John Franklin Koenig "Waiting for OTA 1, 1961" oli on canvas 80x90cm.


John-Franklin Koenig was an international artist, better known in Europe and Japan than in his native country. Born in Seattle in 1924, he grew up in the Wallingford neighborhood and became interested in art at a young age — particularly the Asian art he found at the Seattle Art Museum. Koenig was drafted into the army in 1943 and fought in Europe until the end of the war. Waiting to return to the U.S., he took a course at the university for American soldiers in Biarritz and fell in love with France and French. Returning to the U.S. after the war, Koenig enrolled at the UW where he studied French and French literature. He studied design and art during that period as well, and discovered the Seattle art scene of Toby, Graves, and Anderson. On finishing his degree in 1948, John moved to Paris, where he would live for the following 30 years. (From 1980 on he spent part of each year in Seattle in his Captial Hill home — a former Hare Krishna temple.) In Paris, he began working on collages and later paintings, inspired by European artists and also by Oriental works he saw on nearly a dozen trips to Japan. Along with Jean-Marc Arnaud, he opened the Galerie Arnaud in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris. In 1986, John Koenig received the Gold Medal of the City of Paris and was later made a Commander of the French Order of Arts and Letters. In 1989, the Paris Arts Center held a retrospective of his work. His paintings and collages have been shown in nearly 150 solo exhibitions around the world and are part of collections in a number of international museums: e.g., the Musè d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Musè National d’Art Modern (Paris); the National Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Western Art (Tokyo); the Musè des Beaux-Arts and Musè d’Art Contemporain (Montreal); the Musè de L’état (Luxembourg); and the Seattle Art Museum.

Corinne Laroche

Corinne Laroche "Sans titre" olieverf op doek 190x180cm.

Sinds 2007 ontwikkelt Corinne Laroche (geboren in 1957 in Toulon) een tekening waarin een raster de basisstructuur, het referentiepunt en de horizon vormt. Min of meer zichtbaar aan de oppervlakte, maar daarom niet minder aanwezig, maakt dit raster de intensieve en uitgebreide inzet van een eenvoudig gebaar mogelijk, in de orde van krabbelen. Dit protocol, eenmaal vastgesteld, ontwijkt vragen over compositorische keuze en technieken en bevoordeelt de intuïtieve benadering, net zoals muzikale improvisatie gebaseerd is op een onzichtbare partituur.
Corinne Laroche is afgestudeerd aan de École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Parijs. Haar werk is opgenomen in de collecties van het Kupferstichkabinett Staatliche Museen zu Berlin en de Neuer Berliner Kunstverein. Ze exposeerde onder andere in Galerie Edouard Manet, Gennevilliers (2000) en de Galerie du quai - École des beaux-arts in Toulouse (2002). In 2008 ontving Corinne Laroche de Prijs van de stad Saint-Ouen en exposeerde ze in het Château de Saint-Ouen, Motherland I (2009). Tot haar recente groepstentoonstellingen behoren System und Sinnlichkeit in het Kupferstichkabinett Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlijn (2013), An Exchange met Sol LeWitt in Cabinet, New York en MASS MoCA, North Adams (2011), tour d'horizon met hedendaagse tekeningen van fruehsorge in Berlijn (2009), Anschlüssel London Berlin, in het Centre for Recent Drawing in Londen, Drawing room in Zürich met Galerie Bernard Jordan (2011) en Correspondances , met Martin Barré en James Brooks in Galerie Laurent Mueller (2012).
