Let Yourself Be Inspired by art…
Art is calling at Figuière!
Discover the Artistic World of Benoît Manent
For some time now, Benoît Manent has stepped away from the enclosed space of the studio and the practice of painting from photographs, choosing instead to work directly from nature in the forests of the Alps. With colors, paper, and brushes packed in his backpack, he hikes along mountain trails.
(…)
Immersed among the trees for entire days, he has developed a form of painting rooted in deep listening and attention — a painting shaped by slowness and presence. He invites us to immerse ourselves in the forests he brings to life on paper.
In Trièves, in the Buech and Jabron valleys, and on the Lure mountain, each journey begins in the pages of an IGN map and the novels of Jean Giono, which accompany him in this new series created at the invitation of the Jean Giono Center in Manosque.
