Description
Château Saint-Martin & Spa is showcasing the works of the contemporary French artist Ben Arpéa.
EXHIBITION: ‘WHEN THE HORIZON BECOMES MATTER’
BY BEN ARPÉA
On display at Château Saint-Martin & Spa*****
From 1 May to 11 October 2026
This season, the property presents the work of French contemporary artist Ben Arpéa. On view from 1 May to 11 October 2026, the exhibition highlights the artist’s distinctive visual language, blending geometric abstraction with semi-figurative forms through vibrant color fields and richly textured compositions.
Inspired by the Mediterranean, architecture, landscapes and fleeting moments of daily life, Ben Arpéa’s works offer a vision of landscape and still life that feels both contemporary and dreamlike. Through his sensitive use of color and material, the artist belongs to a new generation exploring the dialogue between art, design and the French art de vivre.
For this exhibition, Ben Arpéa drew inspiration from the spirit of Château Saint-Martin & Spa, reinterpreting the property through his own artistic vocabulary. Remaining faithful to his pictorial universe, the artist captures quiet, suspended moments that appear almost untouched by time. While each work originates from a specific space within the château, the series seeks above all to evoke atmosphere : light, silence and subtle balance.
