The Painter of the Eye: Antonio Veronese

  “The Painter of the Eye” is Antonio Veronese’s latest exhibition, held at the Town Hall of the 6 th  arrondissement in Paris from 30 April to 28 May 2024.   The Italian-Brazilian artist Antonio Veronese, born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1953, has lived in Paris since 2004. Before leaving Brazil, he worked for 16 years teaching art to juvenile offenders in the Rio de Janiero prison system.    With 77 solo exhibitions around the world, French critics consider Veronese to be “one of the ten living painters who have already left their tracks on the history of Art.” His paintings in the 1980s and 1990s denouncing violence against child prisoners in Brazil led to a Supreme Court of Justice award and invitations to represent the United Nations. His works have been said to “connect with the soul, conveying pure, powerful emotion beyond words.” MARTINA NICOLLS MartinaNicollsWebsite    I    Rainy Day Healing    I    Martinasblogs    I    Publications    I    Facebook    I    Paris Website    I   

Invincible Summer: Anja Hagemann mixes poetry and painting

  French artist Anja Hagemann is exhibiting her works in the Town Hall of the 6 th  arrondissement in Paris from 2-18 May 2024.   The vibrant exhibition, called “Invincible Summer” comes from a line from Algerian-born French author Albert Camus (1913-1960): “In the middle of winter, I found within myself an invincible summer.”   Her artworks, enhancing the spirit and light of summer, are a mix of acrylic paint, Indian ink, gold leaf, fabrics, and glued papers. In her plant prints, Anja Hagemann says she “celebrates our connection with nature, encouraging us to embrace all facets of life.” With a doctorate in literature, her work is inspired by the interaction between poetry and painting.    MARTINA NICOLLS MartinaNicollsWebsite    I    Rainy Day Healing    I    Martinasblogs    I    Publications    I    Facebook    I    Paris Website    I    Paris blogs    I   Animal Website    I   Flower Website   I   Global Gentlemanliness SUBSCRIBE TO MARTINA NICOLLS FOR NEWS AND UPDATES  Martina Ni
