[Peinture et sculpture] Cyprien Desrez et Bérénice Nouvel - Résidences d'artistes 2026

Cuprien Desrez
Hitchhiking, virtual journeys on the internet, gastronomic journeys, literary journeys... at the heart of Cyprien Desrez's practice: travel. Observing, waiting, meeting, telling stories: his cheerful papier-mâché installations are inspired by his travels. Hosted at the art centre in autumn 2022 for the group exhibition Vous êtes ici, the artist returns with a monumental installation devoted to the estuary route, the A84 motorway.

Bérénice Nouvel
Bérénice Nouvel's artistic practice involves a subtle interplay of visual illusions, deliberately destabilising the viewer's perception. [...] She explores the relationship between the false and the real, between the object and the image. Using trompe-l'oeil, Bérénice Nouvel draws on fictitious motifs that conjure up a variety of worlds, from crafts to popular culture and theatrical décor.*
