Island Compositions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Port-des-Barques<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

14.08.2025 – 14.10.2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition Island Compositions focuses on \u00cele Madame and in particular its landscape, which features both artificial and natural elements. Its purpose is to highlight the fragmented aspect of these places where man has mastered wild nature while preserving its beauty. It underlines the island’s emblematic and easily visible elements -the traditional fishing huts , the coastline, the flora. However, it combines them, on the same level, with less perceptible elements (geological or botanical details). The exhibition thus seeks to raise awareness of the beauty of nature\u2019s details on different scales and by extension drawing attention to the importance of nature and its preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the works can be seen at the exhibition venue: Square Guy Rivi\u00e8re, 17730 Port-des-Barques<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUPERPOSITIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional fishing huts and their square fishing nets are an emblematic architectural element of the Charente-Maritime region. Their geometric shapes contrast with the fluctuating nature that surrounds them, sea water, algae, rocks and sediments. The series explore this contrasting association by superimposing architectural and natural patterns. The colours used are those observed on the coastline of \u00cele Madame. Their positioning reinforces the combination of human constructions and structures built by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAYERS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foreshore corresponds to the part of the land covered and uncovered alternately at high and low tide. It is a transitional, intermediate, and liminal space. It is also a zone of exchange, where deposits and erosion take place. It is a place of perpetual change and constant fascination.
On \u00cele Madame, the foreshore is marked by numerous strata that form levels and reliefs outlining horizontal landscapes. This series reproduces them in a minimalist manner, superimposed on the silhouette of \u00cele Madame in reference to the natural structure to which they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FRAGMENTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landscape of \u00cele Madame is fragmented and this series interprets different patterns observed on site.
It combines the vertical forms of local plants with the horizontal silhouettes of the foreshore, rocks and soil, to highlight the visual, poetic, and aesthetic harmony between these elements opposed in their movements.
The lines present in some of the works represent the human influence on \u00cele Madame. The distribution of the circles is inspired by phyllotaxis (the organization of plant leaves).
The six Fragments each correspond to a theme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Stars (Crithmum maritimum)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Reflections (water)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Karst (limestone rocks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Interstices (horizontal surface lines)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Intermezzo (foreshore)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Verticales (Dipsacus fullonum)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
