Michel De Caso is the discoverer and theoretician of the artistic concept "Rectoversion", which refers to the 'rotation of the front side' of the canvas as the artist works on both sides of the board and then perforates it to allow the viewer to peer through the picture. De Caso uses this approach to shed new light on the foundations of the human condition, inviting the viewer to contemplate his existence, the process of questioning and various facets highlighted by the forced mobility around the work, as well as one's weaknesses in the face of the painting.

De Caso exposes the reverse side as a complementary part to the front of the work. The holes through the picture bring another dimension —a third dimension upon the work—which brings together the first two. The two sides of a painted picture that are linked by a vacuum are open to the sagacious interpretation skills of the spectator.

Michel De Caso comes from Toulouse, France and currently lives in the South of France near Carcasonne. He studied Art in Paris but considers himself primarily a self-taught artist. Although principally known for "Rectoversion", he continues to paint numerous single canvases.

Fanciful swirls of color satiate Flora’s canvases.  These are not haphazard eruptions of creativity, they are breathtakingly intricate designs.  Each painting, though bursting with vibrancy, is meticulously crafted.  The rich color schemes and elaborate shapes lend an air of sophistication to Flora’s work. Weaving her way between artistic styles, Flora creates works that range from the lyric abstraction to the impressionist.  At times, the explosion of glowing red, yellow, and green against the dark background of her canvas look like photographs of supernovas.  Other times, when light blue and aquamarines bubble up like the surf, the paintings look like they’ve found inspiration in the mysterious depths of the oceans. 

Through her art, Flora constantly plays a game of questions and answers.  Although the paintings are for the most part abstract, the observant viewer may at times discover figures hidden within the strata of the material.  Born in Italy, Flora currently resides in France.  Her work has been shown in Europe, Japan, Emirates (Arab United), Canada, and the United States.

Isabelle worked as an art director for various magazines and then as a freelancer for over 15 years, before dedicating herself full-time to her art beginning in 1999.  She keeps a studio in the Provence region of France.

Géry Lamarre mixes colors and lacquers, applying hues then reshaping and mixing them so as to record his gestures in form and tone. The French painter explains that this blending technique was inspired by water, and there’s an unmistakably fluid, immersive quality to his more or less reflective, translucent paints. His identification with water results not only from living near France’s northern coast, but also from time spent in New Caledonia. The confluence of colorful liquids across Lamarre’s canvases varies between abstract expressionism and action painting, where shades and textures flow into one another, sometimes blending and elsewhere competing for dominance.

The elemental imagery in Lamarre’s work, the impression of watching primal forces meeting and melding in alternately explosive and smooth compositions, lends them universal immediacy. Seeing his canvases change depending on lighting and position recalls the geological upheavals of the planet’s creation, the bodily forms and movements of child birth, the pulsing energies of human passion and no less the artist’s eloquent gestures.

Pamela Luchitta's bold, brilliantly colored acrylic paintings reverberate with a musical energy and syncopated sense of rhythm.  The artist works with abstracted imagery in active scenes in which the figure is reduced to its purest form.  Rounded geometric shapes rendered in vibrant Fauvist shades, interplay with each other across the canvas to create an engaging dialogue of color, shape and movement.  Luchitta's diverse body of paintings reflects the vast influence of her frequent international travels.  From Africa to the Americas; Europe to the Far East, Luchitta examines the world with the inquisitive and discerning eye of an artist, incorporating the spirit of each place she travels into her new paintings. Furthermore, her paintings serve as expression of her own artistic soul, expressing the joys, sorrows, and experiences her rich life continues to offer her.

Born in Italy, Pamela Luchitta has studied in Rome, Dublin, and London.  She currently lives and works in Paris and exhibits her work in Europe and the US.

Hector Marino's oils are eminently physical works.  Thick impasto and deep, tangible color literally extend outside of the usual two-dimensionality of painting.  Brush and knife are called into service both to slather the canvas with paint and to peel it back, often swath by swath.  This results in backgrounds so fully realized that their visual interest is often equal to that of the main subject itself.  He can expertly capture broad expanses of water and sky with almost impossibly rich smoothness offset by careful textural variations that mimic the never-uniform dynamics of the physical world.  Marino also clearly knows how to call upon the "less is more" philosophy when needed, as often he breaks up fields of color by the smallest patches of dramatically complemental hues.

Marino has a touch and discipline that belie the fact that he has been painting for less than a decade.  It is not surprising, then, that already he has exhibited in his native France, in Canada, and in New York. 

In Thierry Michelet’s paintings, the human form is not simply a static object but a complex and emotional expression of a being.  Even when the subject matter itself is distorted and fragmented, his portraits depict reality because the feelings they represent are common to the human experience.  

In particular, Michelet’s studies of the face exude intensity.  The black-and-white palette pushes this feeling even further by favoring stark contrasts over shades of grey.  The black and white wrestle on the canvas the way one’s mind sometimes wrestles with emotional trauma.   One can see in the dark eyes and twisted mouths of the individuals portrayed that they are grappling with their thoughts. Interestingly, the more colorful paintings, in warm tones of orange, beige, and pink, hide the subject’s face.  Here, it is the angles of the body that tell a story.  The nudes are shown at various angles and positions on the canvas as they stretch, bend, and contort their bodies. Thierry Michelet lives in Bordeaux, France.

Moody works that cause the viewer to stop and ponder their significance typify the art of Rémi Salin.  There is no clear subject matter here.  Rather, there are abstract designs so intricate that on first glance the viewer believes they are indeed concrete images.  One’s eyes turn the paint strokes into skeletons, fleeting characters in fancy garb, and doorways, but then, all too quickly, these images recede back into mysterious abstractions.
