When it comes to admiring artistic beauty, there is a widely acknowledged common ground. Definitions can only fade into the background and give way to the notion of perception. More than any other form, artistic beauty can leave its viewer at a loss for words. The artists taking part in this exhibit drew inspiration from the information overload we are subjected to on a daily basis. Beyond the state of contemplation brought on by these artworks, they cast a colourful reflection that is muted yet outlined, offering themselves to observation. Galerie C.O.A is also proud to announce their latest collaboration with Alexandra Levasseur and Zoltan Veevaete and to present their work, by way of this exhibit.

CONVICTIONS and Other Interpretations | Spazuk
October 15th to November 15th, 2014Â
Spazuk paints with fire: he has developed and perfected a unique technique using a candle flame as a pencil, and creates his paintings with trails of soot. With a collection of eclectic tools, he intuitively sculpts the carbon featherings on the paper, to reveal the light in his images. The results are remarkable. Portraits, birds, imprints; Spazuk's subject choices echo the fragility and fluidity of his medium. In this exhibition, he demonstrates his exceptional mastery of flame paintings. Revealing combinations and juxtapositions both incongruous and rich in meaning, his recent work speaks clearly of his beliefs and convictions. The shapes and patterns borne from his capricious smokes give way to many organic and personal interpretations.
