No Name is a new platform launched by the art advisor Patricia Marshall, located in the 8th arrondissement in Paris. For No Name’s first project: an exhibition curated by Victoire de Pourtalès, entitled A Spatial Manifestation and featuring the work of artists Olivier Mosset and SoiL Thornton.  Both artists present work influenced by their experience of America. Olivier Mosset exhibits two new monochromes, titled Lily II and Lily III, using a palette of orange and dust pink soil of Arizona, the artist’s adopted home after years of living and working in Paris. Part of a series of horizontally or vertically-assembled canvases, the works are witnesses of the painter’s return to what seems like a standardized, constructivist format; a perpetual subtraction of the subjective to come closer, by the same occasion, to the limits of painting itself.

The free, self-fictive work of SoiL Thornton revolves around, but never quite touches, the quest of identity. Alongside Olivier Mosset, the artist presents pieces with a particular geographical significance, assembling panels painted at symbolic landmarks of the two twinning cities of their hometown New York and host-town Paris. Found objects are assembled in compelling compositions, where fragments of urban detritus meet natural elements like soil. A permanent relation between biomorphic forms and geometrical forms creates abstract and hidden constellations between the works that they exhibit today alongside the monochromes of Olivier Mosset.
