Gilles Charest is an artist whose technique and his search for the use of very unconventional textures find expression in his personal vision of still life. His mastery of colour enables him to create brilliant, fundamentally sensual paintings where harmony transcends. His purity of composition and unusual formats further enhance his ability to breathe more life into his subjects than nature has herself. www.gillescharest.com

Beachfront MODERN
Landry Design Group was commissioned by a corporate chief executive to transform a dated beach house on a premium stretch of sand in Malibu into a dynamic modern residence. Inspired by the sweeping bronze sculptures of Richard Serra, the new design concept was executed by creating forms evocative of the waves and sails that are so quintessentially Malibu. www.landrydesigngroup.com
