Still life revisited... Sobering Galerie invites you to discover its new exhibition, based around the works of Lyon-based artist Ivan Arlaud, from April 6 to May 13, 2024. Entitled Intérieurs Lumineux, this exhibition promises to immerse visitors in an atmosphere where the joy of living is celebrated through interior scenes imbued with quietude and an almost tangible serenity. Through his canvases, Arlaud invites us to meditative contemplation, offering an immobile journey into the heart of everyday moments captured with unequalled delicacy and poetry.
In his works, Ivan Arlaud excels at creating a silent dialogue with the viewer, despite the notable absence of human figures. Intimacy is revealed in carefully chosen details: a cup of coffee left on a table, an open book of poetry, evoking the presence of an invisible yet palpable guest. These elements, juxtaposed in interiors bathed in light and bright colors, invite rest and mental escape, transforming each canvas into a scene where each is invited to weave his or her own story. Arlaud's mastery of color and light, with its luminous color contrasts and bold chromatic choices, adds a vibrant dimension to his scenes, reinforcing the invitation to well-being and contemplation.
Theexhibition at Sobering Galerie is also distinguished by a pronounced social and feminist dimension, with works such as Table de peintres, where Arlaud highlights the work of historically under-represented women artists. By exhibiting books by Sonia Delaunay, Marie Laurencin and others, he not only pays tribute to their talent, but also engages in a reflection on the visibility of women in art, posing his canvases as bridges between past and present, the personal and the collective. This exploration, rooted in a reality where women artists are still struggling for recognition and visibility, enriches the exhibition with a layer of profound meaning, and invites reflection on the role of art as a vehicle for social change.
An exhibition that celebrates life, intimacy without figures, and the evocative power of art. Through his canvases, Ivan Arlaud offers a space where everyday life is transformed into visual poetry, and where each visitor is invited to find an echo of his or her own experience. An unmissable event for those seeking to enrich their view of contemporary art and the social issues it can embrace.
