Charles Le Hyaric , France
Ouvrir les yeux sous l'eau
"Ouvrir les yeux sous l'eau", 2022, Peinture à l'huile, crayon à papier et sucre sur toile190 x 130 cm
The exhibition is the receptacle of a simple act: to leave for the sea – to swim, then to repeat the action daily, to feel the weightlessness, to open the eyes under water. To lose oneself in the atmosphere of azure, ultramarine, turquoise blues; to see the sky upside down, to pick up stones, to distinguish organic forms, creatures and to leave in the spaces of the mental matter.
Then return to the studio and freeze these forms. The alchemy of materials and images then meet to compose fragments of landscapes, of sensations. Here a golden spot in the shape of a fish floats in the middle of the rock, there salt crystals combined with gold powder give way to an attempt at a cosmos on a sheet of paper, next to it a sentence is drawn on a white pebble…
The project is evolving: an immersive installation will welcome visitors who will then discover a set of new pieces where paintings, sculptures and drawings interact.
Exhibition from May 26 to July 20, 2023.

The gallery
Since 1989, Galerie Papillon is esteemed for its cutting-edge program that brings together French and foreign artists - both emerging, established and mid-career - sharing a common sense of poetry and irony. The gallery offers them a vast playground in its 250 m2 main space sur cour, while its second space on the first floor is dedicated to spotlight presentations or more exclusive invitations.
By joining forces, Marion and Claudine Papillon give Galerie Papillon its identity: two generations who collaborate together while complementing each other and sharing the same unchanging values and vision: to offer artists an environment of freedom so that they can give free rein to their creativity.
