Tiger in a Tropical Storm, a summer group exhibition at Louise Alexander Gallery in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy.
Exhibited artist highlight: Pier Fichefeux
The son of a theologian, Hawaii-based French artist Pier Fichefeux roots his work in philosophy and cosmology, seeking order in the chaotic forces of nature. His art includes a variety of mediums, from painting, print and sculpture to interactive or site-specific installations.
In Fichefeux’s paintings, natural landscapes dissolve into cryptic symbols of chaotic animalesque creatures fore-fronted by figures of the divine. Monsters or Saints, these figures, entangled within the forces of nature and the cycle of life, shine a light on the labyrinth of humanity.
Despite his colour-blindness, Fichefeux engages his viewers with bold colours spilling his own folkloric fantasies onto oversized canvases with dreamlike textures and compositions.
Each painting is a mystical tale representative of Pier's own experiences layered with references to mythological, religious and literary archetypes.
