Eddy Maniez uses geometry in a way that both simplifies and complicates the art. The main shape of the piece is simple, but the silicone dots and the Swarovski crystals add visual interest.

Artists & collectors united for a common cause

GemlucArt increases in prestige celebrating its 11th Anniversary, from September 19-27, 2019, hosting a Contemporary Art Exhibition at the Rainier III Auditorium in Monaco, with 135 local and international talented artists committed to the fight against cancer. GemlucArt counts with the continuous support of Georges Marsan, the dynamic Mayor of Monaco, loyal partners and sponsors.

GemlucArt has become a sine qua non annual artistic exhibition, but also an important fundraiser, thanks to generous art lovers who purchase the unique artworks exhibited. The theme used as a creative guideline this year was: “Silence, there is a rumor going around”, in French “Silence, bruit court”, that surely inspired talented artists’ expression.

An exceptional Jury

GemlucArt gains in prestige every year, thanks to the participation of international artists, an experienced international jury of museum curators and art critics that selected the best artworks of the 2019 edition, and a highly professional organizing team, led by the enthusiastic dynamic duo of Laurence Garbatini and Yvon Kergal, with the support of Francois Jean Brych, that worked long hours succeeding in assembling a high quality exposition. Their efforts have not been in vain and the results are evident, as the exhibition is a highly anticipated art event, for artists, art lovers and collectors alike, gaining a special place in the art calendar of the Principality.

Business teams up with Art to improve health

GEMLUC (Monaco Group of Companies in the Fight Against Cancer) is a non-government charitable association created in 1973, presided by Dr. Beatrice Brych and under the honorary presidency of H.R.H. Princess Caroline of Hanover.

Gemluc’s mission is to raise funds to support clinical research, assist those suffering from the disease and their families, and contribute to prevention, screening and care.

Through their annual charity contest-exhibition GemlucART, they raise funds for medical research to find a cure, purchase state of-the-art materials for hospitals, assist patients and their families, and create awareness about prevention, detection and care by drawing the public attention through the magic of artist expression.

GemlucArt invites the public, increasing in number every year, to discover artists working in Monaco and those coming from different coins of the world, while creating awareness and raising funds for the fight to eradicate the devastating disease.

The organizers succeeded in making of this exhibition a landmark both in terms of contemporary art as well as innovation in fundraising, together with their annual fundraising dinner “Soiree de l’Espoir” at the Automobile Club of Monaco.

To help people suffering from the disease means also to help specialists so they have access to state-of-the-art material on the edge of technology, or funds to continue their research to find a cure. The Scientific Center in Monaco, and the Princess Grace Hospital Center benefited from financial donations by Gemluc during the last few years, as well as the Urology service of Dr. Herve Quintens. Their generosity extends beyond the frontiers of the Principality, such us the Antoine-Lacassagne center in Nice, France, receiving a donation to support medical studies not covered by public funds.

The theme for GemlucArt 2020

The theme for next year will be Porte blanche, porte noire, toc, toc, that in English would translate to White Door, Black Door, knock knock.  Artists wishing to participate in 2020, please visit the GemlucArt website for updated information and registration.
