Laurent Montaron

Laurent Montaron was born in 1972 in Verneuilsur-Avre, he lives and works in Paris.

Laurent Montaron frequently draws inspiration from the recent history of technologies, expressing in his work, in a suggestive and fascinating way, different means by which these technical inventions renew our perception and our understanding of the world, in playing with different mediums of recording reality, and these distortions or filters that they generate. 

His work questions the tools that shape our representations. By revealing the sometimes irrational element of belief involved with emerging techniques ; his work remind us that while technology has provided us with new means of perceiving and representing reality it has not necessarily brought us closer from ‘the truth’ for it has also given rise to new ways for questioning paradoxes attendant on our awareness of modernity.

Laurent Montaron’s work homes in on the paradoxes attendant on our awareness of modernity, and simultaneously on the tools that shape our representations, revealing the sometimes irrational element of belief involved.

Andrzej Wełminski

Andrzej Wełmiński was born in Krakow in 1952 and studied in the Graphics Faculty of the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 1977.

He works as a fine art painter and the installation artist, director, stage designer and performer.

Andrzej Wełmiński’s works intimately reflect the artist’s approach towards history, philosophy and creativity. Having lived and worked in Poland, since 1973 as a member of Tadeusz Kantor’s Cricot 2 Theatre company and in close relationship with the Foksal Gallery, Welminski continues to make pictures and to direct student groups in the ways and methods of the Cricot 2 Theatre.

His works address the history of his native country, particularly in relation to the censorship and devastation inflicted on its people and culture by the Nazi and Soviet occupation regimes. In the process of addressing these particular aspects, however, Wełmiński’s art evokes universal themes about life and death, entrapment and escape, and our own interface between individual and the collective history.

His works were performed and exhibited by several major institutions across Europe and overseas, from Sao Paolo through Tehran.

Paolo Olbi

We produce gift articles in leather and 'marmorata' paper, as clipboards, phone rubricas, photo albums, table services, photo frames, notebooks, conference folders, cards with hand-printed 'capolettera'. Every piece we create is unique, made by following a careful, traditional crafting.

We create our articles by following the same methods and materials of an old tradition, with a bit of geniality. For our most special artistic book-bindings, we are supported by artistic marble, glass, silver crafters.

We mainly work by-hand, helped by some antique machines, like first 1900's typographical presses, or trances for the press to warmth on leather.

In 1975 we started a new production for our environment, the production of artisting book-binding articles, experimenting new links between the typical craftings of Venice, and the traditional book-binding. We created, in this way, artistic objects never seen before in their kind, that today are often imitated, also by using modern or industrial tools.
