women: it is led by Morgane Perroy and Magda Danysz on its artistic committee.

JUMPINCOLORS, duo show David Bruce & Simon Poter: the brilliance of color between pop figuration and geometric abstraction

Although the collaboration between Hatchikian Gallery and Quai 36 continues through the exhibitions presented since the partnership was inaugurated in 2022, it is driven by a contagious enthusiasm that brings together the teams, curators, and artists to highlight talents yet to be discovered through original sets that stem from an affinity between personalities who above all enjoy working together and sharing their artistic emotions.

Investing in art: tax benefits of corporate sponsorship: a return on an evening of conferences

On Monday 6 March 2023, an information evening was held by the CJEC (Club des Jeunes Experts Comptables et Commissaires aux Comptes) Île-de-France, as part of its series of major conferences. Hatchikian Gallery was invited to participate in a panel discussion with speakers representing the various issues related to investment in art for companies. As a gallerist, she shared her experience and professional knowledge regarding corporate sponsorship for artistic creation and the fiscal arrangements associated with the purchase or rental of works of art by companies. Hatchikian Gallery indeed supports its clients who wish to endow their company with ’emotional assets« through works that are intended to enchant the daily lives of employees and collaborators by helping to bring together an entrepreneurial team around a stimulating exchange of perspectives on artistic creation. The presence of works in collaborative spaces contributes to a working environment designed as a framework that generates enthusiasm and an open mind by expanding human interactions to horizons that go beyond everyday concerns. Beyond the fiscal benefit, commitment to artistic creation constitutes a dynamic lever, a communication tool at the service of the company’s image and the opportunity to collectively support the development and the promotion of an artist.
