For Malagasy artists, Madagasyart is an unmissable event. For young artists like Dynarah Ralaison, it is an entry into the course of the big
At the age of 15, Dynarah Ralaison, painter and Valihist, is one of the 25 artists on the poster of the Madagasyart festival. Since May 29, three of his paintings have been around the prestigious setting of 59 Rivoli, in the heart of the French capital. A great first for this young artist who exhibits for the first time under other skies.
Young enthusiast, Dynarah Ralaison chose to exhibit “Cap on Madagascar”. Inspired by the film “Madagascar”, King Julian and Morty are put forward on a canoe sailing around the Big Island. It is a work of mixed art that combines acrylic painting techniques with the elements of papier mache, string and fabric. This creates a unique texture and depth, as well as a palette of various artistic colors and expressions. His second painting recalls the Korean series “Life will bear fruit” on Netflix. “Haenyeo”, these diving women from the island of Jeju in South Korea, symbols of courage and disconcerting ease of adaptation. It is an artistic creation that mixes traditional pictorial techniques and unconventional materials. Gas pastel and acrylic combined together with shell and plastic. On “La Sirène”, the artist chose the technique of the Impasto. A canvas that expresses a strong emotion and a particular feeling of the sleeping siren on Ditch Plains Beach beach in Montauk. Globalization obliges, there is its Malagasy roots as well as influences from other cultures.
Namely that Dynarah Ralaisoa made her very first exhibition in 2022 at the CGM/Gz Analakely. At the age of twelve, she presented 17 acrylic canvases and a glass painting. Since then, she has continued to refine her art. And if the Madagasyart festival usually brings together an audience of professionals in the business, the invitation addressed to the painter Dina Rabearivelo testifies to a real recognition of his talent and the quality of his work. In addition, his works go in the direction of the theme “Manga Lavitra” which signs the 10 years of existence of this meeting of Malagasy contemporary artists bringing together several artistic disciplines. However, it embodies a generation of rising stars which makes tradition a fertile soil for innovation and paradoxically, modernity contributes to the safeguard of the heritage.
