COLOURS OF HOPE
Art Exhibition
Antoinette Rozan
Freedom, Movement, Paradox and Energy are the words that best describe Antoinette Rozan and her work. Self-taught multi-disciplinary artist for 20 years, creation is for her a vital expression, which she explores in 2D and 3D, in life and in public spaces, to convey its power and energy to us on a daily basis.
She creates upon different media, with different materials: ink on paper, tarps, aluminium, silicone, bronze, metal and resin. Her dearest dream is to create emotion by integrating art quite naturally into the daily lives of everyone.
The great success of her first exhibition in France in 2005, and of Sin Sin Gallery’s Trust in Hong Kong, convinced her to devote herself to her art. Over the past 15 years, she has displayed her art in various places, from the most prestigious to the more intimate, in France and abroad. Her works have been showed in museums (Hong Kong Museum of Medicine and Sciences, Grataloup Museum in Paris), institutions and galleries (Sin Sin Fine art, Alliance française, Rouge Ephemere, etc.), fairs (Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong) and public places (Cité Radieuse du Corbusier, Clinique Saint Martin in Marseille, Tai Koo Place in Hong Kong). Her joyful art leaves a lasting impression and she has been trusted to carry out multiple public and private commissions in France and China.
Paradox is the source of the strength she infuses into her work. She sculpts in volume, yet sees with only one eye. She expresses that life is a perpetual wave of energy in motion, yet her spine has been sealed since childhood. In her work she embodies the joy of living, yet her life was strewn with hardship. Life may sometimes give us the illusion that we are limited, but, Antoinette Rozan proves, through the universal symbols that vibrate in our lives, that we are limitless. Through her work and her messages, we reconnect with the idea that anything is possible despite appearances.
In 2018 Antoinette Rozan feels the need to express her need for appeasement with a new project full of sense. Facing calls for war, separation, disunity and violence, LOVERDOSE is a movement in response to the prevailing gloom, a remedy to re-discover the powerful sense of Life deep down inside of us! In their joyful momentum, these big XXL hearts urge us to do the opposite of what we hear and see everyday: it's a call to live with values of fraternity, love and respect. LOVERDOSE is born of a deep need to recreate bonds between us all, to accept the other, to welcome difference, and cherish diversity.
With their vibrant colors and the energy that drives them, these flags are symbols for rallying people around a common cause: a call to put the heart back at the center of our lives, rather than our egos. That’s why the characters depicted are welcoming, joyful and expressive, yet small and humble.
LOVERDOSE launches a huge wave of calls to Love in a bigger, louder and more powerful way.
Join the dance! Join the movement! Join the re-love-ution!
