"Art in a Valise" plays with the concept of creating art for transport, touching on ideas of the globalization of the art world along with ways we consider space in our creative process. Each piece of work is a variation on how to play with size and compatibility of objects in each artist’s distinct style. Beyond the idea of simply creating a show of work that is transportable and expands the idea of how different forms of art may be created, molded and transported we are connecting this concept to the purpose of the group themselves, which is to form international collaborations with other groups of artists internationally. L'Escargot Noir hopes to evolve this concept and invite collaborating artists to take part in upcoming shows in Paris and/or Mexico City. details Alexandre Aucomte has increased his artistic language through a multitude of exploration and experimentation, which gives a delicate attractive sense to his work. Indeed, the purpose is to feed the world bits and pieces--mixed objects--and mutant animals, amateur video and surrealist drawings used to justify the pathetic and nonsensical nature of the subject matter.
Jacqueline Bresson is a painter who works predominantly with watercolors. She plays with color and lines to explore space, dimensions and ask questions about the meaning of infinity and the limits in our lives.
Nicolas Cordier is an illustrator and designer who likes to ridicule famous characters, objects or pictures and show their surrealist aspects. He doesn’t like to take himself and his art too seriously and prefers playing with humor and derision with the characters he creates to give them his most absurd view of life.
Throughout the course of various experiences, Katia Favodon has taken a keen interest in childhood tales and wonder, beyond worlds that seem poetic, delicious and magical at first sight. She prefers to focus on something more disquieting, on something thornier, darker. This sentiment is an abiding feature of her work.
Jessica Lopez is a French Visual Artist and Graphic Designer, mainly working with photography, video and sound Installation/Performance. Her artistic statements question the relationship we have to the object, involving distance and intimacy, collectibles as units of a mass and very personal and private objects.
Claire Wijbick is currently working as an illustrator in the music field (posters, sleeves…). She is also a comic book author and cartoonist. Her art world is both surrealist and alternative with a strong influence from the rock music scene. In her comics she creates strange characters playing with the absurd and tragic.
