										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some highlights on this year-end, seen from Cognac land. A totally subjective look which does not claim to reflect the full diversity of what happened here during 12 months.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-3644"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Grapes and cognac</h2>
<p>After two successive tough years with hail and frost occuring a lot of damages on vineyards, everybody crossed fingers to live a « normal » year.&nbsp; Not taking account of theses wishes, hail decided again to cross over a part of our area&#8230; Then a very long period of drought,never seen before in the past years, spread from end of spring till september, which was not optimum conditions, vines got thirsty !</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3648" src="http://livingincognac.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/living-in-cognac-spring-2018.jpg" alt="living-in-cognac spring 2018" width="4032" height="3024"></p>

<p><em>&#8230; and summer time</em></p>
<p>And fortunately, harvest has been one of the most important both in quantity and quality for a while now.</p>
<p>Even if the hot weather was a bit tricky and induced some winegrowers to harvest by night, at the end of the game, smiles were on each face.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The exhibition<strong> Make the invisible visible</strong> retraces both the sources of inspiration of renowned artist Vilhs and the meeting of minds between Maison Hennessy, its innate affinity for the artistic avant-garde illustrated by numerous collaborations with the most pionneering figures of street art, and the portuges artist.</p>
<p><span id="more-3349"></span></p>
<p>After JonOne last year, I told you in <a href="http://livingincognac.com/en/arty-exhibitions-in-cognac-land/">this post</a>, Vilhs unveiled his creative processus and the way he worked with Hennessy to make this artistic collaboration successfull.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>As if we are in his art studio</h2>
<p>More than « just » discover the works created by the artist for Hennessy and his collaboration for the design of Hennessy VS limited edition, the visitor has the opportunity to share in the genesis of their creation, and learn about the sources of inspiration for the works.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3307" src="http://livingincognac.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IMG_7277.jpg" alt="livingincognac Vilhs Hennessy" width="4032" height="3024" /></p>
<h2>From Alexandre Fargo to Vilhs</h2>
<p>Born in an industrial suburb of Lisbon, he began to express himself through graffiti on trains, walls and billboards&#8230; <em>« My graffiti were very classic graffiti name tag as the rest of my crew was doing, we were also the only people who could understand what we were writing, Vilhs was just the 5 letters I could tag the fastest, and people started to call me with this name&#8230; » </em></p>
<p>But after a while, and as adolescents often stopped this experience, Vilhs got tired of communicating only to a small group, and wanted to touch a more important public. In the meantime, he started to see the walls, not just as walls, but as some places absorbing the different layers of urban history.</p>
<p>As he was studying in the famous Saint Martin&rsquo;s School in London, he started to be recognized as an artist. In less than 15 years Vilhs&rsquo;artworks are visible or on <a href="http://vhils.com/exhibitions/">display worlwide</a>.</p>
<h2>The importance of the time</h2>
<p>First time Vilhs came in Hennessy for the collaboration on VS limited edition, he quickly understood some similar process in creation, and especially the time perspective. <em>« For me, it&rsquo;s about the time it takes for the layers of the city to accumulate on the walls, it&rsquo;s about working with things that take time to shape and you simply cannot speed up. Making cognac is very much the same as it takes a so long time to age eaux de vie with so many people involved over the years&#8230; » </em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3331" src="http://livingincognac.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/VHILS_CF096764_JMLUBRANO.jpg" alt="ALEXANDRE FARTO aka VHILS" width="5209" height="3969" /></p>
<h6>Photo credit JMLUBRANO</h6>
<p>Three stars, the famous « bras armé » coat of arms, checkerboard, vines branches, labels of the past, Vilhs has introduced iconic signs of Hennessy DNA.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3308" src="http://livingincognac.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IMG_7280.jpg" alt="livingincognac Vilhs Hennessy" width="4032" height="3024" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The billboard</h2>
<p>The stack of advertising posters is an assembly of Vilhs&rsquo; own urbans collections and a few drawn from Hennessy&rsquo;s own archives. The incisions made with utility knives reveal traces of symbols and codes.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this exhibition our eyes are drawn to the diorama : a work sculpted in polystyren foam. As theses huges portraits visible in many great cities around the world, theses faces seem to ask us, and call us to action in an urban and never ending moving society.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Après <a href="http://livingincognac.com/fr/propositions-so-arty-pays-cognac/">JonOne l</a>&lsquo;an passé, la Maison Hennessy accueille cette année<strong>Vilhs,</strong> un autre artiste issu du street art, dans le superbe bâtiment Wilmotte dédié aux Visites Hennessy :&nbsp; une scénographie sobre et dépouillée&nbsp; qui permet de découvrir l&rsquo;artiste et de percevoir son itinéraire créatif depuis ses premières traces sur les murs de Lisbonne, sa ville natale, jusqu&rsquo;aux cimaises des plus grands lieux d&rsquo;exposition mondiaux.</p>

