More interested by playing with the sense of things than by a determined belief in them, the artist seeks to give his ideas a freedom which subsequently awards his artworks with a certain independence. Scurti’s work is a constant attempt to invert structured systems to differentiate between them, to find links between them and to test them.

These paintings were developed after a trip to Volubilis, an ancient Roman outpost in Morocco. Afterwards in Fez I made a set of tempera paintings with this excursion in mind. Deliriously, I thought of many things alongside the visit — the setting sun in the Utah desert which turns the rocks a blood red.

Altered States stages a series of pieces bound by the phenomena of disappearance and emergence.

Sparse yet sophisticated, Christian Andersson’s installations play with appearances. in exploring the relationships between shadows and light, transparency and reflection, the artist creates true “perception traps.” Systematically, viewers are confronted with a mechanism that obstructs and diverts their preconceptions.

(French only) Ce jeu dʼéditions est rejoint par quelques autres travaux dʼartistes, proches, qui complèteront le premier cercle par une vision personnelle et sentimentale de lʼabstraction : plutôt référencée, narrative, nostalgique. Plus dans la figure et le récit que dans le mythe de lʼautonomie, plus romantique que géométrique, plus ironique que cynique.

With a selection of both historically rare films and recent works made by contemporary artists, the series questions the irresolute nature of colonial history. By putting back into circulation long forgotten, lost or forbidden images or choosing to relate certain colonial motifs or events, these works demand an emancipation from and a critique of colonial studies heritage.

Painting, trace of a poetic reality parallel to this world, a troubling quest for the essential great signs which are at once its truth and that of the Universe, possesses me. Today and always masks leap out at us, speak to us of another realm, distant ancestors, driftwood gods, they carry our history.

Although Cézanne is usually associated with Provence, he cannot be confined to the south of France. He spent more than half of his time as a painter in Paris and its environs. He travelled between Aix en Provence and Paris over twenty times, although, of course, not for the same reasons when he was twenty as when he was sixty.
