DANIEL AIRAM & DAMIEN HIRST IN GENEVA

Daniel Airam is a French artist born in Lyon in 1958. After studying graphic arts in Lyon, he started working in printing. Since 1982, he is committed to painting. In the vertigo of a world where everything is wavering, where there is no longer a reliable model, will the image still oppose its capacity to dazzle, its power to be, to finally exist as it conceives itself ?

​"This is the basis of my work. Parietal art, this so-called cave art, remains in my eyes the strongest encounter. Perhaps by the silence that envelops it, the one that makes any explanation impossible. See, watch, observe and admire." Daniel Airam

Damien Hirst is a British artist (sculptor, engraver and painter). He was born in 1965. He is the leader of the Young British Artists movement, created in the late 80's. He is famous for his cows preserved in formaldehyde. He makes "art" with almost anything : cigarette butts, painting, video... Damien Hirst reflects on the degeneration and death. His recent works talk about fears about health, genetic manipulation and old age... The artist and his work exert on the viewer a fascination close to the exhibition of freaks of nature in fairs.
