In AEC Interesni Kazki‘s first solo show in France, the surrealist painter offers both new, stirring works and previous pieces with “Déjà vu & Jamais vu,” or “already seen and never seen.” Running through Dec. 26, the show opens Friday at the Paris-based venue Adda & Taxie. The artist was last mentioned on our site here.
The artist explains the name of the show: “‘Deja vu’ is something when you feel that have seen but dont remember when, maybe it came from subconcious or forgotten memories of the childhood or comes from another dimensions of the Universe or from the past life. And ‘Jamais vu’ is something opposite to ‘Deja vu’ – what is never seen, what is impossible to imagine, probably it is the future or something behind human lifes and imagination …. I am going to represent several new pieces which are done in different techniques- acrylic painting and ink drawing on canvases and several pieces in watercolors and gouache on paper. Also will be represented several acrylic paintings and ink drawings from my past exhibition The Earth Is Flat which happened last January … So, by the irony I am going to show new pieсes which are ‘Jamais vu’ in this context and pieces already shown before – ‘Deja vu,’ but anyway both of them will be ‘Jamais vu’ for the French viewer.”

Dave Pollot revitalizes thrift store paintings with surreal or pop culture-centered flourishes. The artist recently painted giant banana duct taped to an existing mountainous backdrop for a piece auctioned for charity. The reason: Pollot says these conversations “can happen while people have little or nothing to eat."
