Deconstructing BOWIE
“I only find freedom in the realms of eccentricity.”
DAVID BOWIE
THE NATIONAL LIBERTY MUSEUM IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR MAJOR WINTER EXHIBITION DECONSTRUCTING BOWIE: FREEDOM IN ECCENTRICITY, OPENING FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 2022, AS PART OF THE FIFTH ANNUAL PHILLY LOVES BOWIE WEEK, AND CONTINUING THROUGH April 2022.
Throughout his long career, David Bowie found personal freedom in his unique forms of cultural expression. Through music, art, and fashion, Bowie disrupted and rebelled against societal expectations and norms, introducing new and more critical ways of thinking about race, sex, and gender. This exhibition celebrates David Bowie’s legacy in the creative freedom he inspired in generations of artists that have followed in his wake, artists who have continued to push boundaries and inspire others to do the same. In Deconstructing Bowie, we celebrate the timeless power of music and art to challenge cultural expectations and drive both personal and societal change.
The artwork on display in Deconstructing Bowie will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), in partnership with Philly Loves Bowie Week.

PRESS RELEASE
C'est avec les quatre artistes, CAROLE JURY-Peintre abstraite, GAËLLE HINTZY-
MARCEL-Sculpteure, PAULINE LÉVÊQUE-
Illustrateure et ANNABEL PERRIGUEUR-Peintre/mix média, que les Women Artists
from France lancent leur quatrième et nouvelle exposition 100% féminine, en
collaboration avec OLD GARAGE GALLERY située à Brooklyn et MÉDECINS DU
MONDE USA.
Ces quatre femmes artistes, connues pour leurs univers artistiques singuliers ont,
pour la première fois, réuni leur art et créé des œuvres partagées.
Cet “art expérimental", comme elles aiment à le nommer, a donné naissance à des
pièces d’art inédites qui parviennent à juxtaposer des matériaux et/ou des couleurs,
à entremêler des mouvements, des lignes, à explorer les matières sous de multiples regards.
Une nouvelle étape est ainsi franchie pour les Women Artists from France, qui, grâce
à cette collaboration expérimentale, laisse entrevoir les émotions et l’énergie qui les
animent aujourd’hui, celles du renouveau et d’une nouvelle tranche de
vie venant effacer la tristesse des mois passés.
Du 11 au 13 novembre prochain, plus d’une vingtaine d’oeuvres s’installeront au sein
du nouvel espace dédié à l’art, appelé Old Garage Gallery au coeur de Brooklyn.
Enfin, pour donner du sens à cette dynamique créative, les quatre artistes ont choisi
de reverser vingt pour cent des bénéfices de leurs ventes à Médecins du Monde
USA, pour supporter leurs combats visant a faire progresser durablement le droit des
femmes, en favorisant notamment leurs accès aux soins de sante dans tous les pays où ils sont présents.
Six partenaires soutiendront l’aventure artistique :
French Wink, She for She, Women of Culture, Monsieur Brunold, Le Petit Journal
New York et PICTO New York, French Radar.
OPENING DE L’EXPOSITION JEUDI 11 NOVEMBRE 2021 DE 17H A 21H
OUVERTE AU PUBLIC JUSQU’AU SAMEDI 13 NOVEMBRE 2021.

Heart for LIFE,
a virtual Exhibition dedicated to Nelia !
When I accomplished this Mixed Media painting last January, I learned that my friend's daughter, only 13 years old, was diagnosed with bone cancer and started chemo treatment!
Devastated by this news and revolted by this injustice of life, I promptly decided to dedicate this art piece to her for highlighting her struggles for LIFE!

VIRTUAL EXHIBITIONS - 2020
Celebrating Values
2020 has been a challenging year !
Firstly, the COVID-19 pandemic plunged the world into an unprecedented health and economic crisis and then, weakened again by an upsurge of violence !
So, this situation led me to participate in evocative Art projects oriented towards Human Values !
GRATITUDE
"Keep HOPE Alive"
This Mixed Media painting was part of a campaign featured by Amplifierart.org to promote mental health, well being and also, to thank healthcare workers devoted to save lives and took care of each other during this health crisis.
"Keep HOPE Alive" because as Miguel de Cervantes, the famous spanish novelist said "Where there is Life, there is Hope !"

In response to the tragic death of George Flyod in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the rise of violence directed towards racial minorities, I wanted to denounce the human cruelty and enhance Dignity & Integrity by peaceful means !