<h2><strong>Rendre visible l&rsquo;invisible. </strong></h2>
<p>Le titre de l&rsquo;exposition consacrée à Aleandre Farto aka Vilhs interpelle autant que le travail de l&rsquo;artiste. il résume le processus créatif de Vilhs qui a connu une trajectoire fulgurante sur la scène artistique internationale en moins de dix ans. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3307" src="http://livingincognac.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IMG_7277.jpg" alt="livingincognac Vilhs Hennessy" width="4032" height="3024"></p>
<h2>D&rsquo;Alexandre Fargo à Vilhs</h2>
<p>Les trains, les murs, les panneaux publicitaires&#8230; de Lisbonne ont été ses premiers terrains de jeux. Alexandre Farto devient Vilhs à ce moment là, 5 lettres <em>« faciles et rapides à taguer à la bombe »</em>. Mais à l&rsquo;inverse de nombre d&rsquo;adolescents qui signent là un geste de rébellion et d&rsquo;affirmation puis disparaissent du paysage, Vilhs montre déjà toute sa singularité et son talent. Constatant à son grand regret que ses tags sont cesse recouverts ou effacés, il fait évoluer sa technique et son travail. Puis il part étudier à la prestigieuse Saint Martin&rsquo;s school à Londres. C&rsquo;est dans cette&nbsp; ville qu&rsquo;il se fait vite remarquer, il n&rsquo;a que 20 ans ! Dix ans plus tard, ses<a href="http://vhils.com/work/"> oeuvres sont exposées dans le monde entier.</a> Entre temps il est revenu à Lisbonne pour ouvrir son atelier et se créé un point d&rsquo;ancrage dans sa vie d&rsquo;artiste international.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>L&rsquo;oeuvre du temps en commun</h2>
<p><em>« Il y a dans nos productions beaucoup de choses qui se ressemblent comme le fait d&rsquo;attendre l&rsquo;action du temps. Je dois attendre que le temps fasse son travail, que les couches de la ville s&rsquo;accumulent sur les murs. Ensuite on travaille avec des effets qui requièrent du temps pour prendre forme et cette partie ne peut être achevée plus rapidement. Le processus de création du congnac est assez comparable puisqu&rsquo;il demande un temps long également ». Vilhs </em></p>
<p>Les oeuvres créées pour cette exposition et celle réalisée pour l&rsquo;édition limités VS Hennessy, se sont nourries des inspirations de Vilhs au sein même des archives de la Maison et de ses visites au coeur des métiers et des savoir-faire.</p>

<p>Trois étoiles, un bras armé, des pampres de vignes, des éléments iconographiques forts se dévoilent partiellement sur les oeuvres. L&rsquo;exposition permet ainsi au visiteur de découvrir comment l&rsquo;artiste a procédé pour créer le design de l&rsquo;édition limitée de Hennessy Very Spécial, comme s&rsquo;il se trouvait dans l&rsquo;atelier de Vilhs.</p>

<h2>Le processus créatif</h2>
<p><em>« Creuser dans les couches du temps n&rsquo;est pas revenir en arrière, mais plutôt faire remonter à la surface des couleurs, des dessins, des lettres du passé pour les rendre visibles »<br />
</em></p>

<p>La trajectoire fulgurante de Vilhs sur la scène internationale ne saurait laisser indifférent. Plus de 200 portraits puissants et interrogateurs sur nous-même sont disséminés à travers les grandes capitales mondiales sur tous les continents. Ils portent le même questionnement de l&rsquo;artiste soucieux de la condition humaine dans un univers urbain en constante évolution.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vilhs pratique le <em>recyclage</em> en récupérant des matériaux rejetés par la civilisation urbaine. Des portes de maisons abandonnées se transforment au gré de son génie créatif face à ce matériau du quotidien. Il travaille avec une lame très fine des millefeuilles d&rsquo;affiches publicitaires, attaque à l&rsquo;acide des plaques de métal destinées au rebut, sculpte au marteau piquer ou à l&rsquo;explosif des bas reliefs de façades délabrées.</p>
<p>Des actes de « destruction créative » comme il s plaît à qualifier sa démarche singulière qui lui permettent de rendre visible l&rsquo;invisible.</p>
<p>Pour mieux saisir la profondeur et l&rsquo;authenticité de la démarche de Vilhs, le parcours de l&rsquo;exposition se termine par le regard posé par le visiteur sur une oeuvre originale créée pour Hennessy. En la regardant alternativement de près et de loin, le visiteur peut percevoir combien la distance donne du relief et du sens à l&rsquo;oeuvre de l&rsquo;artiste.</p>
