DO YOU KNOW THE CNFAP?

With the aim of contributing and humbly bringing my knowledge to organizations working for the artistic cause in the world, I am happy to have been admitted to join the Board of Directors of the CNFAP in June 2024.

The CNFAP [Conseil National Français des Arts Plastiques] is an organization born out of the creation of the IAA-AIAP [International Association of Art – Association Internationale des Arts Plastiques].

But before I tell you about the CNFAP, I would like to introduce you to the IAA-AIAP.
http://www.cnfap-artsplastiques.org 
https://iaa-aiap.com

The IAA-AIAP is an NGO emanating from UNESCO, whose foundations date back to 1948, and whose role was to investigate the ways in which artists could serve UNESCO’s objectives, and to discover what obstacles of a social, economic or political nature stand in the way of artists practising their art, throughout the world. 

In 1954, the IAA-AIAP was fully constituted as an independent NGO affiliated to UNESCO. Its members are spread over five continents, and many countries in the world are represented by a UNESCO partner structure with direct links to the IAA-AIAP.

The CNFAP is therefore one of the national structures officially representing France at the IAA-AIAP.

Artists such as Miro, Braque, Delaunay, Pasmore, Hartung, Laurencin, Matta, Lurçat, Masson, Vasarely, Moore, Soto, Cesar, Calder and many others have contributed to the growth of the IAA-AIAP.
Today, other personalities from the artistic world continue to work to defend the rights of artists worldwide.

Each member holds an IAA-AIAP Card recognized and accepted by museums and art institutions worldwide. It is also an important identification for artists in their professional artistic pursuits. It is awarded by the National Committee of the artist’s country of residence. In France, it will be issued by the CNFAP.

The CNFAP was set up by the French Ministry of Education’s Direction Générale des Arts et des Lettres in 1956, to officially represent France at the IAA-AIAP and promote dialogue and exchange between artists worldwide.

The CNFAP’s founder-members include twenty eminent artists such as Georges Braque, Roger Chapelain-Midy, André Dunoyer de Segonzac, Marcel Gromaire, Marie Laurencin, André Lhote…

Joining the CNFAP as a member artist is usually by co-option.

MY EXHIBITED ARTWORK


The two exhibited works are part of a short photographic novella「ささやき」produced in Japan in May 2023.

ささやき (Sasayaki), in Japanese, means “MurmurS”, the title of the theme “Murmures” in French.

These photographs are, for those who know how to listen to silence, the murmur of nature.

While my photographic artwork tirelessly questions the murmurs of the universe, I did not think that the waves that I captured that night in Kanazawa, in dialogue with the moon, transmitted to me a vibration heralding the 6.5 magnitude earthquake which occurred a few hours later, on May 5, 2023 at 2:42 p.m. in Ishikawa Prefecture.

Everything is just a murmur of these waves which constantly pass through us and transmit to us in their infinite trajectory, the echo of the World, if indeed we can interpret it.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK EXHIBITED

“Sylve cosmique opus 1” Triptych
Éric Petr, 2o22 / copy #1/3

Presentation : Triptych of 48 x 100 cm composed of three photographic’s tableau.
Technique: Digital camera and pigment ink print on satin-finish fine art paper.

From these threads of light, which flow over our forests as water spreads life, are hidden the secret codes of the creative matter that reproduces the universes. This powerful energy seeps into the interstices of nature and its cosmic sap works to shape the universe in the matrix.
This first opus was born from this reflection on the life-giving power of the forest but also on its vulnerability.
This new project will write its next opuses to reveal the forest in its most poetic form but also to make the reader aware of this equation: vitality / fragility.
