杜梦堂荣幸呈现小型沙龙项目《仲夏夜之梦》，展出布鲁诺·加丹纳(Bruno Gadenne，生于1990年)的油画作品和塔玛丽·伯瑞利(Tamaris Borrelly，生于1987年)的水彩作品。

正如莎士比亚在其著名喜剧《仲夏夜之梦》中让我们看到了早期现代思想将梦作为表达情感、欲望、和莫名冲动的渠道，两位艺术家通过各自的绘画创作向我们展现了人类通过记忆、梦境、数字世界和其他经验对周围环境的感知和投射。

Galerie Dumonteil is delighted to present “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, a small salon project featuring oil paintings by Bruno Gadenne (b.1990) and watercolors by Tamaris Borrelly (b.1987). 

Borrowing the title from Shakespeare’s all-time celebrated comedy — in which he took early modern ideas about dreams as a channel to our emotions, desires, and inexplicable passions — both artists use their pictorial creations to explore human’s perception and projection of their surroundings through dreams, memories, digital devices, and other experiences.

加丹纳和伯瑞利同为旅行爱好者，“景观”在两人的创作中都占据着非常重要的位置，但同时又扮演着非常不同的角色。

Landscapes is of great importance in the work of Tamaris Borrelly and Bruno Gadenne, both passionate travellers, but at the same time it plays a very different role in their works. 

对布鲁诺·加丹纳来说，景观是他诠释旅行所见的游乐场。以旅途中用于记录的照片和速写为依据，艺术家通过明暗和色彩的相互作用带给观者一种不可思议的惊奇感，并藉由这份独特的视觉体验使人在真实与虚幻、梦境与现实之间徘徊。在作品《共生》和《男爵》中，艺术家邀请观众在感受画作神秘吸引力的同时，体会那份在看似宁静的场景中潜伏的不安。

To Bruno Gadenne, the landscape is a playground that allows him to manipulate the photos and sketches from his travel encounters, building an uncanny sense of wonder through the interplay of light and color —with this unique visual experience, one is torn between the real and the unreal, between dream and reality. Through “Symbiosis” and “Baron”, the viewers are immersed in these inexplicable appeals while being alerted to the unease that lurks within the seeming tranquility.

在塔玛丽·伯瑞利的作品中，景观不仅是她构建人类、动物和环境之间宏大联系的框架支撑，也是她注入传说、幻想、梦境等解读和转译现实的场景依托。在《最古老的血液》中，伯瑞利以景观汇聚了体现早期文明多样性和共通性的符号和图像；而在《瑟茜》中，艺术家描绘了人类以“降解”的形态与自然和生灵重聚，化为各种元素重新融入世界。

In Tamaris Borrelly’s works, however, the landscape is not only the substructure that she weaves the grand connection among humans, animals, and the environment, but also a space that encompasses the interpretation of reality — visions, legends, fantasies, etc. In “the Oldest Blood”, Borrelly alludes to symbols and images that foreground the diversity and commonality of early civilizations. And in “Circé”, the artist has pictured human biodegradation and our reunion with nature and spirits in diverse elemental forms.

可以说，色彩是两位艺术家展现各自创作风格的核心工具。伯瑞利充分发挥了水彩的梦幻特质，同时注重色彩与层次间的融合与变幻——运用反差色、相近色和精致留白的各种组合，创造出一个由复杂有机体，以及元素的各种形态变化组成的别样世界。加丹纳则从完全不同的角度处理画面中的色彩与明暗，他强调光的渲染和透明层的渐进，形成了明与暗之间令人陶醉的张力。

Color is a crucial instrument for realizing both artist’s landscape-centered creations. Borrelly gives full play to the dreamlike quality of watercolor through her choice of color and approach to layering— the contrast and integration of colors and carefully formed white spaces, creating an other-worldliness composed of intricate organic forms and the diverse metamorphoses of the living world. From a completely different angle, Gadenne’s use of color emphasis the rendering of light and the deepness of transparent layers, resulting in an enchanted tension between light and dark.

加丹纳和伯瑞利都将观众置于他们创作的中心，邀请观众进入围绕“仲夏夜之梦”展开的奇幻世界，探索作品背后引人入胜的故事，用自己的感受和想象去解读它们。

Both Bruno Gadenne and Tamaris Borrelly put the viewer at the heart of their creation, transforming the viewing room into a fantasy land as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” becomes a series of enchanting stories that viewers can only unfold with their imaginations. 

杜梦堂(上海)展览「仲夏夜之梦」的开幕酒会定于7月17日(周六)晚间5时至7时举办。欢迎大家关注这次展览。

The opening reception of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at DUMONTEIL Shanghai is scheduled for Saturday, July 17th from 5 pm to 7 pm. You are more than welcome to visit this exhibition.

