Among the ‘Carré Rive Gauche of art and antique galleries’, and not far from the Seine river and Orsay Museum, HEGOA Gallery is a like a jewel box on two stages dedicated to young or famous contemporary artists, with a large place for photographers.
Their common point : sensibility, poesy, humor, sensuality and a marvelous or critical view of the world. I present four or six weeks exhibitions, crossing messages, cultures and generations and with conferences, concerts or exchanges between artists and visitors.
The gallery is also a warm place, designed and decorated to feel like being at home to meet artists, sharing events or reserve the space on the evenings for the ‘after work of art’.
The presence of the gallery on the international art fairs, the partnership with others galleries in France and in the world, with museums, foundations or firms, give to the exhibitions the possibility to travel ‘beyond the walls’ for the artists’ fame.
See you soon!

Photographer
Marian Adreani was born in 1989 in Romania. Adopted at 2 years old, he grew up in France. Marian started photography at 13 years old having his parents and friends pose for him. Creating an imaginary family by means of photography, he carefully chose a fictional and eclectic genealogy. A set-up shot, or straight with no gimmicks, be it a celebrity or unknown, he has one desire: to come to know his subject. By what means? Extract the essence of the other and bring it out in their face. Commissions or personal work, Marian has made portraits of David Lynch, Roman Polanski, and
Alejandro Jodorowsky, which he has exhibited in Paris, Marseille, and Rencontres d’Arles. His work has been published in Le Monde, L’Officiel, Côte Magazine, and Télérama among others. Marian is represented by Galerie HEGOA located in Paris.

Making a portrait of someone comes down to extracting the contents of their brain and applying it onto their face, as Rodin said. The formula is admittedly violent, radical, and without mercy, as my work can be, but in practice it is tender and delicate: the triangular relation between the subject, the photographer, and the camera is almost a love affair: ambiguous, passionate, pursuing seduction and escape. But what is the common thread between David Lynch, Béatrice Dalle, and Abel Ferrara? Why bring them together? Because I share with them the taste of risk and audacity, as well as a faith in humanity and a profound desire to resist the society of pure distraction in which we find ourselves.

Photographer
A graduate in economics and Chinese, Eric Bénard has been a photographer and an independent writer since 1989. While making contributions to the press, local authorities and companies in reporting, portraits and architecture, at the same time  he devotes himself to personal works for exhibition and art prints. The relations and interactions between man and his environment are at the centre of his concerns. In particular he investigates river and urban  spaces in Europe and Asia, associating words and pictures. He evokes through photography the spirit of real and imaginary places connected to painters (the Normandy of impressionnists) and writers  (Maupassant’s pays de Caux, Marguerite Duras’s Indochina, or Roland Barthes’ Japan)
writer and Duras’ biographer
Whole days in indochina
Exhibition from 04/04/2014 to 17/05/2014
The exhibition Marguerite Duras, Entire Days in Indochina, stemmed from a double encounter : that with a work of infinite richness, and another with oriental civilizations which have drawn me since my first trips to China. On my path as a photographer who loves litterature, these two aesthetic worlds were bound to cross each other. Lulled by the captivating music of Marguerite
Duras, guided by my intuitions and wanderings, overwhelmed by these colours of South-East Asia, I tried to capture some fragments of a melancholy world dissolving in the vast rivers and ricefields, and in the monsoon skies. A slow and smooth immersion, a little out of time. The square format and argentic pictures came naturally. In the manner of her books and of her movies, I wished to suggest a kind of drifting voyage, between a past time which resurfaces and a present which is always flying away. Between literature and photography, a kind of dialectics sets up, a promise of a yet unknown world.

