ANDRE NADAL; DE MEDICIS GALLERY; GALERIE DE MEDICIS; BRUNO CATALANO
André NADAL was born in Oran in 1952. In 1962, he arrives in France after the independence of Algeria. In 1976, after secondary education of draughtsman then the School of Fine Arts of Perpignan, Andre Nadal turns to the interior design. In 1982, following numerous journeys, in particular in the United States, he decides to dedicate his time to the painting.
Andre Nadal shares his time between his two workshops of Paris and the Tarn in the South of France. His very uncluttered artistic expression is essentially centred on the black and the white. These two materials, according to their matt effects or their shines, allied to meticulous techniques of brushing and smoothing, express a world in three dimensions. Andre Nadal pictorial universe consists of cubes, calligraphy, compactions of feathers, floating objects.
The Zen and dynamic aesthetics of André NADAL pulls us in a pondering which calms and stimulates the spirit.
FRANÇAIS :
André NADAL est né à Oran en 1952. En 1962, il arrive en France après l'indépendance de l'Algérie. En 1976, après des études secondaires de dessinateur industriel puis l'Ecole des Beaux Arts de Perpignan, il s'oriente vers l'architecture intérieure. En 1982, à la suite de nombreux voyages, notamment aux Etats-Unis, il décide de consacrer son temps à la peinture.
Il partage son temps entre ses deux ateliers de Paris et du Tarn dans le sud de la France. Son expression artistique très épurée est axée essentiellement sur le noir et le blanc. Ces deux matières, selon leurs matités ou leurs brillances, alliées à des techniques de brossage et de lissage minutieuses, expriment un monde en trois dimensions. Son univers pictural se compose de cubes, calligraphies, compactages de plumes, objets flottants.
L'esthétique zen et dynamique d'André NADAL nous entraîne dans une contemplation qui apaise et stimule l'esprit.

Auckland
The Auckland urban area (/ˈɔːklənd/, AWK-lənd), in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the country. Auckland has a population of 1,418,000, which constitutes 32 percent of the country's population. It is part of the wider Auckland Region, which includes the rural areas and towns north and south of the urban area, plus the islands of the Hauraki Gulf, resulting in a total population of 1,529,300 that is governed by the Auckland Council. Auckland also has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world. In Māori, Auckland's name is Tāmaki Makaurau and the transliterated version of Auckland is Ākarana.
The Auckland urban area (as defined by Statistics New Zealand) ranges to Waiwera in the north, Kumeu in the northwest, and Runciman in the south. It is not contiguous; the section from Waiwera to Whangaparaoa Peninsula is separate from its nearest neighbouring suburb of Long Bay. Auckland lies between the Hauraki Gulf of the Pacific Ocean to the east, the low Hunua Ranges to the south-east, the Manukau Harbour to the south-west, and the Waitakere Ranges and smaller ranges to the west and north-west. The central part of the urban area occupies a narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea and the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the few cities in the world to have two harbours on two separate major bodies of water.
