CLEON PETERSON

(I love the Greek reference!)

CLEON PETERSON /// THE BRINKSMAN

Through his paintings, we encounter a world riddled with anxiety, corruption and savage ferocity, where deviance and violence equal the usual state of affairs. Peterson describes his bedlam as “a gray world where law breakers and law enforcers are one in the same; a world where ethics have been abandoned in favor of personal entitlement.”

Peterson depicts life as war between displaced individuals in a dystopian world. Acts of brutality, abuse and perversion serve as rituals of power, revealing narcissistic indulgences in violence, sex, religion and drugs. In exploring the tension between the individual consciousness and unconscious psyche, Peterson’s paintings bring to light the resulting possibilities when varying moral schemes are personified. When faced with the dilemma of fight or flight, it’s fight. We observe an ongoing struggle in the thick of a contemporary world, where the instinctual desire to survive through primitive actions takes reign.

Currently living and working in Los Angeles, Cleon Peterson was born in Seattle and received a BFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit. He has shown at New Image art in Los Angeles, Alice Gallery in Brussels, Joshua Liner Gallery and Deitch Projects in New York.

SIMON PLASSE

SIMON PLASSE /// MAGISTRATURE EXTRAORDINAIRE

Simon Plasse lives and works in Montréal. For the past ten years he has been visually investigating the transition from figuration to abstraction. He establishes a dialogue between two different realities by deconstructing photography into multiple layers of resin playing between the brush strokes and the sharpness of the photograph. The result, his artworks are reflections and moments of life in a transient evanescence of memories.

OPENING SHOW 26.05.2012 FROM 1 TO 6 @ GALERIE LEROYER, MONTREAL.

CLAUDIO NAPOLITANO

CLAUDIO NAPOLITANO

In his Portrait series, which has won the Hasselblad Masters in 2009, Claudio Napolitano makes a strong social statement through the pure image of childhood.
"We adults, are a bank of emotions : our reality is composed of a constant sequence of emotions. As children, we not only learn language, manners and rules, but also, and I dare say most importantly, we learn emotions. This is why I chose children in my series - they display the most vivid emotion in its purest essence. The concept behind the series is to explore the ideologies at play between oppositions. When working with children and especially with such an intricate concept, the line between success and failure is very thin. The real challenge still remains to reach out to people and appeal to their emotions."

Fortune 500 companies has made Venezuelian photographer Claudio Napolitano the preferred photographer for his crisp and technically flawless style, complemented by his creative eye . Among others, his has been awarded : J&J James E Burke Global Marketing Award 2009 and 2010, Colors Award Nominee and the Cannes Lions National Diploma three years in a row.
