TIDRU – "Behind the walls"
Exhibition from 20/12/2023 to 25/10/2024
The plastic artist TIDRU presents « Behind the walls » exhibition.
Tidru's singular ceramic figures may seem wise and introspective, but the drawings that cover them reveal what lies inside or behind the walls of the body and appearance.
[We can imagine a light that projects the story of the individual from the inside out, the drawings being in a way the resulting play of shadows"].
Sculptures in terracotta/engobe/mixed media and drawing (watercolour, coloured pencils, collage, etc.)
Next exhibition : MINA MOND - ‘La Haute Chasse’ (The High Hunt)
Exhibition from 20/12/2024 to 25/10/2025
Accustomed to epic scenes with strong symbolism, Mina Mond tackles fantastic hunts in this exhibition.
Interpreted from different angles, Mina Mond places today's world within the realm of the legendary.
Folklore, whose grammar is universal, enables her to tackle current issues while preserving both mystery and discovery in the form of an initiatory journey for the viewer. His narrative, strongly influenced by that of illuminations, plays with light and shadow.
Creating a liminal world, teeming between dream and reality, Mina Mond invites you to take a journey of the eye and the mind.
‘Enclore’, a work of land art by Marie-Hélène RICHARD (44)
In residence at the abbey from the beginning of May 2022, Marie-Hélène Richard devoted herself to the creation of a work of land art installed for a short time in the abbey grounds, where the cloister used to be: ‘The circular space is closed to us. Access is no longer possible. You can only look in from the outside. Inside, all human intervention is impossible.
Over the years, this cloister has been the central pivot in the lives of hundreds of monks.
I can imagine the quadrangular architecture that existed at the time, the galleries that were walked over and over again to get between the buildings, the places entirely dedicated to human beings, to their spiritual and physical protection, in the circus of wild mountains around them. Today, our anthropocentric footprint crushes all landscapes. The intention is to put Nature at the heart of a place where man has lived for centuries.
Close off the centre of the old cloister with a large circle of branches. Let time rewild the patches of lawn and the cross of paths’. M.-H. Richard
