From 8 to 24 September and from 18 October to 5 November 2016, Triple V gallery presents "Babyliss", an exhibition of Servane Mary.

 

‘‘Babyliss,” the second personal exhibition of Servane Mary at Triple V gallery, will be an occasion for the artist to present an ensemble of new works: photographs of women riding motorbikes blown up in size and then printed on metal.

 

The work is set in pleats, hence the title referring to the famous curling iron which was a sensation in the 1980s.

 

The structures ripple in steel or copper that serve as the photo’s support; through this passage into the three dimensions, they suggest a “reverse-side” of the image, and the possibility to access its other side or depth.

 

These new works are inscribed into the continuity of recent work from Servane Mary in which the artist transfers found photos (principally portraits of women from 1940 to 1970) onto unexpected materials with unusual printing techniques. 

 

We can experience the original significance of this imagery as well as our own perception of these images today.

 

Servane Mary was born in 1971. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. A catalogue will accompany the exhibition in September 2016.

 

 

 

On 4th February 2016, Galerie Triple V inaugurated its second exhibition space on 5, rue du Mail, in the second arrondissement of Paris close to Place des Victoires.

 

Made up of a vast hall of 30m long and 13m wide, a total surface area of 500m2 with a ceiling height of 4m, this new exhibition space finds itself in an old fabric factory, and preserves the industrial aspect.

 

It is in this highly creative area that the gallery can bring its resolutely contemporary touch to a privileged space which also sees the instalment of its first contemporary art gallery.

 

Galerie Triple V has been working since 2007 to present both French and international contemporary artists from various generations and aesthetic horizons to abstract, conceptual, pop and minimalist approaches.

 

Developed in partnership with art dealer Laurent Strouk, this new space will allow Galerie Triple V to take its support and collection of artists to a higher level, enriched by the arrival of two new artists: Alex Brown and Lauren Montaron
