And here is his review as written up in Le Figaro:
“Eternal Youth“, Le Figaro
“Fantastic Flamtasia” by Charles Clary at Galerie Evolution-Pierre Cardin
Usually, Parisians are late. Above all for an opening. But, yesterday evening, guests arrived early. Since 6:45pm, handsome gentlemen, elegant women were pressing like butterflies in the black gallery of Pierre Cardin, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, in Paris. Maybe the polar weather helped. The announced presence of the master of ceremony, Cardin in person, seemed to be a powerful magnet. This visionary fashion designer whose “robes bulle” (bubble dresses) catapulted women into the future, this super talented business man who has been the first to build an empire on his name was waited for as the Messiah. Rich European women, patrons dressed in mink coats, bejeweled with diamonds and pheasant plumage; were blowing kisses to the photographers who were taking many photos. In a three-piece suit, the American artist Charles Clary was in seventh heaven. Still a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), this young man, a sturdier Toulouse-Lautrec, was amazed to have an exhibition at the gallery of the fashion designer “It is the chance of my life!”. Someone stated, “Cardin always loves helping young artists”. At 7:42pm, Cardin arrived, like the sun, magnetizing the crowd that was astonished with respect and literally gaping. At 86 years old, the old lion was not denying his pleasure, mastering to perfection his role of Pygmalion, captivating his audience with his particular and rapid voice. He commented that the funny 3-D installations were giving vibrations to the space “the artwork of Charles Clary does not look like anyone else’s work. I fell in love at first sight with his colorful sculptures, which represent the visible sound, which materializes the acoustic waves. In fact, Pierre Cardin has never been hard of hearing.
