DE CASTELBAJAC
at Art Saint Barth
EDEN ROCK GALLERY & ART SAINT BARTH PRESENT
JEAN-CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC
“WINDS OF CHANGES”
EXHIBITION 30 JULY – 27 AUGUST, 2016
Eden Rock Gallery, from its location at the beach of the iconic hotel Eden Rock – St Barths, along with Art Saint Barth, promoting the island as an international art destination, invite Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.
Not exactly on our daily route, but we thought to share this imagery of JCC. And for those jetsetting people who can afford to visit the place - hurry up - it seems your days are count, the wind of cange is blowing harder everyday.
For his second exhibition at Eden Rock – St Barths, a place where the winds meet, the artist has created a series of 10 flags that will be exhibited on the beach outside the gallery, a series of drawings on lightweight cigarette paper, painted in Japanese ink, to tell stories imagined, serene scenes with literary evocations like Robinson Crusoe, the sea, strange animals, wild nature, far away from all the turmoil of today’s society and In a triptych canvas, Castelba- jac has painted the forms of Matisse, somewhere between clouds and flowers. Castelbajac’s new works represents hope, and the idea that the wind carries these images of hope that can then travel around the world with messages of sharing, fraternity and love. There may be a form of naivete in this series, as in the recent exhibition of Rousseau there is a desire for things more related to the heart than the intellect. A word to name this exhibition in Spanish would be “Esperanza”, in French “Espérance” and in English ”Winds of Changes”.
