From time to time you take a minute to look back and contemplate the path you have taken. Usualy you don’t take the time, or you don’t care. So what do you do?
Well you comr across something that makes it obvious.
For instance take an artist, Isabelle Terestchenko, in 2008 and come back a year later. Today! Bam. And what do you see? Progress, talent, power. All what you like in Art. I am thrilled by the new artworks that she just sent us, and so that I am sharing with you know. Three other works coming up from her new series.
Work by Isabelle Terestchenko
Mixed media, 2009, Spain
1st of a series of 4 images
This painting was one of the key works of Tany’s last exhibition. It relates to a famous add for a cleaning powder where the characters were wearing t-shirts as white as the background giving a “invisible-man” effect; it also relates to a hoodie by Tany; and to the spirit of dejavu-production: youth, playing and freshness.
This painting has been sold.

This is a short video made by Tany on his exhibition currently held at the Alliance Francaise of Johannesburg – South Africa, until the 6th of December 2008. Following a successful launch on the 27th of November, the 16 oil paintings can be purchased (the ones still available) by contacting Tany. Price list available on request.
Opening on Thursday 27 November at 6pm (The exhibition continues until Saturday 6 December.)
Colours ! Red, Gold and Green. Fed from the start with fresh pop culture, witty advertisement and subversive entertainment Tany has created a world of his own ; where paint and stories come together in a string of unexpected and characteristic portraits. Hip, hop. Come and see this family album of people chanting cacophonously in his imagination.
So who’s He ? The big boy Tany : a Frenchman born in the 80’s and educated in Paris. It’s not what you think ; the multicultural character travels around the globe – hop, hop – to better understand his inner mechanisms. On his journey, stimulated by powerful foreign aesthetics he started creating relentlessly. That is when Tany’s world was created using reminiscences of Damian Hurst, Klimt, Alechinsky, Zeng Fanzhi or Bacon’s works. Soon Tany became father to the dejavu-production.com project, his virtual gallery of multi-disciplinary artistic creations. Welcome to Tany’s land. This November, The Alliance Française will be exhibiting his work for the first time in Johannesburg. Ta-Da !
At the edge of his reasoning, things come deconstructed and meaningless. They float around in his mind and it is unclear to him how they should fit back in. So he mingles, he mixes and what comes out is what you will witness… and most importantly what you will make of it.
