Paul Walker ... Born in California in 1973, Paul Walker made his big-screen debut in the 1986 horror spoof Monster in Your Closet. After appearing in several television shows in the 1990s, including Charles in Charge, Who's the Boss? and The Young and the Restless, Walker gained attention with a role in the 1999 film Varsity Blues, and his TV days were officially behind him. After working in teen movies such as She's All That and The Skulls, Walker got his breakthrough role in 2001 with The Fast and the Furious, which would become his star vehicle and keep him busy through four sequels and a short prequel. The Fast and the Furious franchise established Walker as an action-film mainstay, and he went on to appear in several films in the genre, including Takers, Hours and Vehicle 19. Walker died in a car accident on November 30, 2013, at age 40. At the time of his death, Walker had finished Brick Mansions and was working on Fast & Furious 7. Brick Mansions was released in 2014 and Fast & Furious 7 premiered in April 3, 2015 to huge box office returns. In March 2015, co-star Vin Diesel named his new baby daughter Pauline after his friend. Daughter Walker has a daughter, Meadow Rain, with ex-girlfriend Rebecca McBrain. In his will, Walker left his $25 million estate to Meadow and requested that his mother become her legal guardian. Brothers The 2015 release of Fast & Furious 7 was made possible with the help of Walker's two brothers, Caleb and Cody, who had a close physical resemblance to the actor. The brothers worked with visual effects artists in scenes that needed to be reshot of the late actor, and with the implementation of CG, brought Walker back to life. The film would go on to gross $1.7 billion internationally. Early Career Born on September 12, 1973, in Glendale, California, Paul Walker appeared in front of the camera at a young age, modeling and acting in television shows such as Charles in Charge, Highway to Heaven and Who's the Boss. In 1986 he made his film debut in the horror spoof Monster in the Closet while also landing a recurring role on TV's Throb. After high school, Walker attended various California community colleges, but he dove into acting full-time in 1993, taking a role in the soap opera The Young and the Restless. After a handful of TV guest roles and the lead in Tammy and the T-Rex, Walker starred in the family comedy Meet the Deedles and left his TV career behind for good. Movies Walker's next role was a big one for his career: He appeared opposite Reese Witherspoon in the critically acclaimed, high-concept Pleasantville. From that point on, Walker found himself in starring roles in such late-1990s films as She's All That, Varsity Blues and The Skulls — all pitched at a teen audience which helped turn Walker into a heartthrob. 'The Fast and the Furious' In 2001 Walker's career hit overdrive when he landed a leading role alongside up-and-comer Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furious. A film that paid homage to road films of the 1970s, The Fast and the Furious brought Walker to new heights of fame on the way to box-office receipts of more than $200 million. Two years later, the franchise was back with its first sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Walker was again along for the ride. The film's gross was even larger than the first, and a bona fide hit series was under way. Walker then appeared in a few more action-oriented movies, including Timeline (2003), Into the Blue (2005) and Running Scared (2006), while also signing on to appear in the ensemble drama Noel (2004) and the children's adventure movie Eight Below (2006).

 

Dan Kane ... In 1970, as Dan Kane prepared for a transformative year abroad as an exchange student, his mother gifted him a modest Instamatic camera, suggesting he might want to capture moments of his journey. Neither could have foreseen that this small gesture would ignite a lifelong passion and career. Now, "over a hundred thousand images later" and after decades spent living in Berlin, Kane returns to his native South Dakota, offering the people of his home state a glimpse into the profound artistry inspired by that simple gift. Kane’s steadfast commitment to analog photography defines his body of work, which delves into the interplay of form and shadow. His visual exploration of the male human form as a terrain of shapes and contours finds a compelling resonance in this exhibition where his figurative work is presented in dialogue with his striking photographs of South Dakota's sweeping landscapes and dramatic scenery. Through predominantly black-and-white photographs, Kane evokes both the nuanced beauty and enigma of his subjects, while grounding his vision in a mastery of design elements and principles that echo classical and academic artistic traditions.

Benvenuto Cellini ... Benvenuto Cellini était un orfèvre, médailleur et sculpteur italien (Florence 1500-1571). Cellini a eu une vie extrêmement agitée, alternant périodes de gloire et disgrâces auprès des grands de son temps. Ses mémoires, qu'il dicta à un de ses élèves et qui ne seront publiés qu'en 1728, ont fait connaître cette vie aventureuse, qu'il mena à Rome, à la cour de France et à Florence. Dans cette œuvre emplie de détails réalistes et burlesques sur le milieu artistique en Italie et en France, s'exprime à la fois l'exigence artistique et l'ambition de la réussite matérielle de Cellini. Ce récit eut beaucoup de succès en Europe – Goethe en donna une traduction en allemand. On peut le considérer comme la première autobiographie « moderne », en ce sens qu'il accorde une part importante à l'expérience individuelle et à l'apprentissage de l'artiste. La Nymphe de Fontainebleau (haut-relief en bronze, vers 1543, château d'Anet, puis Louvre) marque les débuts de Cellini dans la sculpture de grand format, dont il sera l'un des meilleurs représentants maniéristes en Italie. On retiendra aussi son Persée de la loggia dei Lanzi, à Florence (1545-1553). Besides his works in gold and silver, Cellini executed sculptures of a grander scale. One of the main projects of his French period is probably the Golden Gate for the Château de Fontainebleau. Only the bronze tympanum of this unfinished work, which represents the Nymph of Fontainebleau (Paris, Louvre), still exists, but the complete aspect can be known through archives, preparatory drawings and reduced casts

 

Alfredo Araújo Santoyo ... Alfredo Araújo Santoyo (1972-), Bogota, Colombie, vise à exposer les êtres humains dans leur fragilité, la vulnérabilité et leur solitude intime, comme le peintre devant la toile blanche. Essayez de connaître son essence dans l'isolement des éléments sociaux ou culturels qui l'entourent. Cherche homme sans leurs masques et costumes: sans leurs possessions matérielles, les positions de pouvoir ou aucun prétexte. Il décrit son travail comme un recueil de pensées et de sentiments longtemps médité, affleurement libéré de votre subconscient, sans autre revendication qui existent. Mais il est plus important pour l'artiste au public en face de son travail sans un discours qui limitent leur interprétation
