The exhibition Au Fil des Rencontres, the result of the artistic collaboration between identical twin brothers Tchinan and Ezan, united under the name Tchinezan, invites viewers on a poetic journey where each work becomes a fragment of a human story woven from connections, exchanges, and experiences. Inspired by the richness of human relationships, this series explores how every interaction, whether brief or deep, shapes our lives, our identities, and our view of the world.

​

The title, Au Fil des Rencontres (Through the Threads of Encounters), evokes the image of an invisible thread, both delicate and powerful, that connects souls beyond cultural, geographical, and emotional boundaries. Drawing from their own personal experiences and significant encounters, Tchinan and Ezan express, through their works, the beauty and depth of these connections. Their status as identical twins adds a further layer to their approach, embodying both closeness and individuality—a central theme in their artistic exploration.

​

In this exhibition, the two artists alternate between works created individually and collaborative pieces, offering complementary perspectives on human relationships.

​

Tchinan explores the subtle, invisible bonds that transcend appearances to reveal the essence of our human connections. Through his works, he celebrates the richness of diversity while weaving a collective narrative that illustrates the intimacy of familial bonds and the universality of humanity. Through the saturation and dissolution of his lines, he imparts depth and luminosity to his characters, capturing their individuality. These graphic and varied lines symbolize the threads that bind us to one another. His depictions of everyday life sensitively convey the strength of human ties, symbolizing the universal weave in which each singularity finds its rightful place.

​

On the other hand, Ezan focuses his work on a reflection of identity and the uniqueness of each individual. By placing fingerprints, the ultimate symbols of individuality, at the heart of his aesthetic, he explores the tension between what distinguishes us and what connects us. His characters emerge through these marks of identity, making visible the stories and experiences that shape each of us. This graphic approach underscores both the richness of human experiences and the challenges of individual expression in a world often marked by similarities. Through his works, Ezan invites the viewer to question their place in this collective mosaic that is humanity, where the uniqueness of each person is part of a shared richness.

​

At the heart of Au Fil des Rencontres, Tchinezan poses a fundamental question: How do others transform us? Every encounter, even the most trivial, leaves an indelible mark on the fabric of our lives. The exhibition invites reflection on our role as both weavers and threads in this vast collective tapestry of the human experience.