The young girl of Hanoi- 2012

Photographer
Philippe Alexandre Chevallier was born in 1961 in Paris. After studying cinematography, he moved into photo reporting from 1985 to 1992, before setting up his studio in Paris. He works with the major advertising agencies - Publicis, McCann, Leo Burnett ...- and has developed close collaboration with them particularly with regard to culinary photography. Passionate about travelling, he discovered Southern Africa, Namibia-Botswana in 1998. This allowed him to develop a personal approach to this majestic yet threatened animal world which mixes the sublime and the tragic. His approach in B & W, the choice of a short focal lens which forces him to get closer to the animal, distinguishes him from other wildlife photographers. A black and white which is by no means monochrome, but whose every nuance, every shade, relates the harmony of nature.
Water, mud, vegetation: the animal is at one with its environment, its habitat. This journey has resulted in numerous exhibitions. Philippe Alexandre Chevallier collaborates with Biosphoto
Agency and GEO for his work in the field.
The animal soul
Exhibition from 20/11/2014 to 03/01/2015
On We often imagine the wild animal full of majesty yet without pity for its prey; such an actor without feelings. The final witness to paradise on earth. Philippe-Alexandre Chevallier’s latest pictures show a different facet of animal reality. Lions, elephants, wild dogs or baboons are living beings just like everyone else. Anxiety, flight, the feeling of living in an uncertain place all reveal their state of being. Because they have a soul. In the Kalahari or the Strait of Okawango, Chevallier has perceived this fragility during the rainy season. Not from a distance, as some wildlife photographers who crush horizons with their long focal lenses do, but right up close to snouts, horns and trunks, at the risk of being charged. Eye to eye. A beast hidden in the tall grass, a lone tree that reflects the solitude of a leopard, a desert landscape under threatening clouds, or the leap of an Impala towards the unknown puts us in this natural place which is not expanding, like the universe, but which is shrinking at the hand of mankind. In his previous work,
Chevallier showed us conquering lions, elephants carving their glory in the mud, ballets of enchanted gazelles, suspicious rhinos, giraffes in love. Today he shows us the hidden aspects, the cautiousness, the awareness of danger. A reflection of the era in which we live. This is a poetic view, an honest view. In front of Philippe Alexandre Chevallier’s lens, one is tempted to say that we can see the human side of these animals. Rather it is our own animalistic aspect that is reflected in these images.

Babouin Chacma - Botswana - 2014

Photographer
Born in 1976 at Dunkerque, Ludovic FLORENT is a French photographer. He quickly specialized in studio-photography focusing on the beauty of expressions, graphism and the grace of the human body.Favouring the twilight technique, he turns his artistic research into uncluttered represenations, indulging emotion and sophistication over the nature and seduction. Behind every carnal envelope hides a soul that is both sensitive and flamboyant as I try to capture in each of my photographs. Every time, it is a matter of unique meeting and trustworthy relationship, that is built and established, between a look and a model, with the maximum respect of this last one. With each case it is a unique match, a relationship of trust is built and established between a glance and a model with the greatest respect thereof. Author/photographer since 2007, his work has been the subject of three books. The first one, (Peau)ésie, was auto-edited in 2011, the second one, which is a series of his nude pictures, was edited by Editions ESI in 2012. The last one “poussières d’étoiles”/ stardust was published in 2014. He also participated in many exhibitions. The « Poussières d’étoiles
» collection has been displayed at : GaleriMur : Poussières d’étoiles – September / December 2013
– Metz. Galerie HEGOA : Poussières d’étoiles – February / March 2014 – Paris. This same collection has been displayed at the “Festival Européen de la Photographie de Nu (European Festival of the
Nude Photography) at Arles and at the Baux de Provence in May 2014.
The « Poussières d’étoiles» - Stardust collection
Exhibition from 14/02/2014 to 29/03/2014
The idea of this series came to me from an aesthetic requirement : the wish to show bodies in motion by extrapolating each impulse, giving them a scale that allows to enroll in a temporality other than the instantanity of the photography.
By its grace and its intrinsic beauty, the use of dance immediately came to me. I wanted to collaborate with dancers stemming from various disciplines such as classical dance, modern jazz dance, african dance, and latino…, to let myself be surprised by the variety of existing methods of expression, intimately linked to the underlying personality of each dancer.
Indeed, it was very important for me to show bodies free to express the image of human-being in its plentitude, in a report of their simple and entire body without alterations nor will of seduction. Thus, the nudity comes naturally due to the fluidity of the bodies within the image. It is a component of the picture without being its main emphasis. The undressed body has no erotical pretention in this series but fully participates in the expression of the notions of liberty, plenitude, assertiveness and strength.
« Poussières d’étoiles » : when the infinitesimally small stands alongside the infinitesimally tall. For me, these slender, fully terrestrial bodies, seem to dance with the whole universe. In its own way, this photographic series is a plea against all the shackles, whether cultural, religious or ideological ones which surround, repress and undermine the human-being.

