Founded in 2007, the Friends of the Beaux-Arts de Paris association, governed by the law of 1901, aims to contribute to the activities and influence of the institution. It supports exhibitions, colloquia, conferences, educational activities, etc., notably by encouraging young artists, sponsoring studio or student projects, following their careers and their professional integration, and contributing to their discovery by the public.
From February 3 to 14, 2021, the Beaux-Arts de Paris launched CRUSH.
An exhibition for art professionals revealing some forty students in the course of their studies selected by three guest curators: Gaël Charbau, an art critic and independent curator, Xavier Franceschi, the Director of the FRAC Ile-de-France and Céline Poulin, the Director of the CAC Brétigny.
Love at first sight guaranteed!
On January 15, the Childress workshop exhibited in the right and left galleries the latest productions of the students present at the School.
12 diptychs, that is 12 pairs of images that meet like for a speed dating.
We tried to constitute these pairs as works for two, created a posteriori.
An alignment from the bottom of the paintings, engravings and prints offers a serene setting for the encounter,
like a coffee table, a bench, a beach.
