A few days ago I had an e-mail from Gilles Perrin about his work in two shows in Paris, Children of the world at the Commercial stock exchange, 2 rue Viarme 75001 Paris from October 29 to November 12, 2008, and Recent works: Africa, Asia… at bâtiment des Douches, 5 rue Legouve, 75010 Paris October 17 to November 28, 2008.
I was very impressed by Perrin’s work from Tibet and Africa when I met Gilles and Nicole in Birmingham last year. You can see more of his work on at the art-Contemporain site, and in particular his work from Ireland, THE MEN OF THE SEA, which has text in English as well as French.
The web site is easier if you read a little French, but otherwise, chose A l’affiche then click the red triangle to the right of «Les hommes de la mer», Irlande, 2007/2008. On the page that appears are links (red triangles) to the portraits from Cork and also “diptyques et triptyques” and on these pages you can click on the red rectangles to see the pictures larger.
You can also read (in French) a PDF file about his work from March to September this year in Conflans Sainte Honorine, a historic town in the northwest suburbs of Paris around 15 miles from the city centre, where the River Oise runs into the River Seine. I’m not sure what it says about the town that it is twinned with Ramsgate.
You can find pictures from other exhibitions by going through the expositions link.