Danse dans l’âme
Exhibition in june 2015
« So I» dance «with them, following their movements, anticipating their actions, giving me the impression of not being single photo viewer, but rather an actor. This is a method in which all elements, mechanical or human, come alive in space, synergistically. I discovered a state of surrender creative outlet where the spontaneity retains a dominant position, where prolific accident disrupts a predictable narrative. Therefore only deal with the movement to express what I feel seems illusory.
Inexorably, the notion of time is unavoidable, the movement is a mathematical given a visible phenomenon of its flow. For the same choreography, it can be seen as a dream just like a fresco that suspended moment. The perception of time is relative.
It seems to expand or accelerate strange, strange and unique as can be our ability to feel and be felt. Here I am drawn into a dizzying spiral sweet, beyond the basic physical rules. A spiral where my marks vanish. A spiral where you ask the time, and where you meet it’s time to get drunk, get drunk constantly, forever or for a moment ... The time of a dance ... «

Her first work was for women’s magazines and lifestyle publications. A renowned portraitist and culinary photographer, Francesca has also produced campaigns for various marketing agencies and PR firms and published several books, notably on architecture and cooking. All this while she has been exploring a minimalist approach to culinary art and has been working on a personal project inspired by still life paintings. In 2009 she discovered 17th century Dutch painters Van de Velde and Peter Claesz, and their French contemporaries Lubin Baugin and Jean Simeon Chardin. Her work, full of chiaroscuro, has been influenced by them.

Francesca Mantovani considering his «Natures Vives’ as an offering, a hymn to creation. Since she always loved to draw and paint. And from his first photographs, she has always sought an imprint of atmosphere between film and painting light. In
2009 a traveling exhibition of Dutch painting, she rediscovers the lifes of Flemish masters. She worked for several months on a photographic series about food and this exhibition was like a revelation. She chose the requirement of black as a backdrop, solemn and intense, and decided to always associate the products of the earth, objects representing the know-how linked to traditional crafts. The photographer did make all his prints on paper «fine art» for its particular grain that gives depth, especially in dark colors. For her, photography is a poetic act. Before being a technician, photographer is primarily a contemplative.
Captivated by the beauty of a bunch of asparagus, a sea bream, a mushroom, she wanted to give to enjoy the beauty of the world. His only quest? The search for pictorial sketch. Find the restraint necessary to restore the authenticity of the food that nature offers us.

Photographer
Gilles first felt the awakening of his senses to art in his paternal grandparents’ workshop, both color specialists for antique engravings. He went on to discover photography very early on, producing his first illustrations and photographic works. Gilles approaches photography as a veritable language and, thus, as his particular mode of expression. Gilles created an engineering firm that often led him to produce images and incorporate them in communication projects. In 2009, he took a new career direction in order to fully apply himself to his profession as a photographer.
It is natural that his photographic choices are specifically on nature… it is, and has been, the environment within which Gilles has always surrounded himself. Gilles today encourages us to take a different look at the world around us.

