About The Artwork

One of the propelling ideas of this project is the dichotomy of very different states of energy: in the past, energies of violence; in the present energies of beauty and peace. This piece, fourth in the series exploring / inspired by the Jardin du Luxembourg, explores the idea of energies that are hidden versus energies that are revealed. It is easy, today, to take the all of the beautiful gardens in Paris for granted, and to assume that they have always been just places of beauty, but such is not the case. And even in the present, there may be elements of intrigue and mystery; for example, the Nazi bunkers that still exist under the garden... L'une des idées propulsives de ce projet est la dichotomie d'états énergétiques très différents : dans le passé, les énergies de violence ; dans le présent, les énergies de beauté et de paix. Cette pièce, quatrième de la série exploratoire/inspirée du Jardin du Luxembourg, explore l'idée des énergies cachées versus les énergies révélées. Il est facile, aujourd'hui, de tenir pour acquis tous les beaux jardins de Paris et de supposer qu'ils n'ont toujours été que des lieux de beauté, mais ce n'est pas le cas. Et même dans le présent, il peut y avoir des éléments d'intrigue et de mystère ; par exemple, les bunkers nazis qui existent encore sous le jardin...

American expat living in Paris. Registered landscape architect in another life who maintains a passion for all things architecture / landscape architecture / urbanism - related. I've been creating art and exhibiting for more than 40 years. Moved to Paris 2+ years ago to study those parks associated with a moment of violence in history, where today there is little, if any evidence of that violence -- the parks are typically places of beauty and recreation. That, too me, is a fascinating dichotomy. So far I have about 50 sites that fall into that category, and i'm sure I will find more with additional research. So the project is to catalog the sites; document, through verbal and visual histories how they have developed; document through my own photography how they are being used today, and then to create new interpretive artworks, blog entries, etc. It's a fascinating journey, and I invite you to come along!! In addition to the originals for sale here on SaatchiArt.com, you'll find my blog at www.marcolsen.net.
