The Exhibition takes place from 13 July – 13 August 2021 in the Kamil Art Gallery in Monaco, just a few steps away from the Grimaldi Forum.
Here is a statement from Gallerist Kamil regarding the Artist:
Ecological crisis, political crisis, scientific crisis, health crisis. In more ways than one,
our present age seems to be calling humanity to its day of reckoning. Faced with an
uncertain future, crumbling institutions and an upended truth, art shows more than
ever its full visionary power. Exceptional times call for exceptional artists. The choice
of Eric Massholder is self-evident.
I have known Eric forever and have been amazed by his work for just as long. Despite the effervescence and diversity of the art world, finding an artist of such passion,
creative force, genius, and frenzied production remains a rarity. Each of his works
bears the mark of this unique and precious talent. My faith in the power of Eric’s work
is matched only by my desire to support him as he ascends to the highest levels of
the art world.
Among all of Eric’s works and different series, Monte Verità illustrates more than ever
how relevant his art is and how strongly it resonates with this day and age. Visionary
universe tinged with utopias and shattered dreams, the Monte Verità presented to
us underlines the need for a deeper connection to the world around us. Awareness,
return to basics, insightful introspection: this important series created by Eric confronts
us as much as it guides us through this “hill of truth”.
