Take a breath

In the exhibition Take a Breath from 15 to 31 March 2018, each of the 14 artists on show brought to mind the need and necessity to take a breath.

Breath, a notion that is both immaterial and vital, is apprehended in this event through the interplay of looks that are as complex as they are multiple.

Between saturation and a peaceful moment, it is in the pauses that this mechanism becomes palpable and real. This visual and narrative rhythm is told to us through the graphic work, both figurative and abstract, of the painters who have taken up the subject, offering the public a new experience of these innate and sometimes forgotten sensations.

From the overwhelming density of cities to the general torpor, relationships between people suffer from an asphyxiation where artifice and silence have taken precedence. We need to breathe. On the occasion of the arrival of spring and through a selection of artists sensitive to the subject, the exhibition constitutes a general breath in a bubble of oxygen in the heart of Paris, to escape in universes as luxurious as light sometimes dense and wild.
