Marcelle Alix
Spugne Chiuse - Ernesto Sartori , Italy
Ernesto Sartori, Me at Home Alone (Dancing), 2017,Acrylique et gouache sur bois, 43,5 x 60 cm
The objects have the easy life with Ernesto Sartori. He wants them. And to live with them, he does it differently than most people. He collects them and often keeps them in pieces to draw them into beneficent fictions kneaded into mysterious mixtures. His fictions create landscapes that one would like to go to, not only to feel better, but to make the gestures of living. To simply live.
Perhaps one should imagine oneself as a peasant before being an artist. Perhaps Ernesto Sartori is a remarkable painter because he doesn't just do part of the work, but all of it. He does the whole work and nothing is missing. His work has never lost its artisanal quality. Many things pass through his hands before being transformed into landscapes where one can identify a magnitude of life. His landscapes and still lifes are infinite and of all times. Perhaps, Ernesto Sartori's paintings tell us, it is more necessary to be in control of one's life before creating to live or living to create.

The gallery
We founded Marcelle Alix in 2009 in a characteristic store in the Belleville district. Our ambition is above all to follow a rhythm that we consider appropriate to our activity, to remain independent of any form of norm or pressure and to take pleasure in what we do. The gallery is for us a creative space where the dialogue with the artists is not only turned towards the commercialization of the works of art but also reflects an equal relationship to creativity.
For more than 10 years we have been accompanying artists whose careers have evolved at the same pace as the gallery. We have remained connected to the French scene while turning towards the international, to accompany both the emergence of artists whose practice has been neglected and the development of new perspectives in sculpture or video.
