Notre Dame on fire
A series of new paintings by Paulin Paris
On view by appointment
Location : 13703 Cordary Ave, # 6 - 8, Hawthorne, CA 90250 USA
Three years ago, the images of N.D. on fire went viral. For many, the drama unfolding in front of us was deeply moving. Watching the event from California, I could feel that an inner part of myself was touched. I decided to dedicate a series of paintings to the event. In a sense they are historical paintings, directly related to the day. They also represent a very painterly subject, as churches and cathedrals have been embraced by many artists over the centuries.
A mental space
The work opens a mental space where we re-experience the event, the fire ignites again, for us to ponder its meaning. When you look, something is in motion within yourself. Regarding the symbolic dimension of the fire, I’m choosing to see it as an ignition point, a time for the realization of new insights, into what was not seen before.

“Notre-Dame on fire” Project
I see this work as a starting point to something larger, that would include many artists from both continents. I would like to have the opportunity to present the “Notre Dame on fire” paintings for a public viewing. The paintings would be part of an exhibition presenting artworks connected to the event and the restoration of the Cathedral.
I envision the “Notre-Dame on fire” Project as a traveling show, from the US to France and back. There is a healing quality associated with the project, a way for the people to experience their connection with the event and reassess its meaning in their life. Art helps us to be more resilient, and to stay connected with each other and with oneself when times are difficult..
Regarding the location, for France, next to the cathedral or the Town Hall Place, would be the best, and a major cultural institution for the US.
Thank you for your attention, for your help and suggestions, your support can make all the difference.

Straw Wall for a Beach House
How much can a Straw Wall transform your space?
We just created a Straw Wall for a contemporary modern Beach house in Marina Del Rey. From conception to installation, the Straw Wall illustrates the powerful presence of this natural material and it's ability to bring radiance into any space.
Every Straw Wall is custom to fit your unique project. With our assistance you will choose from a wide variety of tile patterns and Straw colors.Then each Straw Tile is then made by hand, following the antique savoir faire of the Straw Marquetry technique.
The result is a radiant presence of an ever-changing light, bringing a new tangible value to the whole space. There is nothing else like Straw.

During this event, I will be presenting the Flower Collection and a selection of artworks in The Magic Set. The Flower paintings are new works from 2018, and are spray painted and stenciled. I see those tools as a derivation process and a way to relate to fundamentals. Additionally, the Flower series links to art history, as these paintings offer a kind of metal cubism, shifting from one point of view to another.

A New Vision
Last month surgery was a complete success, beyond expectations, it is for me a new vision, I see now better than I ever did.Thank you so much for your support and confidence, it made all the difference.
During my recovery, I started a serie of “Flowers” paintings, a work done with spray paint and stencils. I see those tools as a way to relate to fundamentals, afterall they are the oldest techniques dating for the cave paintings.
“Flowers” are the direct result of a process, but from different points of view, including the leftovers. It's a creative dynamic that generate itself in different tonalities.
It's also the expression of a feeling of elation and gratitude for my vision that I wanted to share with you.
