A pictorial journey through spaces and thoughts<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Zaz\u00e0 Ramen sake bar & restaurant, in collaboration with the APALAZZOGALLERY in Brescia, presents “Intercity” by the French-Italian artist Nathalie Du Pasquier<\/strong> (1957, Bordeaux). This work, commissioned by the owner and collector Brendan Becht specifically for the restaurant’s spaces, consists of a site-specific wall painting that stretches along the wall of the main dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Du Pasquier, who has lived and worked in Italy since 1979 and has her studio near Zaz\u00e0 Ramen, was involved thanks to a series of fortunate coincidences. Invited by friends and her Brescia gallerist Francesca Migliorati of APALAZZOGALLERY, the artist created a painting titled “Intercity” that extends across two of the restaurant’s walls, representing an abstract landscape seen from the window of a speeding train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Intercity” connects the various places crossed by the owner Becht and the different origins of the artists invited to contribute to Zaz\u00e0 Ramen. “I think a restaurant, as tradition dictates, is an excellent place to view paintings, and in this case, the ephemeral presence of these wall paintings makes them somehow more interesting; in six months they will be gone forever,” says Du Pasquier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathalie Du Pasquier’s intervention is enriched by a critical text by Irene Sofia Comi<\/strong>, which further explores the nuances of the work and its context within the restaurant. Comi writes: “It could be said that every work for Nathalie Du Pasquier is related to painting. The artist has painted every day in her studio since 1987. In ‘Intercity’, the walls and other architectural elements of the space are treated as if they were canvases that, when combined, form a single large structure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And continues: “The project conceived by the artist is an environmental work, where the real space merges with the representational space of the work. This environmental dimension, besides engaging with the tradition of wall painting, can be related to other works created by the artist. The brushstrokes that form the central band of ‘Intercity’ are enclosed in a thick, black-framed rectangle that seems to mimic the function of a frame. Although these elements seem vaguely recognisable to us, they are ‘nonexistent things’ for the artist.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathalie Du Pasquier’s “Intercity” represents a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a dynamic and abstract landscape, the result of the artistic vision of a creator who has intertwined her personal history with the places and people crossing her creative path. A work that, despite its ephemeral nature, leaves an indelible mark on the memory of those who observe it. “‘Intercity’ is a collection of elements that creates associations, a project consistent with the artist’s sensitivity. The intervention makes Zaz\u00e0’s space both real and suspended, plausible and abstract. It is organised and geometric, yet warmly familiar. It is playful and moody… just like ‘following thoughts’.” \u2013 Comi concludes by quoting the artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

Zaz\u00e0 Ramen<\/strong><\/a> sake bar & restaurant, in collaborazione con la galleria APALAZZOGALLERY di Brescia, presenta \"Intercity\" dell\u2019artista franco-italiana Nathalie Du Pasquier<\/strong> (1957, Bordeaux). Quest'opera, commissionata dal proprietario e collezionista Brendan Becht appositamente per gli spazi del ristorante, consiste in un wall painting site-specific che si sviluppa lungo il muro della sala da pranzo principale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Du Pasquier, che vive e lavora in Italia dal 1979 e ha lo studio nelle vicinanze di Zaz\u00e0 Ramen, \u00e8 stata coinvolta grazie a una serie di coincidenze fortunate. Invitata da amici e dalla sua gallerista bresciana Francesca Migliorati di APALAZZOGALLERY, l'artista ha creato un dipinto intitolato \"Intercity\" che si estende su due dei muri del ristorante, rappresentando un paesaggio astratto visto dal finestrino di un treno in corsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intercity\" collega i vari luoghi attraversati dal proprietario Becht e i diversi punti di origine degli artisti invitati a intervenire a Zaz\u00e0 Ramen. \"Penso che un ristorante, come da tradizione, sia un ottimo luogo per ammirare dipinti, e poi in questo caso la presenza effimera di questi wall paintings li rende in qualche modo pi\u00f9 interessanti; fra sei mesi saranno cancellati per sempre\", afferma Du Pasquier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019intervento di Nathalie Du Pasquier \u00e8 arricchito da un testo critico di Irene Sofia Comi, che esplora ulteriormente le sfumature dell'opera e la sua collocazione nel contesto del ristorante. <\/strong>Comi scrive: \"Si potrebbe affermare che ogni opera, per Nathalie Du Pasquier, abbia a che fare con la pittura. L\u2019artista dipinge ogni giorno nel suo studio, dal 1987. In 'Intercity', le pareti e gli altri elementi architettonici di cui si compone lo spazio vengono trattati come se fossero tele che, unite tra loro, compongono un\u2019unica grande struttura\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E continua: \"Il progetto concepito dall\u2019artista \u00e8 un\u2019opera-ambiente, dove lo spazio reale finisce per fondersi con lo spazio di rappresentazione dell\u2019opera. Questa dimensione ambientale, oltre a dialogare con la tradizione del wall painting, si pu\u00f2 mettere in relazione con altri lavori realizzati dall\u2019artista. Le pennellate che compongono la fascia centrale di 'Intercity' sono inscritte in un rettangolo dai tratti spessi e neri, che sembrano mimare la funzione di una cornice. Bench\u00e9 questi elementi ci sembrino vagamente riconoscibili, sono invece per l\u2019artista 'cose inesistenti'\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intercity\" di Nathalie Du Pasquier rappresenta un'occasione unica per immergersi in un paesaggio dinamico e astratto, frutto della visione artistica di un'autrice che ha saputo intrecciare la sua storia personale con quella di luoghi e persone che attraversano il suo percorso creativo. Un'opera che, pur nella sua effimerit\u00e0, lascia un segno indelebile nella memoria di chi la osserva. \"Intercity \u00e8 un insieme di elementi che crea associazioni, un progetto coerente con la sensibilit\u00e0 dell\u2019artista. L\u2019intervento rende lo spazio di Zaz\u00e0 reale e sospeso, verosimile e astratto. \u00c8 organizzato e geometrico, eppure tiepidamente familiare. \u00c8 giocoso e umorale... cos\u00ec 'come si seguono i pensieri'.\" \u2013 Conclude Comi citando l\u2019artista.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"nathalie-du-pasquier-intercity","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"Nathalie Du Pasquier: Intercity","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
