CharlElie Exhibition opens at French Embassy in Washington

French artist CharlElie
"PARIS IS a city for people who live in the past. You are classified. You are in a drawer and can't get out," says French artist CharlElie, who moved to New York about five years ago, and whose exhibition "Shower Curtains & Photos-Grafs" opened on Thursday night, April 9, at the French Embassy in Washington.
FOR THE LAST 25 years, CharlElie, a well-regarded artist with an international reputation, has presented photographs, paintings and sculptures throughout the United States, France, Belgium and Switzerland.
He was born in 1956 in Nancy, France, and is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts.
CHARLELIE IS a longstanding figure in the multidisciplinary "multist" art movement, and his work encompasses numerous paintings-, drawing- and photography exhibitions, 23 albums of songs, several published essays and many concert tours in France and abroad. In his career, CharlElie has fashioned a prodigious body of work devoted to the synenergy of creation. Each imaginative journey is an incentive to embrace the new, whether in the form of questions, images, or sounds that can provide the stimuli for fresh literary creations. CharlElie's complex artistry, infused with light, shade and mystery, is in many ways a counterpart to the "inner landscapes" he conjures in his quest of the absolute.
"PAINTING IS an open window on the invisible," says the artist.
THE EXHIBITION runs from April 9 - 27, 2009. It will be open to the public by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and during La Maison Française events. La Maison Française is a part of the French Embassy located at 4101 Reservoir Road, N.W. in Washington, telephone (202) 944-6091.
