Pilots and artists - both artists represented, Rémy de Haenen and Isabelle Lindbergh are pilots and artists themselves!

Rémy de Haenen carries his father's legendary legacy as the first pilot to land in St Barth, founder of Eden Rock and the first Mayor of St Barth. Rémy was born in the Caribbean island of Martinique but spent his childhood in St Barth and has the fondest memories and incredible stories to tell! 

His paintings are based mostly of his memories of the paradisiac island. Rémy's oil painting represented this year in the Salon des Artistes, represents the typical image of the ladies of Corossol wearing a traditional white bonnet and red dress.

Rémy could be an excellent contestant for the Plastic Arts winning category.

Isabelle Lindbergh had her first solo exhibition at Space Gallery in March 2023 with her "Spirit of the Wind" series. Isabelle also carries her grandfather's legacy as he was the American aviator Charles Lindbergh, (the first to cross the North Atlantic non-stop, in May 1927). Isabelle was inspired by her grandfather and is training to be a pilot herself.

Although born in Senlis near Paris, Isabelle has spent many years in St Barth and considers it her second home. Her focus has now turned to fine art and having the freedom to explore her full creative vision.

Her dramatic photograph that does not go unnoticed in the Wall House is entitled "Connections" it belongs to her "Spirit of the Wind" Series which represents the connection between nature, the human form and the silver fabric that captures the wind into physical form - all are a symbol of life and movement, of how our spirit is connected to everything around us. This incredibly powerful piece was taken in Salines in St Barth.

Isabelle could be an extremely competitive candidate for the Photography prize criteria of this year's edition of the Salon des Artistes.

Roger Moreau has his heart in Saint Barth! His famous Coeur de St Barth sculptures are immediately recognisable, and can be spotted in breath taking sites around the Island. This specific piece is a Bronze Heart, cast from the natural stone from Saint Barthélemy. 

A loveable piece to add to any home, and an excellent candidate for the sculpture category of the Salon des Artistes this year.

Charles Moreau is not only the Director of the Wall House Territorial Museum and its program but also a talented artist that Space Gallery St Barth proudly represents.

His paintings are very detailed and symbolic. He confided to us that he likes to paint objects in their real dimensions, and enjoys the challenge of doing so. To celebrate the 2nd Edition of the Salon des Artistes, Charles Moreau chose to paint the typical beer bottle of the Island, Carib, to the exact size as one can find in any bar close by. 

Charles invites all to come visit the Exhibition, to admire, observe and vote for their favourite pieces. May the best artist win!

Inspired by the French Salon des Artistes which began in the 19th century in Paris, the object of this event in St Barth proposed by the Wall House Museum is both simple and popular. It's to bring people together, make culture accessible to all and invite especially the younger generation to view the pieces and inspire them to do great things in future.
