Doucette Duvall : Eco-Chic, Sexy and the City!

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:11:31 -0400

Doucette Duvall
Eco-Chic, Sexy and the City! One of the biggest hits of this Summer was the movie "Sex and the City," and guess what? The most fashionable sexy girls around were all dressed in Doucette Duvall fashions. Amazingly, this three year old label is already making a fashion statement on the big screen and for them, our warmest welcome! Stephanie Doucette and Annebet Duvall met in March 2003 as neighbors in Manhattan's Little Italy, where they chit-chatted on their Mulberry Street fire escape. A few years later, on Valentine's Day 2005, the pair launchedDoucette Duvall, a dress and coat line that sought to fill a fashion void in their own wardrobes. Their whimsical yet timeless designs embodied the wit and elegance of their mothers, grandmothers and aunties. And like the women who influenced their fashion style, the designers strongly encourage the personal interpretation of each piece. Read more...

A integraçao dos tres valoriza a diversidade, mas ao mesmo tempo a individualidade. O encontro destas artes é a lição do contraste. Uma alquimia diferente em cada exposicao.

Sao eles, brasileiros e acima de tudo totalmente internacionais – a mineira Carmem Gusmao, de Fort Lauderdale , a baiana Rose Lobo de Los Angeles e o carioca Ricardo Koebsch de Paris.

No proximo dia 11 de agosto, a coletiva “Circo das Fantasias”sera uma experiencia única. Uma exposição numa atmosfera colorida e divertida, como um grande circo. De um lado os artistas e seus trabalhos com personagens abstratos, simbólicos e impressionistas. Do outro o público, protagonista de um grande teatro.

Neste dia 11 de agosto, a Galeria sera a sede de uma praça cultural com caricaturas, sketches, fotografias “ lambe-lambe” e uma grande tela interativa – Venha inspirado, porque nesta noite voce tambem vai dar suas pinceladas !!

Uma exposição onde a ordem e celebrar o encontro do erudito com o popular da arte da rua e do ateliê

Saiba agora um pouco de cada um destes artistas -

Carmem Gusmao nasceu em Minas Gerais, cresceu em Belém do Pará ,na Amazonia.Tem obras em vários museus e galerias ao redor do mundo .Seu estilo,impressionismo abstrato foi fortemente influenciado pela cultura indígena,pelo barro,pelas aguas que correm nas margens transformadas em burnt siena,de uma Amazonia colorida, berço de inspiraçào.Sofreu tb influência do barroco mineiro,do latin,das ladainhas,psicologia e filosofia.Atualmente,vive e trabalha na Florida.

Rose Lobo é carioca de família baiana, nascida em plena terça feira de carnaval.

Sua arte é simbólica, interativa e decorativa. Em algodão, ou em qualquer elemento encontrado no caminho, a coreógrafa, cenógrafa e bailarina registra suas cores, dinamismo e movimento pelas passarelas da vida .

Ricado Koebsch has been living and working in France as an artist since 1988. He uses various techniques to integrate the past and the present, including techniques of prominent 18^th century artists that are perfectly suited for modern artistic expression.
