Two exhibitions

Haim Chanin Fine Arts - New Location, New York

New works by Vicky Colombet and photographs by Jean-Michel Fauquet

It is a great pleasure to announce the reopening of Haim Chanin Fine Arts in its new location at 121 W 19 St, 10th Floor, on Saturday, November 11, 2006, 11 am - 6 pm. The gallery will reopen with a preview of its two upcoming exhibitions, featuring new works by Vicky Colombet and photographs by Jean-Michel Fauquet.

Dominique Haim Chanin opened Haim Chanin Fine Arts at 210 Eleventh Avenue in Chelsea in 2001. After more than five years in this location, she decided to leave West Chelsea to find a space that would better accommodate her vision.

The new space, conceived by French architect Marie-France de Saint Felix, is a spacious loft on the 10th Floor of a recently converted commercial building. Far from the regular white box, the new gallery, almost equivalent in square footage, with natural light and stunning views of South Manhattan will offer a more intimate and personal approach to art and a place for dialogue, exchange and experiment for the collectors, artists and art lovers alike.

For its inaugural reopening, the gallery will present works by Vicky Colombet and Jean-Michel Fauquet. About her work, Vicky Colombet writes: “Instead of simply reproducing the landscape's forms and patterns, what interests me are the technical means with which I can capture the movement of natural formations. The results are ‘view-paintings’ with an uncertain scale - microscopic or macroscopic - a magnified particle, a planetary landscape seen from above." Born in Paris, Colombet has had numerous exhibitions in Europe and the United States, and her first solo exhibition in New York at Haim Chanin Fine Arts in 2004. In 2001, she received an award from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation. Her works is represented in important collections among which the prestigious collections of Ms. Agnes Gund, New York and the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, Florida. She currently lives and works in New York. For the inaugural exhibition, Vicky Colombet will show recent oil on canvas and present for the first time her new digital works on vellum.

At once sculptor, “metteur en sce'ne" or choreographer, photographer and painter, Jean-Michel Fauquet creates imaginary objects in cardboard, which he paints, stages, and photographs; he then works each print with black paint and graphite to create a unique world. His intriguing objects, landscapes and portraits seem part of our everyday lives until one looks more carefully and realizes all is invented.

Born in 1950, Fauquet lives and works in Paris. His work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in the prestigious collections of Francois Pinault, France, the Muse'e National d’Art Moderne, Paris, Bibliothe'que Nationale de France, Paris, among others. For the opening of the new gallery, the artist will present very large-scale photographs from his new series: “MTP: Balthazar’s Feast" including portraits, still lives and landscapes.

Conveniently located in the heart of the city, between the Flat Iron District, West Chelsea and Union Square, at 121 W 19 St, between 6th and 7th Avenues, Haim Chanin Fine Arts is now easily accessible by subways (V/F to 23rd St, 1,3 to 18th St). Haim Chanin Fine Arts is committed to bringing established and renowned artists from Europe and Latin America to New York.
