The American University of Paris presents the exhibition "Drawings, something old, something new" by artist Joe Neill from May 22 to September 1, 2024. An opening reception in the presence of the artist will be held on May 22 at 6pm in the University's gallery at 6 rue du Colonel Combes, 75007 Paris.
Joe Neill is a magicien from a cosmic universe whose center rotates on itself. It is at the heart of an illogical world that is governed by laws that he himself invents over and again in order to manipulate all of its possible contradictions. Bernard Point.
One never tires of looking at Joe Neill's configurations of space and color. The flourishes provided by his drawings, as well as by the little spheres, are something like a signature. As clear a metaphor as an old-fashioned artist's palette, these flourishes say: this may at times look like something else, but it is at all times art, and art of a high order. Cynthia Nadelman
