Two artists as different as the married couple Erik Jeor and Elvire Soyez form an alloy at Galleri Benoni: Jeor\u2019s watercolours, fleeting and fluid like air and water, with Soyez\u2019s solid sculptures, created from fire and earth. The title L\u2019Apesanteur<\/em> contains both weight and its suspension: gravity and weightlessness (a theme that preoccupied Simone Weil). Erik Jeor\u2019s watercolours float in a space or a submarine world, between form and formlessness, body and landscape, abstract sign and figure. Between apocalypse and bliss. Floating, swimming \u2014 yet they have arisen from the gravitational pull of the running pigment, its own physical weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Elvire Soyez\u2019s objects in fired clay, resting heavily on their base, simultaneously contain the weightless and the celestial: the ancient Armenian church surrounded by a cloud. And the crystalline mountain peak that transforms into a cultic structure, related to the sky\u2011storming utopias of futurism and expressionism. In the earthly, the spiritual is incarnated, as in eroticism: a cleft in the snail. The metamorphoses reveal a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
