Jonathan Delachaux 2007
February 15, 2007- March 17, 2007
Reception: February 15, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
526 W 26th St
Jonathan Delachaux, a painter who has been awarded the Swiss Award for young artists twice, bleeds the boundaries between art and life by introducing us to Vassili Lavandier, Johan Wacquez and Naïma Bourquin: three puppets whose daily lives and experiences provide the plot lines for his own artistic productions. From trips to New York, Berlin, Japan and India to their band, which provides Delachaux's exhibitions with unique sound tracks, these individuals hold lives separate from their inventor's, which occasionally come together for natural reasons of professionalism and friendship. Part performance, part materiality, Delachaux's tromp l'oeil representations of his companions beg the question of wherein his work lies.
Jonathan Delachaux (b.1976) has been exhibiting since 1990; this is his first U.S. exhibition.
