La Chapelle des Arts exhibition: Yoyo Ich and Gipé,

Paintings-Sculptures Complementary stories of detour around black cakes. Yoyo Ich: Trompe-l'œil linking covers and visuals Behind this mischievous pseudonym hides a strange bird. A tightrope walker of the visible, a lunar character balancing on a tightrope between reality and the mental space of abstraction. His backgrounds, conceived as abstract compositions, initially live their own lives. Until the day when a piece of the real comes along. Carina Istre For this exhibition, I'll be offering vinyl record sleeves on which I'll be intervening pictorially, in a style I'm particularly fond of: humor and poetry... Gipé: Presentations of 33 rpm sculptures My sculptures are born of the osmosis between listening to music and thinking about art. As early as 1994, I decided to hijack the 33 rpm record, then abandoned for digital format, in order to honor this culture. By heating and cutting the black I revere, the disc changes dimension. Faces appear, lines escape. For years, I've been manipulating the material to create new forms. Time distorts everything: we used to throw these records away, now we tear them up. Black is a color.
