GREEN, Spring palettes
Exhibition from March 14th to April 30th 2022
Galerie de la Présidence is going green!
Like a Prévert-style list, neo-impressionist, nabis, fauve, cubist, surrealist, figurative and abstract artists exhibit their spring palettes.
Like nature, which regenerates and adorns itself with its best finery and colors, the works on display are an exaltation of light and color.
In this season, vegetation takes on all shades of green. A source of oxygen and also a source of life. Green embodies freshness, energy, and the future. Present on all artists’ palettes, it is painters’ oxygen!
In the works presented, the compositions come to life and pulsate.
The undergrowth is similar to lungs.
The landscapes breathe fresh air.
Still lifes exhale their scents.
A sense of well-being invades us.
Green makes us dream.
By ignoring reality, it invites us to meditate.
