Paris's Molitor Hotel unveils the second edition of its highly anticipated exhibition, Les Cabines d'Artistes, transforming its legendary poolside cabins into a vibrant canvas for contemporary global art. This unique showcase, curated by Artistic Director Sylvia Randazzo, features over 50 artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, blending artistic expressions and breaking creative boundaries.
Each cabin becomes a gateway to artistic exploration, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of styles, themes, and techniques. The exhibition highlights the universal language of art and the profound narratives emerging from personal and collective experiences. Here are some of the standout contributors to this extraordinary exhibition:
- Refreshink (Giovanni Magnoli) brings a striking balance of graffiti influences and layered abstractions, offering viewers a bold commentary on urban aesthetics.
- Yu Maeda from Japan captivates with his surreal paintings that merge cultural motifs and modern artistry.
- Dina Saadi, a Syrian street artist, explores themes of identity and mental well-being with vibrant murals inspired by nature and cultural heritage.
- Cranio (Fabio Oliveira), a Brazilian artist, uses his signature blue Indigenous characters to address socio-political issues with sharp humour.
- Shoof, a Tunisian artist, deconstructs Arabic calligraphy to create abstract, rhythmic forms questioning the intersection of tradition and contemporary expression.
- Meriam Benkirane from Casablanca offers vivid geometric creations that critique the illusions of ultra-modern life.
- Aya Abu Hawash, a Lebanese-Palestinian artist, presents deeply personal multimedia works that reflect on Arab cultural narratives.
- Zlism (Zoie Lam), a Hong Kong artist, invites audiences into her whimsical, imaginary world populated by heartwarming characters and positive energy.
