Qiu Shihua — Impressions
Past: September 1 → October 6, 2018
Nature has always been the source of Qiu Shihua’s art. While he did indeed begin his career painting outdoors, he would soon discover a preference for working in his studio where he would translate the feelings that nature inspires into paintings. His works are therefore “Natural atmospheres” more so than representations of a physical reality.

Lawrence Carroll — Nothing Gold Can Stay
Past: June 8 → August 3, 2013
The title of the exhibition is a reference to a poem written by the American poet Robert Frost celebrating the lapsed beauty of nature. The poem reflects Carroll’s aesthetics, in perfect harmony with the perishable nature of all things. The title is a citation of the last of the eight lines of the poem, where “dawn goes down to day” and nothing gold can stay.

Brassaï & Dubuffet
Past: April 2 → May 21, 2011
Cette exposition rend visible pour la première fois une réflexion autour d‘un thème qui rapproche d‘une manière étonnante Brassaï et Jean Dubuffet : « Graffiti ». Brassaï et Dubuffet abordent la ville comme une grande cave préhistorique, spectateurs d’une société sauvage et anarchique, dénuée de toute forme d’esthétisme.

Lynn Davis
Past: February 19 → March 25, 2011
Standing in the 19th century tradition of travel photography, Lynn Davis’ photographs reach far beyond this concept of the “cultured traveller”. The artist is not fascinated by exoticism as her predecessors; her investigations invite the beholder to undertake his own spiritual pilgrimage.
