Exhibition available in several formats.
In March 2020, at the beginning of the lockdown, Elisabeth Llach received a package of old magazines featuring the works of great painters: Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Mantegna, Tiepolo, Tintoretto, Veronese, Rogier van der Weyden... The reproductions are poor but touching. Reading the old masters makes one forget the uncertain period.
Elisabeth Llach reproduces some of the details on paper, sometimes incorporating fluorescent shades. The speed of her brushwork allows her to lightly break free from classical models. From this work, the series Lightly revisiting the ancients was born.
And then, these paintings are joined by figures of women with mannered gestures, taken from fashion magazines. The title of the series Hold your own sounds like a double exhortation: yes, you are capable of defending yourself, yes, you are capable of doing just as well...
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
