In this summer issue of 2016, a brief on the art of the real in painting, from the classicism of oil painting to a new hyperrealism with surrealist tendencies.
To let your mind wander under the umbrella to discover new artistic talents, you can immerse yourself in the interview of our cover artist, the American Sam Friedman, former assistant of Kaws and semi-abstract painter halfway between Wesselman and De Kooning, whose work is dominated by landscape and still life.
The German MadC tells herself as she takes us on the path of pictorial femininity and acid abstraction, affirming her position as a woman artist in the contemporary scene. A third fascinating interview with the Frenchman Bom.K gives us the opportunity to read his radical artistic commitment to drawing and painting, with a work of strange and morbid sensuality that hypnotizes the viewer.
We discover over a fine analysis the portrait of the Italian artist 2501 and its protean production ranging from painting to installation, through ceramics and drawing with gold leaf. Finally, let's explore the world of Kehinde Wiley, between 18th century classical painting and icons of hip-hop culture, on the occasion of his major retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum.
To be in tune with the major exhibitions of the summer, we invite you to take part in the debate for or against the Pressionism, the famous title of the exhibition currently at the Pinacothèque that is so talkative; and to read our article on the Hip-Hop exhibition, from the Bronx to the Arabian streets with an interview with her in recent months, the latest news from street art, the results of the latest auctions and exhibitions not miss galleries and museums all summer long.
