Descrizione Opera / Biografia
Emmanuel Monziès is transposing living material like plants and bodies on paper or on canvas with a predilection for monotypes.This complex living world we neglect, if not destroy, is revealed by shadows, imprints and drawings. “Printing life” is becoming the common thread of his artworks.Rebel Plants is one of his last exhibition: These monotypes transform imprint of plants into abstraction. The printing plate is reused several times with additional inking and drawings which create an intriguing complexity from successive compositions.Latest Awards:- Winner participation prize: 6th Bio-Art contest, Seoul, Korea (October 2018)- Winner Painting Category: ITSLIQUID International Contest 5th Edition 2017 (July 2018)- Finalist of the contest “The Artist of the Year 2017” by Pratique des Arts (January 2018)- Special Recognition Award: Pattern art exhibition, Light Space Time Online Art Gallery (Dec. 2017)Latest interviews: - Emmanuel Monzies interview by Luca Curci on the ITSLIQUID contemporary art platform (October 2018)- 3 Creative Questions to Emmanuel Monzies on the Creative Questions Art Gallery and Blog (October 2018)- Interview de Emmanuel Monzies by RankArt blog (In French, March 2019)Latest exhibitions:- Galerie L’Etangd’Art, Bages, France (Nov 2018/Jan 2019)- 3° Bienal Internacional de Miniprint 2018 Santa Fe, Argentina (Sept./Oct. 2018)- 6th Bio-Art contest Insa Art Plaza Gallery, Seoul, Korea (Oct. 2018)- Fundació Tharrats d’Art Gràfic, Pineda de Mar, Spain (Oct/Nov 2018)- Miniprint Kazanlak – Sofia Art Gallery Pentimento, Sofia, Bulgaria, (July 2018)- 38th Mini Print International, Taller Galeria Fort, Cadaqués, Spain (June/sept 2018)- Biennale Internationale d’Art Miniature, Galerie du Rift, Ville-Marie, Canada (June/Sept 2018)- 6x6x2018, Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Rochester, USA (June/July 2018)- Miniprint Kazanlak, Fine Arts Gallery Kazanlak, Bulgaria (June 2018)- 7ème exposition internationale bisannuelle d’estampes miniatures, Ecole d’Art d’Ottawa, Canada (May/June 2018)- Fête de l’Estampe, Saint-Cloud, France (May 2018)- 2nd Annual Black & White Art Exhibition, Exposition en ligne, (May 2018)- Hôtel Mercure Paris Saint Cloud Hippodrome, Saint-Cloud, France, (May 2018)- MaylArt – Contemporary Culture Center UrFU, Ekaterinbourg, Russie (May 2018)- Kobern-Gondorf Town Hall, Germany (May 2018)- Untitled Gallery Life Drawing Montmartre, Paris, France (April/May 2018)- 2ème biennale internationale de l’estampe, Dreux, France (April/June 2018)- Weißenthurm Town Hall, Germany (April 2018)- Authentic Mark – Dubai Art Week, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (March 2018)- Kulturbunker Köln, Cologne, Germany (March 2018)- JVS Project Space, New-York, United States (Jan/March 2018)- Lessedra Gallery, Sofia, Bulgaria (Dec 2017/March 2018)- Galerie Métanoïa, Paris, France (Dec 2017/Jan 2018)- Light Space Time Online Art Gallery (Dec 2017 – Special Recognition Award)- Arte Grafica Italiana, Castello di Peraga, Vigonza, Italy (Nov/Dec 2017)- Galerie L’Etangd’Art, Bages, France (Nov 2017/Jan 2018)- Andrew Edlin Gallery, New-York, United States (Nov 2017/Jan 2018)- ID Fleurs, Saint-Cloud, France (Nov 2017)- Fundació Tharrats d’Art Gràfic, Pineda de Mar, Spain (Oct/Nov 2017)- Festival Arts et Vigne – Plantes rebelles, Châtillon-en-Diois, France (Aug 2017)- Wingfield Barns, Norfolk, United Kingdom (July/Sep 2017)- Taller Galeria Fort, Cadaqués, Spain (July/Sept 2017)- Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Norwalk, United States, (June/Aug 2017)
