5 - 19 June 2008: Exhibition"Passion for life" Monaco

 

Artimesia Art Galerie, 5, ave Princesse Alice
Monte Carlo, Monaco Tel. +377 97 70 12 55

The Passion for Life (www.passionforlifeart.com) collective art exhibition was held from June 5-19, 2008 at the two Artemisia gallery locations in Monte Carlo. The Passion for Life program supports fundraising for the fight against cancer and other important humanitarian causes, through the organization of high caliber contemporary art exhibitions worldwide. The Passion for Life program was founded by Antoine Gaber (www.antoinegaber.com), both as an impressionist artist painter but also as a researcher in drug development focusing mostly in cancer treatments.

The Monte Carlo Passion for Life exhibition will be supporting GEMLUC (www.gefluc.org/organisation/region/monaco.htm), Groupement des Entreprises Monégasques dans la LUtte contre le Cancer, with its fundraising activities. GEMLUC was founded in Monaco in 1973 by Philippe Lajoinie, and Princess Caroline de Hanovre is the Honorary President. In this time, the association has raised over 1.500.000 euros in funds in order to fight cancer: donated to assist cancer research, pay for scholarships for medical students and medical products, and give care to cancer sufferers. In each of the countries where Passion for Life has exhibited, the funds raised have been fully and exclusively given to the chosen local charity or association.

On the evening of 5th June, 2008 Passion for Life exhibition fundraising cocktail dînatoire was held in La Rose des Vents (www.larosedesventsmonaco.com) in Plage du Larvotto, Monaco, organized by GEMLUC. This event will celebrate the Passion for Life exhibition opening and its support for GEMLUC. Some of the artists will attend the event along with personalities such as Michele Cucuzza and Amanda Lear, who is also one of the participating artists.

Invitation ARTROM Gallery Rome, Italy

Your experience was recognized and we were all immediately impressed with your bold style and extravagent use of color. The use of acrylics seems to be very suitable to you, and you use it well. The painterly scumbling technique you use produces rich effects in the Chinese series, especially in the backgrounds, "Mystery" for example, and the unnusual color choices for the faces are quite effective.

Our favorite painting, however was the brilliant 2 piece "Joie de vivre". Not because the subject has never been done before, but the execution and end result are splendid. Fresh, strong, sure brushstrokes keep the flowers light against the blue background. We would have liked to see the actual paintings but the highly graphic style comes through loud and clear on the monitor. This is also our favorite among all the other flower paintings on your website. Another painting that was appreciated was "She's mine" from the website. The looser, more stylized painting  "Vrouwelijk naakt" is also nicely done. 

We would like to invite you to become a Member of the ARTROM Gallery GUILD. Your work would be a welcome addition and we look forward to creating your AGG Portfolio.   

David Genovesi     
Director ARTROM Gallery, Rome, Italy

Gallery Comment:
Dutch artist Betty Jonker paints in a variety of styles, each with a sure and confident hand. Her work shows a background of experience with composition and color placement and she goes from style to style with equal agility.
