For Immediate Release Paris,
France, 20 November 2008: The next group
art exhibition Passion for life will be held from November
21st-30, 2008 at the Grand Palais in Paris, in support
of the Institut Curie. Following several art exhibition
in Italy, Mexico, the Principality Monaco, Passion for
life is invited in Paris, France, under the banner of
the prestigious Société des Artistes Indépendants.
Following the invitation of the President of the Society,
Mrs. Franckie Tacque, and her Board of Directors, 15
International Artists will exhibit their art for a humanitarian
cause: the fight against cancer. A
small group of innovative artists, Paul Cézanne,
Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Camille Pissarro
and Founders Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Cross,
Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, founded the Salon des Indépendants
in 1884. In a movement of defiance, after the Commune,
the Néo-Impressionists painters, tired from being
refused by juries of the official Salon, they decided
to create their own Salon, with the base principle of
"no jury, nor reward". The
Passion for life Program, having one of its objectives,
to collect funds for the fight against cancer, was founded
by Antoine Gaber, impressionist artist painter, and
cancer researcher in drug development mostly for cancer
therapies. In each Country where the Passion for life
exhibition was held, the funds raised have been entirely
provided to a charitable organization or a local pre
selected association assisting locally. This upcoming
November, in Paris Passion for life will support the
Institut Curie. Founded
in 1909 based on a conceptual model created by Marie
Curie, the Institut Curie now gathers 2000 researchers,
doctors and health care professionals mobilized with
the same focus: take over cancer with speed. Recognized
Foundation with its public support since 1921, the Institut
Curie has for mission to bring to cancer patients the
best available treatments and a multidisciplinary approach
while quickly making available the most recent advancement
in research. Participating

The "Passion for life" program was initiated to continue to increase the awareness of cancer but also to the need to raise additional research funds to support our ongoing efforts to fight cancer," said Antoine Gaber, Canadian Impressionist painter.
"Passion for Life" is an innovative and unique promotion, even more, because it now leverages the art Comunittee around the world with the significant support of the Biennale of Florence, in addressing an important issue that is close to all of us around the world. "I am extremely optimistic about our futur success as with my Fellow artist from around the world, we will join efforts to support the same cause". said Antoine Gaber. |
" Antoine Gaber's " Passion for Life" initiative is amazing, he has worked in Breast Cancer Research for many years contributing to the development of several breast cancer drugs, and now he is using his internationally recognized artistic talent to contribute to raise money for cancer research and awareness. "
" Having worked for several years in cancer clinical research,
Antoine's passion for life and the well being of patients are reflected
not only in his clinical research work, and his art, but in the
philanthropic causes he supports. Antoine's vision and focus have
always been toward making our world a better one," said
Professor Kathleen Pritchard, from the Toronto Sunnybrook Cancer
Center, Canada, and an internationally renown breast cancer specialist.

| "Passion for Life" Artist Statement As a cancer researcher, I have come to appreciate how precious life truly is. From the journey faced by those fighting to overcome illness, to the artistic endeavors I have experienced as I continue through my journey of self-expression, one becomes acutely aware life is more than simply existing. It truly is a celebration. If you choose to embrace every day to the fullest; mixing it with a sense of wonder and purpose, you, too, will discover your inner peace. You, too, will realize your passion for life. |

Art Critic comments about Gaber's artwork: Unedited quotes
Prof. John T. Spike, Critic and Art Historian (New York), former Director of Florence Biennale
"Antoine Gaber is revisiting the impressionists with a fresh eye and his own sensibility. Gaber has immersed himself in the glories of Impressionism. His brush and heart are dedicated to making the art of the impressionists the art of today.
Prof. Matty Roca, Critic and Art Historian; Member of the International Art Critics Association (AICA), (Mexico)
" Through Antoine Gaber pictorial voyage, one encounters color, and nature with the Artist own style of painting and brushstrokes. Self-taught artist, his starting point is his interest in all "creative evolution of things" and through his emotions and sensibility his interpretation of nature and details, becomes alive.
The mastering of his impressionistic style delivers in his art, the creation of contrast, tones, and a special rhythmic dynamism of light and of shade, are without any doubts, his strongest points.
The poetical reading of his artwork provides a universe of internal peace and silence. One can imagine being in a bucolic (pastoral) landscape filled with flowers and, a pond dotted with water lilies that irrevocably leads in his profound inhabited emotions felt during the creation of his paintings. "
