From 20 September 2024 to 20 December 2024 at Château l’Hospitalet Wine Resort Beach & Spa *****
The 1st “Biodynamic Art” Collection by
Be Alive For All Life
A collection paying tribute to Life, Nature and Biodynamics.
A collection unlike any other.
All works are 100% natural and made from non-toxic materials.
About the Artists
Kimberley and Thianam.
Born and raised in the grasslands of the Netherlands.
Since 2018, we have embarked on a transformative journey. We have lived and travelled alone in our vans. Kimberley transformed her van into an Art Studio and Thianam his into a Music Studio. We have lived self-sufficiently for almost five years, mainly in the Arctic regions of the North.
Immersed in nature, we have learned from the wilderness. We have taken time to breathe. We have drawn inspiration from nature’s wisdom. After this profound life experience and period of reflection, we realised that we are all Connected to All Life on Earth; we are One. Let us support one another on our journeys.
This is the Heart, Soul and Essence of our Art.
Our foundation:
Be Alive For All Life
Gérard Bertrand’s inspiring words
“When I first met Thianam and Kimberley, I greatly appreciated their vision of the world, their connection with nature and their interest in Biodiversity. Their creative momentum and the originality of their work, using only natural materials at the boundary
between painting and sculpture, deeply resonated with me.
The work they have undertaken to bring to light
the spirit of our estates is innovative and aligned with the values we uphold.
Blending earth, stone, plants and natural pigments offers an unprecedented visual language, creating a singular harmony and impetus.
Biodynamics is magnified, as its essence is revealed through art in a truly disruptive way. I am delighted to help reveal the profound soul
and the genuine alchemy that exists between Thianam and Kimberley.
I encourage you to come in great numbers to discover
this timeless exhibition.”
"We Are One"
The first Masterpiece we created together,
this work of art represents the Earth
and reflects our care for All Life.
It carries the essence of all that we have to share and helps us remember that
we are but One.
The Masterpiece “One Earth” is created from the Earth’s own natural resources.
The Creation
We worked with 7 unique biodynamic terroirs
from Gérard Bertrand’s wine estates
and transformed them
into 7 works of art connected to biodynamics:
The Terroirs:
Château de Villemajou, Château l’Hospitalet,
Domaine de l'Aigle, Château La Sauvageonne,
Clos du Temple, Clos d'Ora, Villa Soleilla.
Before visiting each terroir to collect it,
we studied its identity, the message of the place,
the wine and its history.
To express the terroir and the element
we represent, we had to undertake an
artistic exploration.
We had to invent and use
unique techniques. For certain works,
we even had to create installations and
special settings.
When we collect soils, they must be
transformed into usable materials and pigments.
Stones are selected/separated from the soils, washed with
water and dried in the sun. Ready to be ground by
hand in a marble vessel to specific sizes
and measurements.
Trees/vines: the bark is separated by hand,
cleaned and naturally treated.
Then, the vines are cut into small pieces.
We create a fire where the embers are separated from the
ashes.
Once cooled, they are ready to be processed.
Soils and Clays: the most important soils and clays
are collected in bulk, then selected by hand and
dried in the sun.
“4 Elements and the 5th”
Life is everywhere and in everything.
The raw elements are the foundation
of all life and existence on Earth.
All essential elements are needed to be Alive,
including us.
We are all connected to one another
and are part of the infinite universe.
Earth – Water – Air – Fire
& the Universe
The story behind this unique exhibition
In the summer of 2023, we received the call to share
and felt the need to do so in the most
authentic way possible.
Life, Art & Nature
We embraced the challenge of creating 100% natural art in
self-sufficiency from a van. It all began with a camping
tent that we transformed into a miniature art studio
by the river, surrounded by nature.
We took care to ensure that every work was pure
and non-toxic. We chose to study every
ingredient before using it.
With the River and the Sun
After three months of unwavering dedication and
work using only natural elements,
we created a unique representation
of the Earth in a multidimensional way,
celebrating its biodiversity.
This collection of Biodynamic art was created in a very special place.
We are deeply grateful to Gérard Bertrand for
giving us the opportunity to create this unique collection in a
very special family estate, a peaceful place called
Château de Villemajou, in Corbières Boutenac, France.
During our artistic residency in the historic buildings of the Château,
we set up our art studio.
In this distinctive, magical terroir, set at a
magnificent vantage point overlooking the sunset, surrounded by hills
and vineyards, we found ourselves in the ideal setting to
develop our life experiences and nature’s wisdom. We
did everything we could to create works
that are unique and full of meaning.
“3 Iconic Messages & Terroir”
Special presentation of
Clos d’Ora, Villa Soleilla, Clos du Temple
Gérard Bertrand’s Iconic Wines convey a distinctive message.
Each of these Iconic Terroirs has inspired us to give these works of art a unique dimension.
Clos d'Ora
For the symbol, we positioned 217 pieces of glass, each covered by hand.
Villa Soleilla
In the background, you can see 360 hand-sculpted rays and points.
Clos du Temple
The symbol is made entirely of schist (stone).
All works of art are 100% natural and non-toxic
Created from the Earth’s own pure sources.
Handmade paint and pigments.
Energised water from the River of the Black Mountains.
The canvas is made of organic wood. All works of art are
fitted with their bespoke integrated aluminium frame,
with lighting as a final touch to create
a unique, multidimensional experience.
Pure Art reflects, shares and reconnects us with
the Oneness of Life and Earth.
