LA CASTIGLIONE - Roll-on 5ml test dose

Fred Fou, Photographer.

Like an alchemist, I intervene in photography mainly with simple materials (scotches, papers, inks, pencils, pastels, pens, paints, liquid bitumen…).

I push to the limit of support each draw, pushing all established rules. Immersed in ink baths, each impression gives itself at random a controlled metamorphosis. Next comes sequencing, marks and traces on photography, painting, assemblages, collages.

This setting creates two spaces that provoke and lead the gaze of a «Before» towards a «Elsewhere».   

The series «Approximative Landscapes» asks about the processes of exploration and appearance of the image. 

Around this representation, it is my own interior landscape as poetic and visual layers that appears on the surface. The art of telling with light what is mysterious and intimate, secretly deep and enclosed in the shadows.

To venture, to create a landscape for light, to redo the route of the day, from one bank to the other, to print sound...

Nathalie Sonnet, ceramist

After studying history, I joined the Louvre Museum at the end of the 80’s, then in full mutation. My gaze is particularly focused on ceramics, perhaps because here one perceives the hand shaping matter. I then resume studies of art history and, from eye to hand, other apprenticeships, which gradually and durably attach me to this material, clay. In 2005 I set up a workshop in Normandy, where color and light nourish my work. 

Since then, following a path of research in forms, colors, textures, the body is increasingly involved in gesture and develops proximity and intimacy with matter.

Harmony, classicism, style and restraint are the values Cléo de Merode acquired at the Paris opera. But her controlled appearance conceals a more ambiguous nature. Like a fierce hetaira, she stands out in a sort of brothel that has become the foyer of the ballet school.
She was considered the world’s most beautiful woman in 1896. An absolute star, she captured her contemporaries’ imagination.

Jardins d'écrivains embodies the spirit of "La Pléiade" with a line of perfumes in their vegetable-tanned leather cases.

In the freshness of a Mudéjar patio appears the memory of a Sevillian poet embodying the golden age.

A scent of green oranges and mint gracefully wafts through the air.

The rustling of the musky sour orange leaves augurs a radiant and distinguished Andalusian spirit.

Epicurus (342 BC JC-270 BC), Greek philosopher.
The garden is the philosophical school open to men, women and slaves founded by Epicurus. A minimalist perfume with notes of licorice macerated with apothecary plants.

Jardins d’Ecrivains puts its own interpretation on the fascinating Virginia Woolf fantasy. An androgynous character with eternal youth, Lord Orlando in the Elizabethan era becomes Lady Orlando in the 18th century. Quirky blends with the eclectic and timeless in a spellbinding fragrance. Irrational dreams, an eastern monarchy and a sense of the divine linger in its wake.

The new ager explores a new religiosity that appeared in the 20th century.

A spirituality centered on the “mystical self” and inspired by different influences.

This quest reveals a cosmic patchouli with jasmine and incensed essences of a divine nature.
