“The real artist does not copy nature, he interprets it.” Maurice Denuzière
Plants emit hidden emotions that can be felt and interpreted by man in a singular way. A plant is capable of modifying its structure, its chemical composition and its appearance, in order to defend itself, to attack or to seduce because it has, like us, self-consciousness, of the world and its interactions – the ability to act in the service of a purpose by conveying various messages to its organs, neighbouring plants, animals and ourselves, through a communication mechanism that has just confirmed the journal Science “appear to our nervous system.”
The plant world is at the origin of multiple and infinite representations in the history of art. Trees, leaves, flowers, have an infinite diversity, such as artistic diversity. In the exhibition Monde Végétal we present a selection of artists directly inspired by nature.
Victoire Cathalan’s work is inspired by Klimt’s Symbolism, Richter’s Naturalism and the German Romantics. His paintings reclaim an exuberant and poetic nature. The artist took an early interest in the relationship between man and the environment. Victoire Cathalan chose to use the natural canvas as a support, and all her work is part of an ecological consciousness. For the artist “Plants have an extreme sensitivity, in this we are intimately linked to them, and seeing, connecting with the works increases our senses.”
The work of Ana D. & Noora K., invites us to rediscover a lost alliance with nature. The artist duo captures the subject in its raw form and freezes its unique aspect in relation to the movement. They show through photography how each particle can transform and take on a new form. The energy invisible to the naked eye is depicted in their images. For Ana D. & Noora K. it is essential to communicate a message about the aggression that nature and its resources suffer as a result of our actions.
We invite you to discover rich and diverse interpretations of nature in the exhibition Monde Végétal.
