Exposition L'art fantastique Paris 2009

The L’art fantastique Paris 2009 exhibition is the first outside of Japan for the IFAA with guest artists from Australia, France and Germany included. The IFAA intends this to be the first of many exhibitions abroad for their group. The exhibition is right in the heart of Paris, at the Association Culturelle Franco-Japonaise de Tenri, which is only a few blocks away from the Louvre Museum.

The International Fantastic Art Association (IFAA) is an artist group dedicated to bringing together and gaining more exposure for Japanese Fantastic Artists. The group was founded by the artist Shoji Tanaka and has so far exhibited in Kyoto and Tokyo with international guest artists.

What is Fantastic Art? It would be meaningless to answer the question as if it were the solution to a riddle. There is no exact answer. First of all, it is because Fantastic Art is neither a style of a transient fashion nor the presentation of a tantilizing concept. Throughout many ages, it is the continuing product of humanity’s resourceful imaginative power.

Special Guests: Bruno Baratier, Luigi La Speranza

Guests: Anja Brinkmann, Hugues Gillet, Laetitia Hoffmann, Leo Plaw

IFAA Members: Miyuki Aihara, Shinji Asano, Katsumi Asano, Kyoko Baba, Yasuko Fuchioka, Yasuo Hagiwara, Kouya Hakusui, Tomoko Iida, Shu Iseki, Akiko Ijichi, Kyoko Inagaki, Koichi Iyoda, Yuka Iwasaki, Andrew Jones, Akiko Oikawa, KaShiMa, Kuniaki Katsu, Kazuaki Kita, Kaoru Koga, Satomi Kuwahara, Sawsin Kondo, MAKO, Yoshiko Maezawa, Taeko Mori, Neko Midori, HIKARU, Tomohiro Nakagawa, Mitsuru Nagashima, Tooru Nogawa, Shigeo Otake, Kyoko Ote, Nobuki Omori, Akiko Sakagami Roku Sasaki, Kyoko Sato, Leo Sawaki, Takashi Sotohara, Hazuki Suketake, Shiki Suruma, Tomoko Segawa, Minae Takada, Mitsuo Takeda, Shoji Tanaka, Itsuki Tatsukikawa, Sayaka Wakabayashi, Hiroko Yamaji, Mayuko Yamamura, Yoshiaki Yamanaka, Asami Yasumoto, Miharu Yokota

News from Meta Gallery:

Fear, Hope and Love – Works by Mark Henson.

Meta Gallery is pleased to present Fear Hope and Love, an exhibition of works on canvas by Mark Henson. In his first solo exhibition with the gallery, as well as his first in Canada, the artist explores highly relevant themes in today’s socio-political climate. Through these detailed and intricate narrative works, a story unfolds, one where the antagonist becomes the heroin as we realize that even though we may be the problem, we are also the only solution.

Fear Hope and Love will be on view from October 23 to December 23, 2009. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11-6 and Sunday from 12-5. The opening reception will be on Friday October 23 from 7-10pm. Artist in attendance.

Then we’ll smile, look at the walls for a while… then the awkward silence…

On October 29 2009 in Detroit, there will be a congregation of the most controversial fine art artists from across the world to display their darkest of creations at DAMNED II. From the famous to the freshest of talent, this ominous assembly will exhibit a diversity of artistry from the deeply depraved to the intensely introspective guaranteed to intrigue, disturb, captivate or repulse. This is not Halloween-themed art but a submergence within the shadowed realms of consciousness within an intimate ambiance of haunting ethereal soundscapes, intimate gallery vignettes and cirque-inspired stage performances.
Then, on Devil’s Night (October 30), we celebrate this artistic submergence with an intimate six-course presentation style dinner of aphrodisiac-inspired cuisine followed by a formal masquerade ball within the milieu of exotic rhythms, floor performances and art. To nightcap the ball evening, we now welcome the sensuous noir cabaret sounds of Jill Tracy in a rare solo performance.
Feature guest artists are Marilyn Manson and HR Giger! Other special guests include Chad Michael Ward, Christian Correra, Jose Manuel Schmill, Rich Rethorn, Paul Rumsey, John U Abrahamson, William B Hand, JL Robbins, Eli Livingston, Stephen Blickenstaff, Janina Magnussen, Peggy Wauters, Aunia Kahn, Brian Viveros, Gary Lee, Patrick Byers, Krista Acheson, Robert Morris, Viktor Koen, James Allen, Tsubasa and 100+ other artists from all over the world!

Advance tickets (some limited) are on sale now!
