TRIBUTE
Yesterday, Monday, January 16, the world lost an iconic figure of cinema and art. David Lynch, filmmaker, visual artist, and visionary, passed away, leaving behind an unmatched legacy. At Galerie Idan Wizen, we wish to pay tribute to this extraordinary man whose work has deeply influenced not only cinema but also my own vision as an artist and gallery owner.

EXHIBITION
“Splash” is an ambitious exhibition dedicated to the provocative and subversive work of Gérard Rancinan, a choice I made to share a singular vision of contemporary art. For decades, Rancinan has examined the upheavals of our society, the major issues of our time, and the struggles of his contemporaries through his sharp, spectacular eye. His striking works showcase the contrasts between light and shadow, revealing both the flaws and strengths of humanity. He explores the profound duality of Man – this ordinary being, filled with dreams and contradictions, always searching for meaning. His powerful, intense photographs confront our gaze, questioning our values and aspirations. They bear witness to a society in perpetual change, with each image embodying a mirror reflecting our hopes, anxieties, and shared humanity.

Jaroslav is a London-based photographer and artist known for his bold creativity and innovative technical approach. Specializing in Fine Art photography, he has gained recognition for his mastery of “liquid photography,” where he uses real liquids such as milk, water, and paint to create dynamic and surreal effects. One of his most iconic projects, “Milky Pin-Ups,” reimagines the classic pin-up style by crafting outfits entirely from splashing milk, showcasing his expertise in both photography and digital compositing.
Dina Goldstein's artistic journey spans over three decades, beginning as a photojournalist and eventually evolving into an independent artist with a focus on elaborate narrative photography. Her work is a testament to her intricate social commentary, blending cultural archetypes and collective imagery with narratives rooted in the human experience. Drawing from surrealism, Dina constructs compositions that lay bare the underbelly of contemporary life, challenging prevailing cultural influences and deep-seated belief systems.
In 2007, Dina Goldstein embarked on a specific journey, fueled by personal experiences and a critical view of the "happily ever after" narrative perpetuated by Disney and embraced by Western society. As a feminist and new mother, she took issue with the stereotypical portrayals of women and girls in Disney's stories. Her series "Fallen Princesses" (2007-2009) features humanized fairy tale princesses confronting modern-day challenges like cancer, addiction, obesity, war, and environmental degradation. This poignant work earned her the Prix Virginia in 2014, an international prize for women photographers, and led to exhibitions in Paris, Quebec and in the United States.
Dina's subsequent project, "In The Dollhouse" (2012), unfolds within an intricately conceptualized, life-sized dollhouse inhabited by human Barbie and Ken dolls. In this alternative reality, Barbie undergoes a transformation by cutting her iconic blond locks, while Ken embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The series sparks discussions about unattainable beauty ideals, the myth of perfection, and the relationship between beauty, power, and happiness. "In The Dollhouse" has been widely exhibited, including a feature in the Musee D'Orsay's Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera catalog and inclusion in the FotoMuseo collection in Colombia.
Her ambitious project "Gods Of Suburbia" (2014) delves into the world of established and fringe religions. Deities from various traditions are portrayed as mortal, adapting to the challenges of modern life. By offering an iconoclastic interpretation of how ancient belief systems intersect with modernity's pillars—technology, science, and secularism—Dina's surreal creations prompt viewers to contemplate the relevance of ancient ethics and enduring belief systems. The series has been exhibited internationally, with "The Last Supper" finding particular resonance in Italy.
Justine Darmon was born in Paris in 1973 and discovered her passion for film photography in 1990 when her parents gifted her a Nikon FE and her grandmother passed down her old Rolleiflex. Quickly enchanted by the magic of the darkroom, she dreamed of pursuing photography professionally, but her family humorously encouraged her to follow a different path, saying, “You're not serious when you're 17…”.
After completing advanced studies in Social Policy and Society, Justine Darmon embarked on a career in Human Resources, specializing in managing human crises. Behind the masks, she learned to capture authentic emotions, revealing the true nature of individuals.
In 2015, she finally decided to pursue her passion fully and dedicated herself entirely to art photography. In less than ten years, her works have been exhibited in various galleries and festivals through remarkable collections such as "Music’Spirits," "Ambivalences," "Le Clown et la Danseuse," "Eclipse," "Cuba, Beyond Colors," "Les Lames de l’Âme," and "Sortir de son ombre."
Justine Darmon's work explores a dreamlike universe, rich in symbols and references to collective memory. Inspired by the fairy tales and legends of her childhood, Renaissance and ancient painters, as well as humanist photographers and digital artists, she creates a gateway to her own dreams.
Through a subtle interplay of textures, shadows, and lights, Justine Darmon highlights the timeless and mysterious nature of her photographs. She encourages viewers to freely interpret her images, exploring their ambivalence and symbolic richness. Her interest particularly focuses on religious and mystical phenomena as collective reflections of society’s hopes and fears.
