The Duo Tea Sacculos exhibition at Espace H2O presents the recent works of Thierry Harpes and Jo Malano, inviting the public into a realm of pure fiction brought to life. Through symbolism and natural motifs, their dynamic dialogue reveals both shared influences and distinct styles, captivating visitors in an immersive artistic journey.
Thierry Harpes (born in 1991) studied fine arts under professors Robert Lucander and Mark Sadler at the University of the Arts in Berlin. Painting, sculpture, and installation are the main axes of his artistic practice, resulting from an iterative interaction. The layers of paint in his works can be called literal forms, blending or completely erasing the boundaries between drawing, painting, and sculpture. In this process-oriented composition, Thierry Harpes also incorporates concrete figures and signs, his own lexicon. These sections humorously and absurdly overturn the emphasis on material abstraction, opening another level of thematic association.
Jo Malano's pieces, known for their distinct use of natural motifs mixed with abstract elements, unfold into vibrant interior worlds. Across murals, paintings, and various media, Malano unites contrasts into a cohesive whole. His technique, from fine, filigree lines to broad, vivid strokes, paints him as both artisan and creator, connecting him to a lineage of historical painters. From blossoming walls reminiscent of the French Douanier to wilder abstractions, his influences range widely; keen observers might spot the influence of a famed 19th-century Japanese woodcarver. His work, both deeply personal and universally inviting, feels like an exotic garden open to all.
