A hanging party in Lagny!....

Well, there wer two guys in neckties, but nobody got hurt!

Seriously, last night was the opening of Clémentine P.'s very small exposition at Vélin in Lagny. Velin (run for several decades by Michelle Welinsky, who is a well-known local figure in her own right) is a clothing shop which has an active cultural season, exposing artists, organizing small concerts and other manifestations.

Only a handful of works were exposed and it was difficult to see any interconnection between the works chosen, other than the artist's usual preoccupations with urban architecture juxtaposed with surreal quotations from Pop culture. Miss Clémentine P. explained that she had several expositions in preparation, so she selected images from disparate sources which were not actually intended to be displayed together. Given the limited number of images displayed and this information, it is difficult to discuss the actual exposition, other than to point out an influence of Buffet and Soulages, which the artist acknowledged during our short conversation.
