Jean-Pierre Sergent, SOLO ART EXHIBITION OF WORKS ON PAPER 'EROS REGENERATING LIFE' AILLEURS ARTS MUSEUM | SHENYANG | CHINA 13 July 2019 / 15 September 2019

EROS REGENERATING LIFE

A mysterious artist, wanting to talk about nothing but art, he has travelled and exhibited in Europe and America, lived and worked in New York and has now chosen to return to France to live in his country of origin. At sixty, he has explored the energy of the universe and life by immersing himself in the living world of sex and beauty. In his "Theogonies" Hesiod speaks of Eros promoting the birth and regeneration of life through love through the gods who infuse each of us with erotic and sexual desire. This original life force is there, creating from birth a new life in the universe and embodying all the natural forces to create the human being. Jean-Pierre SERGENT fully uses his work to awaken this god Eros by inspiring us, as a demiurge, a strong desire to live and love! Largely inspired by ancient Egyptian, Aztec, Mayan civilizations and shamanic practices, he invents a new magical language that transcends time and space, possessing a rebellious and anarchic impulse that surpasses what was unique to Pop Art. Eros, which had given a new face to pop culture, explodes formally and violently here, in his work on paper thanks to his very particular silkscreen technique. The artist's creative force unfolds through his unique expressive language creating a new magical charm that de facto surpasses culturally formatted desires. It describes the social and spiritual connections of First Nations peoples, nature, death, desire, power and these apparently simple painted things transcend all rituals, religions and cultures. Paying homage to art, from Lascaux murals to Picasso's last erotic works, it is an ode to pure beauty! This personal exhibition by Jean-Pierre SERGENT presents about sixty works on paper and is to date his largest personal exhibition in China. 

Let us therefore discover the mysteries revealed by eroticism in his works, where the artist gives back to the God Eros, his full power of the God of desire. During this inspiring summer, the Ailleurs Arts Museum invites you to come and discover this magnificent exhibition: EROS REGENERATING LIFE.
