Many heterogeneous sources are invited to this exhibition to express concerns about the practice of painting, through contact with art history, history of feminism, and perhaps even the history of women in the arts. Each work operates as the beginning of a series, in which “male” masters are criticized as much as they are celebrated.

The sketch is a very important stage in the development of a painting, a sculpture or a book: it is through it that the author tries to fix the main lines of the work. Ample, vibrant, unruly, the vocation of the sketch, in Loris Gréaud’s project, is to fix in a rough and uninhibited way, by a few gestures, the formal and conceptual structure of the work: its essential intentions are thus laid down.
