FMA Art Publishing is proud to announce the artist's book of LE TEMPS PARTAGÉ . A rare and precious limited edition book of 10 unpublished poems by Marc Alyn and Nohad Salameh , renowned literary figures, illustrated with original works by the painter and engraver Bernard Alligand , whose bibliophilic work is featured in many institutions. Poems and artistic works form a dizzying dialogue on time, an inexhaustible source in literature.
FMA Art Editions offers a unique sensory experience.
This collection is a tribute to the time shared by the two poets , a ceaseless exploration of the love of language where each moment lived together becomes a form of eternity sublimated by words.
The painter and engraver Bernard Alligand develops a work linked to nature, time and space. At the border of abstraction and figurative , he is constantly looking for new techniques, draws from the places he crosses to use the materials collected. For more than 30 years, he has collaborated with many poets and illustrated artist's books. In his painted works for LE TEMPS PARTAGÉ, Bernard Alligand creates a tension between the ephemeral (human existence) and the eternal (the universe), transcends the linear perception of time by a play of mirrors and geometric shapes, symbolizes the birth and expansion of the universe in contrasting red and black colors, dotted with silver and gold stars.
