I will take part to the group show « Le Cabaret Organique ».,in Paris, May 2012, with the Nyctalopes an artistic resistance collective, . The show will start from the 15 May to 6 June. » Le Cabaret Organique » is convulsive, lethal, sacred, ecstatic, furious, ghostly, stuffed, bounded – as many bodies as there are art works from around forty living artists gathered by Nyctalopes in the Passage Choiseul, Paris. Artists included are : Ray Caesar, Sunny Buick, Lydia Lunch,C215, Nobuyoshi Araki, Joel Peter Witkin, Paola hivelin, Bey Karin, Anxiogène Bennacer, Mark O’Sullivan, Jan Saudek, Ciou, Burlesque queen : julie Atlas Muz, zoe kill kill Pussycat, Lalla Morte , Juliette Dragon, louise Deville, Velocity chyaldd …..

For this first edition, the Nyctalopes summon the original body, confronted in the most absolute manner to its organic nature. Painters, performers, illustrators, writers, photographs, dancers, musicians, street and multimedia artists, film makers, designers present the female body in the luminescent alcôves of an urban and primitive beehive: first the Flesh, Sex, Death then the Spirit, Time, the Virtual. The Nyctalopes compose and give life, of all these united creations, to a Female Golem.

I will exhibit my artworks but also do a Live a painting in a Special Box building for the event. I will do the Live painting during 3 saturdays, 19 may, 26 may and 2 june : more info here : NYCTALOPES

Ciou in Hi-Fructose art blog, text by Kirsten Anderson, USA

ciou — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:54:26 +0000

French artist Ciou creates mixed media works on paper and canvas featuring her own « necro-kawaii » cosmology of characters mainly centered around witch-y nature girls and their animal companions. Her darkly charming works are creepy in a very playful way, reminiscent of the drawings the cool, bad girls would do in high school on their notebooks in between sneaking out to smoke clove cigarettes behind the school. Her new works feature florescent psychedelic colors as a foil for her obsessive black line work.- Kirsten Anderson

Morphik, brand from California and Ciou

ciou — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:13:08 +0000

MORPHIK is a new and novel art-to-wear concept. Inventing jewelry that combines both authentic artwork and rich, relevant fashion fabrications, the pieces present an innovative outlet for expression. The brainchild of enthusiast, Christopher O’Byrne, the goal of Morphik is to create a continual connection between individuals and contemporary art by delivering fashion accessories that bring original artwork to the forefront.

Morphik’s signature offering is a group of unisex bracelets featuring authentic images of interchangeable artworks. Printed on genuine fine art paper and placed under a scratch resistant cover these renderings are set securely inside stainless steel frames, which are then dropped and locked magnetically into the branded wristbands. Band options include a variety of luxury skins in stylish colors, including Patent Leather, Vintage Cow, Natural Python and more.

Recognizing that art is subjective, the interchangeable artwork selection spans classifications ranging from Painting to Graffiti, Photography to Street Art and more. A convenient build-a-band tool on the company website allows customers to mix and match bands and artworks before ultimately selecting a combination for purchase. Each bracelet arrives in a beautiful window-front box for display. The artwork comes in a separate box in which it locks onto a chrome pedestal. The box then transforms into a frame, which can be hung on the wall as a work of art.

Morphik’s global artist network is the result of years of contacting, cultivating and curating. It includes talent from Japan, China, the United States, France, Germany, Brazil and beyond. Each conveys an individual visual language that represents the diverse trends happening in contemporary art practice. Morphik works with each individual artist to ensure that the integrity and distinctive attributes of their original artwork are fully captured and delivered.

Doing its part to keep the enthusiasm alive, Morphik donates a percentage of profits to affiliate art organizations as selected by the artists themselves. “By buying a Morphik product, our customers help support and bring awareness to the benefits and vitality the arts have to offer people of all ages and backgrounds,” explains O’Byrne. A few choice charities with which Morphik is involved include « Make Something » www.makesomethingschool.com/info and Harmony Project www.harmony-project.org/.

All Morphik products are designed and assembled in Los Angeles, California. Bands and artworks can be sold together or separately at www.morphik.com as well as select boutiques worldwide. Sets can be purchased at retail for $160.
