Address

11 rue Chavanne. Premier étage,
69001 Lyon

LE 1111 is an intimate space between the traditional gallery and the private apartment. The four “1”s of the address – 11 rue Chavanne, Lyon 1, 1st floor – kicked off transversal exhibitions and interconnections between contemporary artists and very renowned artists through “Cartes Blanches” exhibitions. Contemporary artists invited to exhibit select artworks by consecrated artists from the gallery's collection (Rembrandt, Picasso, Matisse, Miro, Zao Wou Ki, etc.). By abolishing temporal borders and mixing practices, LE 1111 offers a favorable ground to regenerate our view of art.

Angélique de Chabot x Jorge Camacho & Manuel Mendive

LE 1111

Ceramist, painter, collector of feathers and many other natural marvels that she saves from waste, Angélique de Chabot constructs patiently a strange bestiary of marvelous chimeras. Hybrid creatures appeared in her work in 2017. A few months later, she exhibited a monumental the title Il 30-meter dragon, awakening founding myths and treasures buried in our memories.

In his works, "crustaceans, beasts with feathers and silky coats hybridize like so many precious monsters, totems, magical talismans. It is about an animist mysticism, an immortal metaphysics, the persistence of the sacred and the way it is still embodied in our lives. His works are inhabited by ancient spirits, gods to worship or blaspheme”. (Richard Leydier)

At LE 1111 gallery, Angélique de Chabot exhibit her masks and talismans with artworks by the Cuban artists Manuel Mendive and Jorge Camacho, for a special “Carte Blanche” that appears as an act of resistance to the forgetting of our deeply spiritual nature.
