CARTE BLANCHE
Ecorce de pierre Tirage contact platine palladium de l’empreinte hybride d’un Khatchkar du Monastère Geghard, Arménie. 85,6 x 171 cm Tirage atelier Laurent lafolie, éd 1/5 + 2 ea, 2018
For his second exhibition at RX&SLAG Gallery, Pascal Convert presents, as part of the celebration of Armenia in France for 2024, a series of photographic and paper works from his emblematic series of khatchkars deliberately destroyed by hatred in Armenian Christian cemeteries. Remaining faithful to his work of memory, he extends his investigations into the archaeological trace of spiritual sites. A tragic echo will resonate in one of the gallery rooms where Pascal Convert will display glass bells, a poignant testimony to the Ukrainian conflict that resonates daily at our borders.
Solo show of Pascal Convert
May 4th to June 8th, 2024

Joao Trévisan, a young Brazilian artist, is invited by curator Simon Watson as part of a carte blanche at RX&SLAG Gallery. This first exhibition in France presents a series of paintings created for the occasion and executed during his residency in Lisbon in March and April. In these abstract paintings, black paint dominates through successive layers of color glazes, suddenly revealing tensions between light and darkness. The artist offers us a new hypnotic dimension of pictorial materiality.

The gallery
Founded in 2002 by Éric Rodrigue and Éric Dereumaux, Galerie RX, located in the heart of Le Marais since 2016, showcases the work of around fifteen recognized photographers and visual artists from the French and international scenes. The layout of the new space offers gallery artists new exhibition perspectives and encourages collaborations with international curators and artists. Each exhibition allows for simultaneous hangings, fostering a dialogue around the works of different gallery or guest artists and enabling multiple solo shows to coexist. The gallery also develops projects with public and private institutions. In 2021, the gallery expanded to the United States in partnership with Slag Gallery, which has been established in New York for 15 years. The new entity, RX&SLAG, fosters a dynamic where the pooling of expertise from both galleries on the French and American scenes contributes to revealing a young artistic scene while also developing the representation of transatlantic historical artists.