Exhibition from 8/01/2015 to 7/02/2015
Gilles knows nature, loves to walk, observe the trees and be there as they go through their seasonal metamorphosis. His work reveals how soothing a forest can be - allowing one to escape city life and find the balance and calm necessary for our existence.
Trees remain our link between the past and future - they are the witnesses of our history. We can not live without them and to photograph them traces their passage in our lives. Each among them brings us into a world filled with magnificence ¬- unveiling all their strength and wisdom. We live in a world where everything moves so fast and it has become necessary to restore the tree to its natural place, its rhythm, its essentiality; we must not forget its rich historical, philosophical, scientific abondance.
They are our heritage. To gaze upon our trees is not enough. Gilles invites us, with all his poetry, to

Photographer
Clarisse Rebotier is now living and working in Paris. Clarisse’s creation cannot be dissociated from its relationship with the body. Touched when very young by the painters’ workshops around her, she was fascinated by the carnal print brought by the artist to the matter of his/her work of art.
Today, it is through photography that she keeps exploring the same question of our presence in the world. After brilliant literary studies, she left to explore the Arab world and settled in Tunisia for four years. Then serious health problems forced her to come back to France. In Tunis, like in
Paris, she was solicited for the writing and the staging of live shows (theatre and contemporary circus). Her approach of such a discipline was sensual and humorous, sometimes confusing. She then realized that her « rage of expression » was, above all, a photographic one. Thus, for 3 years, Clarisse has entirely dedicated herself to photography as a hard-working autodidact. Her pictures are concentrating on the presence of the body, that she viscerally feels as fragile with a precarious balance. She has always tried to capture the fugacity of existence, to reveal life, and at the same time, the vertigo of perishability. Her photographs are exhibited and sold in galleries in Paris and in New York.

Instant Sex Food
Exhibition from 14/02/2014 to 29/03/2014
«The « eroticoculinary » series is associating little sculptures of sensual women with varied daily food stuff. The staging, completely made up in a studio, is trying to merge at best such elements through a voluntarily palpable light, the practical monochromatic allowing, like in a painting, for a close exploration of the different tones of white. A list of carnal recipes proposing a glance altogether sensual and humorous on the body, which is offering to the viewer little bits of women « to savour » : Dita Von Endive, Bettie Chou-fleur, Peggy Sue Camembert… as many miniature strippers stretching like Pin’ups in our plates.

Yes, there is somwhere a people who, in less than a century, massevely converted to Christianity, destroying himself most of the signs of his ancient culture such as weapons, jewellery, costume and practises. For once the colonists, the missionaries or the army - the usual triple union of the cultural intégration - were not responsable for it. This existing people agrees to the indian supervision as a necessary evil without ever ceasing from being in conflict with himself (It must be said that the ethnic fights never stop in Nagaland) or with the Central State (who could attempt to make it outlandish) This existing people rediscovers and reinvents his own traditions for his saule benefit – the expected tourist remaining rare - A people who tries to exist as a nation . Finally a people who loves the blues, the mobile phones, the 4/4 cars as well as the tribal dances, the opium and the distant memory of the severed heads . A turbulent, vindictive, courteous, cheerfull character people , inventing a certain modernity, without leaving his mountains and without ignoring the rest of the world who does not hardly pay it back.

After his beginnings as a figurative painter in 1970s New York, Vincent Winter made a radical shift to conceptual art. In spite of a certain success, this culminated in a rapid disenchantment with the “gallery scene.” Suddenly he decided to leave for Africa to try and grasp why artistic creation was such a profound human need. He carried a camera with him at all times and found that the camera was far more than a paintbrush: it was his partner.On returning to New York, he began a career as a magazine art director, working for some of the most well-known U.S. titles before opening his own design agency. In 1986 he decided to reconnect with photography and moved to Paris. Since that time, Winter has continued his career as an art director while simultaneously working as a photographer of award-winning photo-reportages. For the last seven years he has focused on more personal “artistic” images. Winter still lives and works in Paris.
Parisian sonata
Exhibition from 27/06/2014 to 25/07/2014
Shortly after the economic crisis, Winter started wandering around Paris with a pocket camera. One day, displayed in a store window, he saw a photograph he liked and took a shot of it. Afterwards, he discovered that the camera had seen something he hadn’t intended: Not only was the intended picture semi-obscured by a reflection of the buildings and life behind him, but that he, too, was reflected in the new image. This became the basis of “Reflexions,” a series of “integrated self-portraits.” Five or six years later, after seeing a retrospective of André Kertész, he had a revelation. It was like a huge billboard screaming: “embrace where you are!” Immediately Winter started aiming at shadows, walls, everything. One day when he made a close-up shot of a Parisian sidewalk, he realized that he had entered into a parallel universe. The traces of humans, animals and machinery on the urban skin — once extracted from their context— revealed everything from galaxies to pure abstractions. He called this series “Passages.” “Sights,” on the other hand, is meant to be somewhat humorous, while attempting to reveal the interior monologues of the people captured. These three series add up to “PARISIAN SONATA.”

