PLAYING WITH CHILDHOOD. THE EXHIBITION AT CASA EQUIS GALLERY
Durante 3000 años (For 3000 years) is artist Antoine Quairiat’s exhibition at Casa Equis gallery, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Curated by Claudio Roncoli.
Antoine Quairiat's exhibition features fourteen paintings in which the artist plays with the relationship between rudimentary modeling and realistic painting, with materials associated with childhood, such as plasticine and archetypal themes that refer to the history of art.
In the artist's words: "When I began to paint characters that had been modeled as a hobby, something strange happened. The status of the object that had been made between friends in a few encounters changed radically. Its new enlarged size gave it a new status, one that seemed to allow and exalt the affection I felt for these small rough shapes."
