POEMS and FINE ART NUDE
When one arrives in front of these works one feels an impression of chapel, place of worship. It has highly-rated one holiday, one remembers oriental tales, it hen one enters the arched room, in the heart of the Galerie L'ARCHE one is struck by the atmosphere which gets free of the installation of the works of the painter AUQUIER. It is the stage setting which regroups paintings , sculptures, glass works, in a space by creating an atmosphere, a mysterious atmosphere, which existed in the works of the painter AUQUIER but which did not appear with so much force.

After traveling to Pompei, Rome, Sicily, painter returned disturbed by the wealth and the abundance of decorations Romans and Bysantins. To Pompei, walls are covered with frescoes, the grounds of mosaics, ceilings are decorated with mouldings , worked: everything is decoration.

The Roman used trunk the eye, the perspective,but also the creation of space through decorations. In Rome and in SICILY, the Byzantine basilicas give the same impression of profusion of decorations, marble, mosaics, frescoes.

The artist wanted to give this dimension has his work.This installation gives an impression of wealth, one discovers to it a dimension which opens the way to the spiritualite and to the mystery. Often the painting of the painter AUQUIER were consisted of various parts, the painting is in the painting, current presentation came in a natural way.

When we arrive before this works we feel one impression of chapel,of place of adoration.It is the feast, we remember oriental story, we are out of one's element in total disorientation

Paintings are able the ground, as pavements of mosaic. Glance is not any more the same, one does not see any more the painting of face, it is necessary to tilt the head downward, it is another step, another concept, another dimension. One has another approach of the work has the feet, one dives into the work.

One is very far from the traditional exposition. One feels the same sensation as in front of a accumulation, an accumulation of ex-voto, one feels a mystic spirit.

The public reacts very well in front of this new conception of the exposition. Someone want to walk barefoot in the work of the artist, it is then, a work in three dimensions. The others would like seeing it in halls, and integrer works in an architectural project, in a castle, so that there is more retreat, more dimension, they would like listening, composing a music... One would like seeing walking there persons, nymphs,priestess, one feels there a magic spirit.

Bit by bit the idea to prolong this exhibition came, the photo and the video have be used. All understood that it was a new concepts: one enters the world of the artist, it is the honor that to be invited there.
