\nCl\u00e9mence Devienne\u2019s vivid portraits transport you into the world of New Orleans\u2019 artists, painters, and writers who are reinventing the city post-Katrina. While New Orleans has gone through tough times in the past, the city that gave birth to Jazz has managed to come out stronger, thanks in large part to its residents: Deacon, the guitarist, Alfred, the Mardi Gras Indian, Anita, the \u201cBaby Doll\u201d and many others.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text]Clemence Devienne painted more than thirty portraits on the spot. Painting people live means that you spend long hours with them, in their workplace or at their home. The conversations revolved around the meaning that the inhabitants give to their artistic engagement in a city shaped by slavery, racial segregation and the long-term consequences of Katrina. She tried to capture the exchanges and the atmosphere on the day of the portrait in the final painting, thusleaving a trace of the encounter.<\/p>\n
Realized during a stay in January 2017, portraits, about thirty, are at the once a homage to the inhabitants and a gateway to the neo-Orleans world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_text_aligment=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb use_row_as_full_screen_section=\u00a0\u00bbno\u00a0\u00bb css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1510250040590{padding-top: 67px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/3″][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb5811″ img_size=\u00a0\u00bbfull\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
