New York, NY - Nicolas Auvray Gallery is thrilled to present the highly anticipated solo exhibition of French artist Ayline Olukman at our Chelsea Gallery. The exhibition, titled "Idyll", showcases an exceptional and expansive collection of over 30 new paintings created in 2023 and 2024. In an exploration of the relationship between human and nature, Olukman's new work takes us on a rediscovery of blue seas and lush forests, prompting us to ponder the beauty of our environment as a space of life and the place of humans within it.
Olukman integrates the mediums of photography and painting, layering oil glazes onto paper to create her trademark colors.

CLEMENT DENIS
Clément Denis investigates the barriers of communication at the crossroads of the human condition, utilizing various materials including mosaic and painting in his work. His anthropological investigations result in a series of portraits of individuals that he invites to feel a shared state of uncertainty and confusion. Emotions that are a prerequisite to the act of painting for him.
For the past ten years, Denis has engaged with figments of memory and explored the body as a site of consciousness in his painting practice. Over time his works have evolved from dark and rich tableaus to more expansive works with sinuous lines and a bright, acidulated palette. In 2021, the lockdown due to pandemic led him to Noirmoutier where a premonitory dream inspired him a new series – “The river song”. In it he saw an island and his family home engulfed by water, with only the treetops and the roof emerged. His work ponders over the affect of relentless climate change and its consequences on nature, as well as man’s initiatory path faced with an impending unavoidable calamity.

CAT SIROT - LIBERTE
Smooth like porcelain, her hair recalling Lady Liberty, the Doll stands in front of us like our own innocence and individuality. She represents our inner being and our pure immaculate side. She asks us to accept what is bound to happen, represented by the Cherry. The stem, replaced by a grenade handle facing the visitor, tells us of the possibilities offered to us if we choose to take the risk of the action.
