YZ

Galerie Magda Danysz, Paris

Yz is an atypical artist in the French contemporary art scene. Using painting or chinese ink, with brushes, paintrolls, stencils or spray-cans, her art uses different methods to create homogenous work. In this exhibition, she offers variations with her stencils on a multidude of various materials, pieces on canvas, original creations on urban zinc and huge wood installations.

YZ paints without tricks. She develops an intimist universe made of women portraits from another time, angels with sculpted forms and urban landscapes. Around her series "Women from another century", "Angels" and "Lost in the city" the exhibition highlights her unique style which combines her drawing sensitivity and her subtle gradations from black to white with many layers to create intense depth. YZ sets her universe in sepia tones, which seems to be faded by the time. Women as Angels she paints released a deep sensuality.

Alternately, dreamy, languorous, provocative, the large feminine portraits come together side by side next to her "buildings portraits". A balance appears between her classic iconographic approach and the strong influence of urbanity - especially by using materials from the street. Then we attend to a new aesthetic emergence, eternal and modern. YZ calls out to our mind about the place of humans in the city.With a huge exigence, YZ proceeds troughout large broad-spectrum projects by counting on her instinct. Intimist and small-size creations or high breadth installations, the artist poetic atmosphere between human and urban surrounds the gallery in its entirety for this exhibition.
