“SENSITIVE EYE”
ARTHUR DORVAL – SÉBASTIEN PRESCHOUX – SWIZ
NOVEMBER 7 > DECEMBER 7, 2024
Initiated in 2014 as a nod to the exhibition “Responsive Eye” organized at MOMA in 1965, the “Sensitive Eye” program is a series of exhibitions with a focus on themes dear to the gallery, ranging from optical art to geometric abstraction and playing on our visual perception.
Inspired by the pointillists, cubists and other futurists of the first half of the 20th century, Optical Art has continued to surprise since its rise in the 1960s. Essentially abstract, the creations of optical art and geometric abstraction actively engage the viewer.
By showing different games of movement, light and balance, Op Art explores the dynamics of vision and the fallibility of the eye.
It plays on illusions and perceptions to better place the viewer at the center of new sensory experiences, between pleasure and vertigo.
These visual solicitations, tested by the sensitive, are at the heart of the works of the artists brought together by the David Bloch Gallery for this new, unique exhibition, renewed in the form of an exhibition bringing together a selection of works by three artists from the gallery.
This new exhibition “SENSITIVE EYE” will bring together a selection of works, some of which are exclusive on canvas, paper, wood panels as well as bas-reliefs in galvanized metal.
The viewer will be able to contemplate an in-situ installation by Sébastien Preschoux.
This exhibition will also be marked by the launch of a new brass sculpture in edition (8 copies + 4 artist’s proofs) by Arthur Dorval “CUBE/OFFSHORE”.
