Assembling thirty photographs by Dolores Marat, all dealing with the animal kingdom, FLAIR Galerie invites us to explore in an unusual and unprecedented fashion the work of this singular artist. The exhibition, being held from July 2^nd to August 27^th, consists exclusively of Fresson prints, a rare printing process perfectly befitting, in their smoky aspect, the oneiric quality of her work.

Dogland, first exhibition of Lucy Marshall, alias The Dogophile, at FLAIR Galerie, is a cheering portrait collection of … dogs. Armed to the teeth with canine humor, our cynophilist contemplates her high society kennel without concession, her vision nonetheless crossbred with tenderness — box of dog chow in hand, shoulder bag full of plastic bones, to say nothing of inks, pigments and watercolours. The dogs she shows an affection for, as sincere as artistic, are not the sole subjects of her mordant drawing. Beyond, under those furry coats, we are effortlessly able to make out  men … or women.

Entitled Impatience, Jean-François Spricigo’s photographs, showing at FLAIR Galerie March 25th thru May 7th, exhibit in a mesmerizing fashion a proximity to the animal kingdom transfigured by an unfailing oddity. Often denuded of any depth of field, dipped into an intense black and white, each vibrant image of this bestiary, springing at the confluence of poetry and reverie, testifies to a singular sovereignty, offering itself as an epiphany.

This exhibition presents original artwork by Jenifer Corker and Holy Smoke. It displays a collection of fabric sculptures and paintings with embroideries that delicately and thoughtfully take the dog as their subject. Deftly crafting woven textile and thread, these artists capture the beauty of form, shape, surface and variety of these canines whilst simultaneously exploring their inner nature. Rather than investing these animals with human attributes or endowing them with the task of conveying any symbolic or hidden meaning, both artists sensitively engage with fiber art to communicate the intellect, intuition and instinct that are intrinsic to the dogs themselves.

With this exhibition entitled “All Friends” presented for the first time at FLAIR Galerie, Baltasar Dürrbach  assembles a rich bestiary, in a score of Indian ink drawings and three paintings. Both for the animals he encounters in his everyday environment, like the donkey, the rooster and the dog, and other more exotic specimens like the elephant, the rhinoceros and the giraffe, each translates the inner state of the artist at the precise moment when he indulges his artistic bent.

During the summer season, FLAIR Galerie will show two unusual artists whose work from the very start took hold of animal figures. The snapshots in color or in black and white by Nicolas Guilbert, and the wire sculptures by Marie Christophe, make up a touching bestiary in which humor and lightness predominate.

FLAIR Galerie will show twelve illustrations by Christian Roux drawn from the book « The wolf and the seven young goats », published in January 2015 by the Editions Seuil Jeunesse.

For its opening on April 3, 2015, FLAIR Galerie is offering about twenty works that make up a retrospective of the Roman artist Salvatore Puglia, on the theme of the impossible contemporary dialogue between man, the animal and nature.