Marie-Paule Bilger has been on the art scene since 1980’s. Her body of works is multidirectional and multifaceted in the light of her personal journey, travels and interests. Born in Mulhouse she was trained in classical dance and embarked on studies of visual arts at the University of
Strasbourg in order to become a painter. For her the artist embodies both personal and collective history and therefore places her focus on a social and political debate to examine the state of the world. Her paintings, which deals with the current issues, have carved her artistic path : the events and conflicts that have occurred since September 2001 till now. Experimenting with painting materials (transparent substrates, plastic, plexiglass, glass) led her to the use of the video. She likes to translate «oxymoron» visuals through this medium.

Chaos - Oil painting on glass - 2012

Visual artist
Graduate from Arson Villa in Nice ( south of France ), Sylvie Herzog has been leading a dual activity of both a fresco and a studio painter since 1989. A hyperrealist artist, she paints with much sensitivity and sensuality objects to which she gives an appearance of smooth creaminess.
Since 2001, she’s made regular exhibitions, alone as well as with other artists, in France and also in other countries. Among others works, she made several mural paintings for her native town of
Mulhouse, where her studio is situated, as well as a mural work for Basel EuroAirport. Resolutely realist, her paintings as her murals open the way to illusion, to a journey, to dreaming, ….
Watering mouth
Exhibition from 17/10/2013 to 12/11/2013
Being inspired by her daily environment, Sylvie Herzog paints from her own photos and displays. Her painting embodies what she calls « living lifes ». The artist tries her hand at freezing the instant, a picture that can change instantly, depending on the light, on the subject or on the figures reflecting in it. Each shot is her own one. She alone knows the moment, the circumstances, the date and the place. Thus her work is a « reflection » on the fleetingness of life and an incitement to know how to enjoy the beautiful, simple, obvious and positive moments that meet our eyes every day. So her cherries and her chillies are transformed into harmonious and flaming explosions of colours and become dreamlike mirrors. There’s no doubt that her works are subjective.

Multidisciplinary artist designer, Geraldine Husson slides with freedom from one discipline to another without regard to borders. It seems that the relevance and power of her work can be found precisely in this perpetual tension between arts, she likes to combine, separate, merge. Born of an encounter between art / fashion / design / architecture / science. Her creations questioning the reports to the bodies, objects and spaces regardless of frontiers and having rightly an approach to the «limit» seen as opening and place of passage. The representation of concepts of territory, border, origin coming together on the same interface, they offer great fields of action and readings possible. By combination of materials and techniques, she pierces the contours, and is composed along without never completely confined in a box. Influenced by the symbolic and the ideal of freedom, the act of forming images, personal visions, has become her means of expression.

