Space Gallery St Barth is delighted to announce an exhibition of paintings by artist Rémy de Haenen.

Rémy de Haenen is a french artist, born in Martinique, which he called home along with St Barth until he was 17 years old. Descendant of a family that arrived in the Islands centuries ago, his childhood was deeply marked and influenced by the cultural diversity, freedom, colors, sea, sky and creatures of the Islands.

Now, Rémy presents “Summer”, at their New York City Gallery from 18 May till 24 June 2023 where the artworks captures those long days at the beach or by the pool, basking in the sun and endless lazy afternoon picnics. Even a swim at golden hour.

The artist also invites the public to the Exhibition Vernissage where he will talk about his recent art, his style and his connection to St Barth. The Vernissage will take place on the first day of the exhibition on Thursday,18 May 2023.
*RSVP till 17 May since space is limited.

THE WORKS

Color is indeed central to this series. Beach scenes and island life are depicted saturated in
block color giving the pieces a Wesselman-esque identity or note of Hockney sometimes appear.
De Haenen uses the centrality of the female body and the advertising aesthetics of Pop Art. That way, the artist express the sensuality of these scenes as relaxed snapshots. They are a gesture of love for his homeland and a longing for the persistence of the Caribbean identity.

“In my works I stick to the idea that color and painting form a language that can speak to the mind, the body and to the hidden magical mysteries of Caribbean souls. Since color is fundamental and it is everywhere when you set a foot in the islands. It has magic (sometimes elusive) and provokes the eye and body as if it were a material substance.”, says Rémy.

Hoewever, the exhibition is also comprised of several sculptures. In his signature style painted on a series of acrylic plates that give the subject matter volume, shape and bring them to life. They are beautiful little gems that celebrate color and nature coming into bloom as summer arrives.

Eberhard & Co. was present at Geneva Watch Week to present the novelties of the latest models released. The event took place at La Maison de L’Horlogerie, from March 27 to April 1, 2023.

THE NOVELTIES

During the Geneva Watch Week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a couple of journalists, who came to visit the exhibition and see the brand’s latest news.

SCAFOGRAF MCMLIX 300 – The contemporary version of SCAFOGRAF 300 was launched in 2016. In the same year received the Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Genève award for the best sports watch of the year.

Traversetolo – From its very beginnings, Traversetolo was an immediate success, which endures to this day. It is one of the best-selling models of the house: animated by a hand-wound movement, which was created in the 1950s for pocket watches and perfected over time.

8 Jours Grande Taille – The 8 Jours was born from an intuition based on the technology used in the past in pocket watches. Equipped with hand-wound movements, they could keep working for several days without losing accuracy. The same classic lines were also maintained in its later, more generously encased version: the Grande Taille, with a diameter of 41 mm. The dials are inspired by tradition, with the power reserve displayed by a scale at 9 o’clock.

ABOUT THE BRAND – EBERHARD & CO.

Eberhard & Co. watches boast over a century of research and passion. Since 1887 the Swiss brand has been synonymous with excellence and innovation. Which are represented in precious timepieces with high technical content that have marked important stages.
