Expositie - Galerie Restaurant de Kamer - 9 januari tot 3 april 2017

Dear Art lover,

From the 9 th of January until April 3rd Geneviève Gougon is exhibiting paintings, drawings and poems in Gallery Restaurant de Kamer in Emmen. Restaurant de Kamer is situated in a stylishly restored Saxon farm dating from 1864. This stylish historic atmosphere is the ideal place to combine good dining with beautiful art. Geneviève Gougon's work often times has an aura of mysticism with a profound message. Get to know her fantasy enriched and colorful paintings, organic pencil/water color drawings and poems. You will get a glimpse of the illusions and realities from life. You are more then welcome to come visit!

From September 13th until the 5th of January you can see my painting Grips of illusion exhibited and available for sale at Odds and Ends in Emmen.

Odds and Ends offers unique gift items including  hand-made items from various artists such as paintings and jewelery.

During the Art Event 2011 form September 10th to September 24th you can admire the works of over 50 professional artists. Several entrepreneurs spread over the town center of Emmen have opened their stores to exhibit the art pieces. 

My paintings are also exhibited during this event at Cartouche women's fashion (Derkstraat 31) and Run2day sports wear (Derkstraat 2).

Both exhibitions are installed according to a theme, respectively  “The power of Grace” en “Start/finish”. Read about the themes in the stores or below.

It's the fifth time this event is organized. Art Event is an initiative of the  Art Event  Ondernemersfonds Emmen Centrum foundation with Gerald Janse as the organisor of this event assisted by artist Ingo Leth. A day of experiencing art; a visit to Emmen center is surely worth your while. 

"The power of grace" at Cartouche women's fashion

The paintings flow with the interior of the stores as if they've always been part of the interior. The pillars are excellent for hanging the smaller painting " women", while the beige wall complements the painting " Winter scape". There was no extra decor needed for the " swans in the reed"  in the store window except for the two reed bundles placed besides the paintings. Reeds and feathers can also be seen as material on the paintings. Graceful in simplicity is in this case the power of grace.

	Above you can see the symbolic loop from start to finish. It goes from the screen to the start sign above it, following the finish sign at the far end. Both signs are framed in an organically formed picture frame to accentuate the contrast.
The interaction between the colors in the clothing and shoes with the paintings emphasize each other.
The sneakerson the right with the finish sign in between are painted in the colors and style of the two exhibited paintings.
