CULTURE / EXPO

The creatures that live in the world of Sabrina Gruss are unsettling sculptures that seem to lead us into a strange, dark world where death appears to reign supreme. Yet her hybrid beings radiate a certain beauty, fascinating and attractive, accentuated by humour and poetry. She finds what she needs in nature to bring them to life: animal bones, fibres, plants, feathers, fur and all sorts of remnants eroded by time and the elements. Giving new life to the inanimate, these delicate creations, which Sabrina Gruss combines with sculpting to give them a face, are extremely expressive and immediately catch our eye.

CULTURE / EXPO

Rendre visible is a four-way exhibition, with four artists presenting nature and what it reveals... or conceals. One the one hand, an intimate dialogue between the art of two friends, Paul Klee (very rarely exhibited) and Hans Reichel (a new find). On the other hand, videos, sculptures and installations by Anne-Charlotte Finel and Julien Discrit.

Impossible to lose interest in this exhibition, which takes you through several different ambiences. It begins in a pitch-black room, with a lighted piece of art by Julien Discrit. You continue into a series of intimate cabinets where fossils strike a breathtaking chord with the works of Reichel and Klee. You then head into larger rooms, with videos by Anne-Charlotte Finel and sculptures, photographs and paintings by Julien Discrit.

CULTURE / EXPO

Ten years after their passing, the L.A.C. pays tribute to Piet Moget, founder of the L.A.C., and Carel Visser, both born in 1928 and who passed away in 2015. One worked with light and silence in painting; the other explored density and structure in sculpture and drawing. They shared the same rigor, an acute sensitivity to space, and a desire for simplicity. Both sought to reach the essence: a precise form, a quiet presence, a harmony with emptiness. In resonance with this tribute, artist Wieteke Heldens offers a contemporary perspective through works that are both delicate, conceptual, and meticulous.

CULTURE / EXPO

This exhibition brings together the creative approaches of two artists, Benjamin and Stephane Carbonne, driven by the same goal: to stimulate thought through creation. Benjamin Carbonne, a self-taught painter, offers a deep visual immersion in a universe where the human form fades away to be replaced by enigmatic metaphors. Stéphane Carbonne, sculptor, painter and performer, takes us on an exploration of matter, the human body and its interactions through organic forms and sculptures in recycled plastic. It's a questioning of our society, its contradictions and its fragile balance.

Their works have both introspective and social dimensions, inviting us to rethink our relationship with matter, the body and our environment.

CULTURE / EXPO

This exhibition showcases more than 110 paintings, including 75 watercolours, from the Roux family. These exceptional canvases are complemented by a collection of maritime memorabilia and magnificent ship models, including one lent by the Musée National de la Marine in Paris. The Roux family, a dynasty of artists who were the first portraitists of the navy, offer a precious testimony to the ships, ports and maritime life of the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of the ship's portraits have pleased officers, captains and enthusiasts from all over the world. Paintings that decorate the walls of great admirals, the homes of sailors and the little chapels of the Mediterranean where shipwrecked sailors offered thanks for their survival.

EXPOSITION

After her last exhibition at the “Villa des Cents regards” in Montpellier, Madel D. Courcelles, in the wake of her success, relentlessly continues to draw her most spectacular and sensitive emotions. The artist uses a hybrid technique that reminds us that sublime beauty can be achieved with a single straight or curved line, with few chromatic nuances. Her unique style is extremely diverse, ranging from large to tiny postcard formats.

Meanwhile, Madel has released her first children's book, “Albin et autres contes”, published by Ubik-Art. You will soon be able to find her on eBay to order her drawings and book.

 

PERMANENT EXHIBITION

Discovered in 1860 by an abbot named Giniès, excavations have been ongoing at the archaeological  site since the 20^th century. In 1915, local scholar Félix Mouret acquired and excavated the site of the necropolis, where many valuable objects were found. A major restoration was completed in 2022. Today, the state-owned museum offers visitors a permanent immersive tour on two floors built around four central themes: the Carrefour des civilisations (Crossroads of Civilizations) introduces the site in the context of its territory and the Mediterranean basin, with representations from the Celtic world and the Iberian, the ancient Greeks and Asian art, Etruscan and then Roman worlds. The Oppidum evokes the four major periods of evolution experienced by the fortified town from 550 BC to 100 AD. The Necropolis display is devoted to traditional funeral rites and the discovery of ancient tombs.  “Categorise to understand” highlights an extraordinary series of antique vases, the crown jewels of the collection. No visit to the museum would be complete without passing through the area reserved for fascinating temporary exhibitions.
