Tout va bien: Seven Young Artists at Galerie Trafic, Ivry-sur-Seine, 2006
The exhibition 'Tout va bien,' curated by Jean-Michel Marchais, took place at Galerie Trafic in Ivry-sur-Seine from April 29 to June 3, 2006, featuring seven up-and-coming artists in both painting and sculpture. Cristine Guinamand's works illustrate haunting and violent imagery, while Benjamin Bruneau's large-scale pieces combine earthy foliage with vibrant colors. Baptiste Folliot creates apocalyptic urban scenes using plaster bas-relief techniques. Youcef Korichi captures emotional moments through cinematic framing and vivid hues. Sculptors Alice Broilliard and Vincent Bullat delve into themes of appropriation, with Broilliard crafting ceramic mountains and Bullat designing a polystyrene temple. Laurence Egloff's mosaic of small canvases evokes disturbing childhood memories, reflecting a generation's distinct visions, separate from 20th-century art narratives.
