PAINTERS & PHOTOGRAPHERS in EUROPE
Art for Europe was born out of an observation : painting, and more particularly figurative painting, has gradually been evacuated, since the seventies, from the field of contemporary art, in favor of a neutral art – some will say cold – spectator or director of its own disappearance.
It seems to us that this distance inaugurated a lack of sensitivity and a loss of meaning of the artistic project as trace or shadow of the human.
However, many artists, painters, photographers from all over the world have taken another path, written another history of art. We have chosen to take our steps and look at the vast Europe with the will to meet the protagonists of this other modernity.
Review
The Art for Europe Magazine is a journal of tastes and moods. Exhibitions reviews, portraits, reading notes, critical texts, travel diary pages, anecdotes, sketches.
Most of its place is dedicated to the evocation of museums, galleries, bookstores, libraries, places of exchange, cafes. It is conceived as a place of expression widely open to all artistic and philosophical opinions and sensibilities.
Places
Each of us has in mind a subjective cartography, a net of memories and imprints, which links us to places in the world, leads us inevitably to lay our steps in the ancient ones. Museums, galleries, workshops, churches, landscapes, urban perspectives, a staircase, a bridge, a street corner, the color of a sky make up an imaginary geography, an aesthetic and emotional, unique and inalterable identity card. Neither the notoriety nor the beauty of the place matters, only counts this precipitate, this fragile and yet perennial memory trace, this broken memory of an enigmatic conjunction of light, colors, sounds. Art for Europe evokes these places of objective chance and individual necessity.
Gallery
The purpose of Art for Europe is to highlight new talents and bridge the gap between European artists who favor painting and photography. Meetings with artists and personalities from the world of culture, portraits, interviews. Art for Europe wants to build over time a virtual gallery of its favorite artists. It aims at creating links and convergences between artists from different backgrounds.
