Gallery Bienvenu Presents New Paintings featuring Jim Napierala and Arturo Mallman
August 2, 2008 - September 26, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Location: Gallery Bienvenu, 518 Julia Street
Phone: (504) 525 - 0518
Mesmerizing and complex, the process-intensive paintings of New York City-based artist Jim Napierala superimpose the gestural freedom of Abstract Expressionism atop the rigor of the modernist grid. The paintings are the end result of a working method developed by the artist in 2000 and constantly evolved and adjusted since that time. Methodically taping off sections of a maple plywood panel, Napierala slices into the tape with a blade, creating curvaceous, biomorphic forms with a spontaneity reminiscent of Dadaist automatic drawing. Arturo Mallmann’s luminous paintings follow in this tradition, inviting us into landscapes that are half-geographic, half-psychological, and wholly immersive. Born in Uruguay, Mallmann has led a richly colorful life, residing and traveling throughout South America, Europe, and North America, and within these far-flung adventures lie the aesthetic and experiential influences that inform his haunting work. With acrylics, resin, and varnish, the artist layers and sands coat after coat of materials in a process that, like nature itself, is by turns additive and substractive. His austere compositions are often coalesce around the eternal motif of the horizon line, harkening to our primal human capacity for awe.

The Last Mistress by Catherine Breillat
August 12, 2008 - August 21, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 9:00 pm
Location: Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center, 1618 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.
Phone: (504) 827-5858
THE LAST MISTRESS marks the monumental pairing of cinema's premiere provocateur, director Catherine Breillat (ROMANCE, FAT GIRL, ANATOMY OF HELL) with the most fearless and explosive actress of our generation, Asia Argento (MARIE ANTOINETTE, BOARDING GATE, MOTHER OF TEARS, THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, TRANSYLVANIA, etc.). A penniless rogue, Ryno de Marigny (newcomer Fu-ad Ait Aattou), shocks 19th century France with his engagement to the virginal gem of the aristocracy, Hermangarde (Roxane Mesquida of FAT GIRL). As lurid speculations of Ryno's ten year affair with the carnal Vellini (Argento) manifest, a supremely erotic and wickedly humorous depiction of human lust is revealed - overriding the brittle facade of nobility and reverence. Bolstered by Breillat's mastery of the medium and Argento's commanding performance, THE LAST MISTRESS is a highly entertaining yet incredibly provocative film that has resulted in unanimous praise from audiences and critics across the world. Sponsored by the NEW ORLEANS CONSULATE DE FRANCE.
