Mona Oren exhibition in February at the Avant Galerie Vossen

Caroline Vossen chose to exhibit the theme From the Tulip to the Crypto Marguerite at the Avant Galerie to create a dialogue between a dozen artists in which crypto art is displayed in the foreground. She was interested in the Tulipomania phenomenon as it was the first notional bubble during the 17^th Century.

Mona Oren exposes her Wax Tulip Mania between small interactive screens and a flowery drawing by Botero.

She launched her project in her Parisian studio last June and it has become her first commercial subject.

Over the months, her delicate wax tulip began to take shape. She continued to improve the quality of the material; allowing for the flexibility of its stem and petals to become unbreakable. White, black, and speckled each flower can be manipulated in many ways.

Mona occasionally works with a few assistants to transmits this singular savoir-faire, « As soon as a person enters the intimacy of the studio, they learns the techniques step-by-step, a few months are not enough to master this art form » explains the sculptor who has been practicing the technique of art via wax for twenty years.

At the Avant Galerie, Mona would like her tulips to be accessible to as many people as possible. She created her own distribution platform, a market without intermediaries, through the image of digital art. The wax tulips are then photographed and geolocated by customers. This performance is recorded on her site where the collective work takes shape as a constellation of interconnected points.

Her objective? To be able to make a field of 10,000 tulips by weaving floral links in these greyish and confined times.
