This exhibition, organised by Guy Cogeval of the Musee d'Orsay, showcases paintings, programs and prints with sound effects and occasional performances by actors, in a theatrical setting. Viewers move from room to room, like changing scenes in a play.

The periods covered include the French Revolution, French & English Romanticism, to the beginning of the 20th century; from 1789-1914. There are pieces on loan from all over the world including works from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the V&A and Tate in London, and various galleries and private collections in Australia, US, UK, The Netherlands and Canada.

BACK TO THE FUTURE: Young Artists Look To Old Masters

8 October – 8 November 2009

Robilant+Voena / Stair Sainty present ‘BACK TO THE FUTURE: Young Artists look to Old Masters’ Tom Gallant, Sigrid Holmwood, Barnaby Hosking, Graham Little, Justin Coombes, Marta Marce, Paul Morrison, Boo Ritson, Georgia Russell, William Stein, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, Richard Wathen, Mathew Weir and Douglas White alongside Francois Boucher, Pierre-Jacques Volaire, Anne-Louise Girodet-Trioson, Ary Scheffer, Cesare Dandini, Carlo Dolci. Curated by Mira Dimitrova and Mercier Kinney.

“Juxtaposing traditional and contemporary artists is an increasingly popular trend. October 8 sees the London gallery Robilant + Voena unveiling a show in which young British school artists respond to Old Master paintings. Most have been commissioned for the show and include some startling juxtapositions. A dreamy, sensuous piece by Old Master Ary Scheffer has inspired Tom Gallant to make a flowing paper collage like a fluttering of scarves. Paul Morrison has created “Ilex” (2009), a bold silver-on-linen work that reprises the exploding volcano in Pierre-Jacques Volaire’s fiery “Eruption of Vesuvius at Night” (about 1777) and Alexis Teplin’s brightly-coloured oval abstract painting echoes François Boucher’s “Venus Restraining Cupid” (1762). Prices range from £1,800 to £28,000 for the contemporary works, and from £50,000 to £1m for the Old Masters, who include Meissonnier, Carlo Dolci and Nicolas Tournier.”
