Alistair Aynscombe-Danhieux Audrey Ballacchino

Their works are obviously of different natures. Audrey Ballachino's work is largely inspired by the folk art of Sicily, where her origins lie. " He redid the route freely, like a postcard made from a collage of sunny memories. she says . The objects are made of porcelain or highly tumbled stoneware, and evoke still-life extracts covered in a creamy glaze. " In this way, I conjure up spaces of appetite and repulsion, and willingly enter the baroque register, explains the young artist. Instead, Alistair Danhieux explores the form in engobed white stoneware, to which he applies an abstract decoration using brushes and oxides. The decoration is expressed instinctively, driven by a quest for freedom. "This quest goes hand in hand with a meditative practice, which aims to approach the work from a space without judgment, or fear of being judged. It's a search for sincerity that consists in emptying myself of the mental pollution that, for me, is a hindrance to any creative process", evokes the artist. From the abstraction of one to the black or white objects of the other, the works appear designed to accommodate the memories that the viewer will project onto them..
