Welcome to our artist sanctuary. At Revue {R}évolution, we breathe and live for exceptional art. This is the dedicated section to nurture and champion artists who work in classical genres––a new minority who paint with precision, sculpt with reverence, and create with a nod to tradition.


Discover our initiatives to support you: programs to elevate your craft, fuel your creativity, and even bolster your finances; enriching art residencies, and insightful ethics courses (because, let's face it, AI may cause more problems than solutions in the near future unless you’re prepared).

That's why we offer editorial residencies tailored to your bold spirit. We want you to make an impact, and we're offering the radiance of our platform to help you do just that.


But that's not all – our arsenal of writing, communication, and mentoring courses are designed to equip you with the tools to articulate your artistic brilliance with confidence. Join our funding workshops and glean insights from experienced artists and poets on how to gain the respect and professional recognition you rightfully deserve.

    ART MUSINGS & POETIC TALKS

    A man with glasses is standing next to a tree in a park.
    By David Capps & Murielle Mobengo 06 Apr, 2024
    In the midst of 30 podcast episodes and the hum of my own thoughts, I rediscovered the joy of engaging in lofty conversation. Joining philosopher David Capps in dialogue renewed my editor’s faith in discovering rare pearls amidst the chatter. Our discussion ranged from the unexpected creative value of doodling to the perennial questions of genius, distinguishing the human from the artist, and the importance of tradition in thinking and writing.

    «I am asking the question. Please answer it for yourself first. It is very important to find that out because there is so little beauty in our daily life. Ask yourself, enquire very deeply what is this word used by poets, painters, and sculptors, and you are asking yourself now, what is this quality of beauty.»

    Aux portes de l’Europe et de l’Orient, la guerre, barbarie totale, nous menace tous d’anéantissement. Une autre guerre plus discrète se joue dans nos esprits, cependant. Traditions, langues et cultures ancestrales se dégradent sous les assauts d’une modernité sans projet, une modernité dont le but est de tout cloisonner, de tout dé(const)ruire. Face à ce casus belli total, Revue Révolution invoque la Beauté toute-puissante, éternelle, l’expression mystique de l’effacement de soi devant plus grand que soi.

    Oluwole Omofemi is an international artist from southern Nigeria (Ibadan). His colorful canvases explore universal themes: family tenderness, the sweetness of childhood memories, the mystery of the feminine being and its symbolism, the beauty of Darkness, the darkness of Beauty. Oluwole means 'The Divine has paid us a visit' in Yoruba.

    POETRY IS NOT A TURNING LOOSE OF EMOTION, BUT AN ESCAPE FROM EMOTION; IT IS NOT THE EXPRESSION OF PERSONALITY, BUT AN ESCAPE FROM PERSONALITY. 


    BUT OF COURSE, ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE PERSONALITY AND EMOTIONS KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO WANT TO ESCAPE FROM THESE THINGS.
