Patrick Vandecasteele lives and works in Malakoff. Drawing from theater and dance documentation, he has been painting in a figurative style with oils for 15 years. His painting focuses on the human posture, aiming to evoke the infinite spectrum of our presentations to the world. Over the past seven years, his exhibitions have been held in Paris, Avignon, Venice, Milan, and Berlin. Vandecasteele’s work explores the physical, psychological, and social postures of humans and the various costumes they use to clothe their intimate hiatuses. His paintings aim to close the gap between the gesture-subject and painted-gesture, capturing the spontaneity, transience, and unconscious inhabiting of a body, as well as the links between comportment, thoughts, gestures, intentions, and the flawed restraint of impulses and words; our mental tête-à-têtes. Nicolás Di Gesu, a figurative painter based in Madrid, studied drawing and painting in Argentina and Spain. Recently, he has been focusing on themes related to death and memory, inspired by 19th-century postmortem photography. These historical images devise initial motives for his paintings. Postmortem (or Memorial Paintings) showcases artworks that explore representations of death through an intimate and silent lens. The exhibition includes postmortem portraits and still lifes realized in oil on canvas or wood. Through these creations, Di Gesu reflects on memory, absence, and the human impulse to preserve that which inevitably fades. Rather than resorting to shock or spectacle, his paintings offer a pause, fostering reflection on what remains after the loss. Withered flowers and still faces become visual symbols of suspended beauty, highlighting the tension between the ephemeral and the lasting.
