The association Quatre Couleurs, whose mission is to defend the creation made in France, while instilling audacious transversalities between the crafts, has brought together its artists in the Basfroi workshop, from 30 November to 1 December 2019, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, around an event entitled the "Black and White Parade".

On this occasion was present : Gwendoline Finaz de Villaine, Jeremy Kapone, Marlène Delcambre, Anna Marchlewska, Marine Coutelas, Thomas Drischel from Maison Robert Kerr, Emeric Thibierge, Luc Kieffer, Elizabeth Schmitt from Maison Vaincourt, Youmna Megarbane from Maison Youm Paris, Alexandra Baaske from Maison Galluchat, Delphine Brabant, Gratianne Bascans, Sophie Gregoire from Maison Agnelle, Pierre-Christian Tramier from Champagne Arlaux, Gwenaëlle Chassin De Kergommeaux from GCDK Design, Sophie Engster and Franck le Franc from Maison Chamberlan, Éléonore de Staël, Jérôme Cordié from Aithesis, Fabrice Ausset.

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, the association 4 couleurs has proposed a playful arty tour in this former sawmill with a New York loft feel, where we find the ultra-talented portrait artist Jérémy Kapone, the master of paper Thibierge, the jeweller Luc Kieffer, Maison Vaincourt...
A Christmas market like no other, where the trees are works of art designed by artists, and where you can buy 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.
