“If there is one thing that Blase knows how to capture with his images, it's our attention. An unclassifiable artist, this forger painter masterfully handles the art of image diversion and anachronisms. Whether it is simply funny, sometimes mocking or provocative, often satirical or even denouncing, each work is unique.

This book brings together more than fifty emblematic paintings by the artist. The accompanying texts provide a unique insight into his work.”

Publisher's note

Blase Weirdo emporium

A unique virtual exhibition

Blase launches its application.
An unusual immersive visual experience, halfway between a private visit with the artist and a video game.

try it now!

Download "Blase Gallery" on your PC, smartphone or tablet android & iOS and discover a new way to admire artworks

An innovative virtual exhibition

The idea came from the first lockdown, Blase wanted to find an alternative to closed art galleries and museums. He therefore created an innovative virtual exhibition, in collaboration with Hervé Castaing, 3D scenographer. In a universe inspired, among others, by David Lynch's "Twin Peaks", enter an empty store in the middle of a dark and strange desert. Let yourself be carried away in this mystical universe, and go to meet these mysterious paintings. The audio guide is included: click on the paintings to learn more about them.

Art meets video game

More than a simple virtual visit, the "Blase Weirdo Emporium" is a video game; halfway between an immersive exhibition and a paper chase. To progress in the visit and discover new artworks, you will have to search for clues, which will allow you to pass through the doors and discover a preview of the last controversial work of the artist: "The Rise and Fall of the Empire".

Competition: a reproduction to win

To bring a little excitement to the game, a competition will be organized as soon as the application is released. Until October 15, players will be able to try to answer a question, the answer to which is in the game. A draw will be made among the correct answers. The winner will be able to choose the reproduction of his choice from those, worth a value of 580€.

Blase is back at the Galerie Vivienne

Five years later, Blase is back at the Vivienne Gallery. His love story with the gallery started in 2014; supposed to be exhibited for 2 weeks, his show continued for over 2 years. Despite the success of the exhibition, the gallery owner preferred to sell his gallery to set up his start-up. At the time, in order to stay in this historic passage, Blase organised a fundraising campaign, but the sum raised was not enough to take over the lease of the shop. Blase then moved to the Atelier Hauteville for 3 years, constantly preparing his return to this mythical place which offers a perfect scenography for his diverted old paintings. 

Blase Workshop : gallery and the official shop

More than an art gallery, the Blase Workshop is a cross between an artist's studio and a museum shop, where you can admire the artist's disruptive works, the paintings being restored, and discover the projects in progress before anyone else. You can also offer (to yourself ) a reproduction or collectors' items from Blase Art Entertainment, available exclusively at the workshop. And if you're lucky, you might even get a private tour by Blase himself...

AU Mannheimer Kunstverein

26 January - 15 March 2020

This exhibition is one of a special kind - there are things to laugh about, some to cry about, some to despair about, and some to shake your head at. Trivialities are found in good company with remarkable, with problems, arrivals and supposed departures, so like in real life. Art and life intertwine in many ways in this show. Some of the artists involved were found on the World Wide Web, joined by found objects from reality, also from the Internet. At first glance, some things seem disorganized, and this is by all means the concept. In the overall view, this results in nothing more and nothing less than a temporary, personal picture of the world with all the loud and quiet, the unexpected and special sounds. Let's see where this will lead.

Be seeing you!

URBANART BIENNALE® 2019

AT Völklinger Hütte

14 April - 3 November 2019

No art form is as diverse as urban art: it is the art of the 21st century itself! Urban art includes not only abstract works of art with roots in graffiti, but also the "Freedom Walls" of the Egyptian revolution and the "Change" campaign designed by Shepard Fairy for Barack Obama. Since the turn of the millennium, urban art has been shaping a new global artistic direction that is becoming part of the collective dimension of the urban fabric while increasingly attracting the art market. As an art movement with a growing history, importance and potential, urban art is being spread worldwide, regardless of national borders or cultural differences.

Every two years the UrbanArt Biennale® at the Völklinger Hütte World Cultural Heritage Site presents the latest developments and trends in this international movement. It is the largest project of its kind in the world. Since 2011, more than 400,000 visitors have come to the biennials, while almost 300 of the most popular street artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey and Futura have already exhibited their creations on the site of the Völklingen Ironworks. The 5th UrbanArt Biennale ® 2019 Unlimited presents 100 artists | 120 works | 20 countries | 4 continents on a 100,000 m2 tour of the current street art scene.

Aux Armes, et Caetera

Print available in limited edition
edited Achetez de l’Art

Aux Armes, et Caetera (2019) from BLASE© (1980)

“Au coeur de l’actualité, “Aux Armes, et Caetera” est une oeuvre qui peut difficilement passer inaperçue, représentant une femme d’un certain âge, à l’oeil au beurre noir, munie d’un lance-pierre et vêtue d’un… gilet jaune.

Cette nouvelle “Marianne” – l’artiste suggère d’ailleurs non sans humour qu’elle remplace en 2019 la sérigraphie “Liberté Égalité Fraternité” de Shepard Fairey, alias Obey, que l’on voit tous les ans lors des voeux du Président à l’Élysée – incarne avec force les mouvements de notre époque contemporaine.

Dans sa volonté de lier le passé au présent, en offrant une seconde vie à de vieilles toiles pour en faire des oeuvres très actuelles, BLASE© fait bien évidemment allusion dans son titre à notre hymne national, symbole de la révolution de 1789, mais également à la chanson de Gainsbourg composée en 1979, reprenant la Marseillaise sur un air de reggae, qui fit grand bruit à l’époque.”

ARTISTIC RESIDENCY IN NAPLES

NON CONFORME ALL’ORIGINALE

6 - 24 October 2018

Non conforme all'originale is Blase's first Italian exhibition. On the occasion of the 3rd edition of the ShowDesk art residency for 2018, the artist exhibited from 6 to 24 October at the SuperOtium in Naples, working on the creation of an unusual exhibition. A complex exhibition project, which spread across the city. Works were created especially for the occasion.

Blase completely subverts the residency project, as he does with his works.

“HÉRI[T]AGES” exhibition

AR[T]SENAL CENTRE D’ART CONTEMPORAIN - DREUX

May - September 2018

Héritages will bring together at the ar[T]senal, a group of works by established and emerging contemporary artists, in a dialogue with pieces from the classical art collection of the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Dreux. This exhibition was conceived as an introduction to the language of contemporary art through a classical visual vocabulary. It will bring together works by contemporary artists who are highly regarded in the art world. Sculptures, paintings, art objects, frescoes and installations will be linked to the classical or decorative art canons, either for their support or for their context of creation. The curatorial choice of this exhibition does not aim to classify the "good artists" in relation to the "bad artists" of the 19th century, but rather to take us on a journey through the framework of "true art" dictated by urban legend. This project will give us the opportunity to see a resolutely contemporary exhibition, laborious and loaded with sensitive and intelligible content on our society, a subject as present in the mentalities of the artists of our century as those of their peers. It is a way for ar[T]senal to change the way people think about contemporary art and to integrate the contemporary scene into the very heart of the logical development of art history.
