Passage vers l’humanité Exhibition

The multidisciplinary artist Stella Pace delvesinto the notions of identity and belongingthroughthe theme of passage, notions that are dear to her. The exhibition is therefore significant and important: several new large formats will be presented. 

Dedicated to printed art, the exhibition Passage vers l’humanité reveals several facets of it: carborundum engravings, in particular, a series of small formats printed on mylar mounted on paper, mixed works combining collage, engraving and jute and others with collages on Japanese paper.  Primitive works from the point of view of form language, they embodynaivety and we discover in this joyful humanity, an aesthetic that is reminiscent of Africa.

The artist actively explores the clear shape, through the economy of coating of material and the addition of successive layers of raw materials. Stella Pace counterbalances the deep blacks and the smooth and coarse textures by a more sumptuous ochre palette, enhancing the overall effect. Passage vers l’humanitéalso includes ceramic sculptures. This combination of three-dimensional pieces and two-dimensional works creates an aesthetic tension with simplicity. Among the various components of this dynamic work, Passage vers l’humanité is nothing but captivating.
