Landscape-wood: taming the plant world

Landscape-wood: taming the plant world

This exhibition will bring together 7 artists who, through their different points of view, enter into a relationship with a founding element: plants. It is the dialogue between man and nature that appears in the landscape. The landscape, made up of both the viewer and the viewee, indicates that an intimate encounter is taking place. It reminds us that we are made up of a set of relationships that extend from the sky to the earth, passing through the subterranean world of our roots and the airy atmosphere of the winds that turn our heads to put us in touch with the invisible.

Anne Marie Finné composes bucolic scenes from different perspectives that take the eye on a journey, while on scratchy carbon paper, the abstract atmosphere of the wooded landscape comes back to us.

Nathalie van de Walle’s prints reveal spaces saturated by urban greenery left to its own devices.

Jipeng Ke focuses on the density of foliage in dialogue with the colours of the plant world.

Roby Comblain’s wood prints show how the texture of wood becomes an interlocutor.

Using fire as a guide, Gérald Dederen transforms the raw material to give wood a charred form in which emptiness and hollows appear in full vitality.

Aline Forçain also uses the burnt wood technique to create landscapes that invite us to touch them with our fingers.
