Quatre Couleurs, whose mission is to defend creative work made in France, while at the same time instilling bold cross-disciplinarity between the arts and crafts, has brought its artists together at the Basfroi workshop, from 30 November to 1 December 2019, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, for an event entitled the "Black And White Parade".

Behind the Bastille, this two-colour, graphic exhibition was held in an exceptional setting, a giant boat-like workshop designed by Mallet-Stevens. Resin, haute-couture, leather goods, drawing, photography, the event resounded like an ultra-joyous ode to painting, fashion and French craftsmanship, revealing real talent, in tune with the times.
With the help of painter Gwendoline Finaz de Villaine, Quatre Couleurs has created a playful, arty tour of this former sawmill with its New York loft feel, featuring ultra-talented portrait artist Jérémy Kapone, paper master Thibierge, jeweller Luc Kieffer, Maison Vaincourt and more.
A Christmas market like no other, where the trees are works of art designed by artists, and where you can treat yourself to shagreen, a magic painting, Japanese paper, a made-to-measure perfume...
The object must have a soul and be born from the meeting of the concept, the material and the human hand. When you have the know-how, it can take time to make it. But the true artist is the one who possesses the ingenious art of painting the word and speaking to the eyes. Through the lines and figures he draws, he gives colour and body to our thoughts.
The DIY women are at the helm in this new venue, reiterating their passion for the 1920s period, which saw the birth of the fertile friendships between Chanel, Cocteau, Picasso, Satie and Diaghilev. Black and white has never been so chic and inspiring, and is still very much a game of checkers.
