accrochage «Struggle(s)» avril - juin 2012
Jane Hammond, born in 1950 in the USA, lives and works in New York.
Throughout her career Hammond has made works on paper, sculpture, prints and paintings. Her work reflects her fascination with collecting, sorting, and memory; the technique of collage is often included, no matter which medium she uses. Her creations are always handmade, usually laboriously, in a way that draws attention to details – of craftsmanship, of texture and weight, of visual expression, and of composition.

accrochage «Lightness?» january - march 2012
Jacob Hashimoto was born in 1973 in the USA. He lives and works between New York and Verona, Italy.
Hashimoto redefines Japanese screen painting using the traditional kite-making techniques and forms to construct his three dimensional wall compositions. His artwork embodies a long time fascination with the intersections of painting and sculpture, abstraction and landscape.
Existing as neither sculpture nor painting, Hashimoto's compositions delicately float before the eye, entrancing the viewer with their continuously shifting illusion of light, space and motion.

accrochage «Voyages Intérieurs» april - june 2013
Born in 1984 in The Netherlands. Lives and works in Amsterdam.
Designer Pepe Heykoop founded his studio after graduating from the Design Academy of Eindhoven. His interests lie in the relationship between art and design. Central to his practice is the use of recycled materials, such as leftover wood, scraps of leather and rejected skins faded by sunlight or with too many damages. Heykoop tries to bring up the beauty of all these materials; at the same time he expresses concern with the enormous amount of waste in all types of production processes.

accrochage «Origine(s)» may - june 2011
Gregor Hildebrandt, born in Bad Homburg in 1974, lives and works in Berlin.
He is a young, conceptually oriented artist. From a painting background, he developed his artistic concept over several years and has found his way to his own unmistakeable form.
A certain nostalgia is undeniably intrinsic to his works; the digital era has long since but paid to the music cassette as a sound-storage medium. Therefore it requires no great leap of logic to assume that the artist’s material might one day become scarce. To date, though, this has not yet occurred. Over the years, in addition to the canvas works, Hildebrandt has created new groups of works
– objects, drawings and sculptures – that continually expand the range of his œuvre.

accrochage «Lightness?» january - march 2012
Philippe Hiquily was born in 1925 in France.
As a sculptor, his works are characterized by a pervasive eroticism and take as departure the human (mostly female) body that the artist sometimes fills with elements borrowed from nature. The use of metal – iron, steel, brass, aluminium – is inseparable from his style and the ‘métal direct’ technique is linked to his name.
In 1960 Hiquily turned his attention to making furniture from his favorite material. His furniture is actually an extension of his work in sculpture. They are technically challenging, beautifully crafted and carry with them all of the artist’s sculptural preoccupations and enthusiasms.

accrochage «Rouge» september - december 2012
Born in 1965 in England. Lives and works in Devon and London.
Since the late 1980’s, Damien Hirst has used varied practices - installation, sculpture, painting and drawing - to explore the complex relationship between art, science, life and death. His work investigates and challenges contemporary belief systems, and dissects the tensions and uncertainties at the heart of human experience through unexpected and unconventional media.
In 1991 Hirst began his famous series Natural History. Through preserving creatures - like a shark or a cow - in minimalist steel and glass tanks filled with formaldehyde solution, he intended to create a «zoo of dead animals.» Hirst uses the tools and iconography of science and religion, creating pieces whose intensity offer the viewer insight into art that transcends our familiar understanding of those domains.

Born in 1975 in the USA. Lives and works in New York.
Alex Hubbard values the materiality and tactility at each stages of the creation process of his paintings and videos, rather than deriving satisfaction from their finished resolution. He adopts a cross-media strategy, making films as a painter and painting as a sculptor. His artworks explore the construction, composition, mass, color and depth of images in unexpected ways. Hubbard’s videos, often described as ‘moving paintings’, surround the viewers with bold colors, performative gestures, and evolving compositions. Building and art materials, urban detritus, and domestic items make their way into his creations.
