Matters

Description

For **Jean-Marie Bidet**, matter is an endless exploration territory. Through painting, engraving, and ceramics, he explores the links between matter, light, transparency, and space. Reduced to the essentials, his works open up inner landscapes where color, texture, and emptiness invite silent contemplation. * Presence of the artist on **Sundays 13, 20, and 27 September 2026** Since almost forty years, **Marie-Claire Meier** transforms matter to create unique and poetic works. This metamorphosis is the starting point of her creation. Fibers, once textile or vegetal, are reborn in a contemporary form, while retaining the memory of their first existence. * Paper-matter making demonstration **Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 4:00 PM** **Anje Fontaine** makes dialogue between stoneware, fabrics, enamels, and pigments. Guided by the pleasure of creating and experimenting, she shapes a living matter where gesture, time, and nature leave their mark. Between organic shapes and architectural lines, each work invites a sensitive encounter with matter. * Presence of the artist on **Wednesday, October 7, 2026** **Michel Mouthon** shapes steel in a quest for balance and lightness. Throughout his exploration, the metal reveals an unsuspected richness. Between strength and lightness, his sculptures challenge the laws of gravity, explore tensions and balances, inviting viewers to rediscover this material in an unexpected way.
Vernissage Saturday, September 5, starting at 4:00 PM in the presence of the artists