关于艺术家

ABOUT THE ARTIST

法国艺术家布鲁诺·加丹纳(Bruno Gadenne, 1990年出生于法国卡瓦永)现工作、生活于巴黎。在波士顿(波塔夫大学茨大学，SMFA)交流学习后，他于2014年毕业于斯特拉斯堡高等艺术学院(Haute École des Arts du Rhin)，师从画家Daniel Schlier。
加丹纳于2014年在斯特拉斯堡迎来了自己的首次个展。此后，他陆续在法国和美国的画廊和艺术中心展出作品。2016年在法国维特里Vitry举办的11月国际绘画奖展览和2017年的巴黎青年艺术家大奖(Icart奖）展览都让人眼前一亮，加丹纳还在2018年获得了Théophile Schuler奖项。2019年，在马西艺术家沙龙驻留后，他在纽约的agnès b.画廊举办了他的第一个在美国的个展。
加丹纳的作品与自然和风景相关，其灵感源自他在世界各地的旅行。他以旅行中的照片和写生为创作基础，通过绘画改变景观的特征，营造一种奇异的氛围。他善用油彩处理光线的渲染和透明层次的深浅创造一种张力，营造一种难以置信的氛围感，宁静中潜藏着异样的情绪，让人游走于现实与奇幻之间。
Bruno Gadenne (b. 1990 in Cavaillon) is an artist who lives and works in Paris.  After studying in Paris and Boston (SMFA), he graduated from HEAR (Haute École des Arts du Rhin) in Strasbourg in 2014, under the mentorship of painter Daniel Schlier.  His first solo show was in Strasbourg in 2014. Since then, his work has been exhibited in galleries and art centers in France and United States. Highlighted by the November International Painting Prize exhibitions in Vitry in 2016 and then that of the Icart Prize 2017, Bruno Gadenne is the winner of the Théophile Schuler Prize in 2018. In 2019, after being the guest of honor at the Salon des Artistes de Massy, he had his first solo show in the United States, at the agnès b. Gallery in the New York City. 
Inspired by his travels around the world, Gadenne’s work relates to landscape and nature. Using oil as a medium, he creates a strangeness by diverting some of the landscape features. He tries to create tension by playing with the rendering of light and the deepness of transparent layers, establishing a double play between wonder and an uncanny feeling. His ambitious intention is to capture the viewer’s attention, to invite the spectator to contemplate while being on the alert of an underlying menace hiding in tranquility.

塔玛丽·伯瑞利(Tamaris Borrelly，1987年生于巴黎)是一位以绘画、动画和装置为创作媒介的法国艺术家，现工作生活于巴黎。她毕业于巴黎国立高等美术学院(École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts)，师从朱塞普-佩诺内(Giuseppe Penone)、安·维罗尼卡·詹森斯(Ann Veronica Janssens)和贾梅尔-塔塔赫(Djamel Tatah), 后在纽约视觉艺术学院进一步学习二维动画影像制作。

她曾参与由佩诺内策展、在拉图雷特修道院展出的驻地展览“沉默”(Silence, 2012)。2013年，伯瑞利在亚洲各地旅行，后曾在印度工作和生活，期间参与了在孟买的艺术家驻留项目，还学习了陶土的制作，尝试将其绘画转化为三维作品。2020年，她为舞蹈家Clémentine Vanlerberghe的作品《Gratia Lacrimarum》创作了场景设计和视频制作。

塔玛丽·伯瑞利的作品围绕由生命构成的世界展开，展现着它的蜕变、它的脆弱性和持久性。景观和梦境是伯瑞利作品的核心。她通过对万物融合的探索，质疑现有的物种体系和生物关联性。正如科学家对普世真理的追寻，伯瑞利则寻求创造一个能够通往别样世界的空间。

Tamaris Borrelly (b. 1987, Paris) is a French artist who mainly works with drawing, animation, and installation. She graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts under the mentorship of Giuseppe Penone, Ann Veronica Janssens and Djamel Tatah, then furthered her study of 2D animated videos at the School of Visual Art in New York. Now she lives and works in Paris. 
Borrelly participated in “Silence”, a residency exhibition curated by Penone at the Convent of La Tourette by Le Corbusier (2012). In 2013, Borrelly travelled in Asia and stayed in India for several months, during which she participated an artist residency in Mumbai. She also experimented with terracotta as a way to mold forms from her drawing into three-dimensional works. In 2020, she created the set design and videos for dancer-choreographer Clémentine Vanlerberghe's creation, Gratia Lacrimarum. 
Tamaris Borrelly’s work revolves around the living world, its metamorphoses, its fragility and its durability. Landscape and dreaming are at the center of Borrelly’s work. She questions the relationships between species and the biological links through her search for the fusion of matter. Like the scientist seeking to contribute to universal knowledge, she seeks to create a space opening onto another world.
