EXHIBITION "Landscapes talks"

EXHIBITION "Landscapes talks"
FROM 22 JULY TO 6 SEPTEMBER 2025
AT 46 ST PAUL GALLERY

Questioning landscape in the digital age means going back to basics: questioning the relationship between artistic creation and the representation of reality, the place of man as spectator, referring back to the Romantic tradition, how can we envisage landscape as an artistic theme today? Between the phenomena of overpopulation, deserts and a return to lives far removed from rampant urbanity, what does this relationship with the landscape say about our desires, our dream lives, between the ideal and disenchantment? Jean-Paul Agosti explores Colette's landscapes around Saint-Sauveur en Puisaye, the forests and marshes that the writer of Le Blé en herbe loved to evoke. Alice Magne collects dye plants from the landscape, a reminder of the primitive practice of using natural elements to create pigments, but also of collecting, the artist's time of exploration in the landscape, allowing contemplation before making her mark on a canvas. The colour and repetitive motifs are a subtle reminder of their origins, while at the same time creating unique and original materials and motifs to create a work of art.

Artists represented: AGOSTI, Amélie CHASSARY, LOUMI, MAGNE Alice, Beck MARSHALL.