In the arms of the Mekong
Exhibition from 04/04/2014 to 17/05/2014
It was while crossing this river..... I was but a child, coming from the capital, Saigon, we had to take a ferry to reach Sadec, my place of birth. The crossing always seemed hazardous. On the opposite side of the shore, our house with her white colonnades would be awaiting us, a haven of peace and quiet, a haven rarely enjoyed, due to the perturbations of the war. Here we are, in the delta of the Mekong and its multiple arms; the place is called Cuu Long which means “The Delta of the Nine Dragons”. The clay I use in my works recalls to my memory the muddy waters of the Mekong. My sculptures follow and adapt to the meanders of the river, stretching out in length, dividing in arms. Just like Vietnam itself and also like the steps the Dragon makes, surging from the river Mekong, and then disappearing. Through my sculptures I have endeavoured to depict the atmosphere of the
Delta: this immense garden of perfumes, light, and the movement of passing fishing boats. Shapes and shadows composed of long dark waves, stretching out or restrained, sometimes upright, but finally breaking out to the open earth and sky. This exhibit is also a tribute to Marguerite Duras who lived and met “L’Amant” (The Lover) at Sadec.

Vendavel - Stonewear, patine - 69 X 10 X 31 cm – 2013

Visual artist
Après Paul Raynal studied fine arts and art history at the Toulouse School of Art, before going on to obtain a degree in fine arts from the University of Aix-Marseille. He then trained in screen printing at the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, taking cinema classes at the Sorbonne at the same time. Having qualified as a specialist teacher, he spent a few years teaching fine arts in Morocco before returning to France. ! With influences ranging from Cubists like Fernand Léger to Pop Art and Nouveau Réalisme, Raynal’s work is iconoclastic: texts and figurative elements are not only fragmented but layered and intertwined, resulting in pieces on the edge of abstraction.
The spectator is drawn into a game of splitting and joining, invited to explore a world at once poetic, sensual and surprising.
Movie stars
Exhibition from11/09/2014 to 11/10/2014
In my recent work, I refer to cinematic icons like Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Elizabeth Taylor and Steve McQueen, as well as to the tabloid press — especially coverage of sensational crime stories and murders, like in ???’New Detective’???. I distort the visual logic of movie posters and magazine covers to create my own ‘front page’: the painting. By taking the flood of images we’re exposed to and picking out a face here, a phrase there, reconceptualising and reprinting a poster elsewhere, I aim to start a new and unfamiliar discourse between these ‘ingredients’. Faces are linked by interplaying looks, composition and colour, while typography and snippets of text punctuate the pictorial space. Out of chaos I thus hope to create coherence, a flow unique to the painting that beckons the spectator to see beyond the profusion of signifiers to a source of aesthetic pleasure.

Invitation au voyage
Exhibition from 19/11/2014 to 03/01/2015
The sculptures of Marine de Soos are an invitation to travel. A journey with its apparent exoticism covering more essential reality. Travelling with her we leave one shore to which we are attached for another that takes us to another pinnacle. Poised on the present moment, she invites us to gather the fleshy fruit of the soul, so difficult to pluck, from the hollows of our fleeting, sideways glimpse. The elements that lie within us become perceptible at the site of a young flute player: a little further on children are touching the sky with their fingers. We nonetheless remain in control, in control of the circumference of our view, on the surface of the earth like the compass defining the horizon for this Masai shepherd. A woman with a bundle of twigs relates the burden of her days, the camel’s packsaddle carrying a load that, deep down, sum us up. In this manner, the little things of life flow, with sensitivity, nurtured by the smile of Knowledge. Suddenly there is a wave of a hand, the entrancing ritual of a visit, all ears for a journey into the thoughts of others with this figure of a man from Cape Verde. Oh… walking as if in a religious procession, capturing the riches of the world and a few weighty fish. The inaccessible is in your very depths and in this deeply-rooted, peaceful isolation. The elegance of a camel reminds us that the elements within us are the essentials. Our royalty allows itself to be gracefully borne along by the children we once were. Our glance counts, filtering with half-shut eyes whatever needs to be filtered on pathways of learning. A look open to what is said about our inner windows. When man is able to stand still, things can happen. Presence is imposed like an obstacle to draughts. The place of each person can be read in the leaves of trees and it only takes a lamp to be born to Light and wake up to life.
