Exhibition - Agnès Veyre-Serre - Not quite paper...

Through works manipulating local paper fibers, the artist offers an immersion in a creative universe, enriched with old postcards and a family history linked to the paper industry.

This exhibition immerses the viewer in the sensitive and sculptural world of paper, a traditional raw material from the Annonay region. Through her creations, the artist explores the multiple possibilities offered by eucalyptus and pine fibers, transformed into works that oscillate between volume and flatness. By playing with the resistance and flexibility of the material, she manages to sublimate this fragile but resistant paper, which she manipulates by folding, weaving, crumpling and tearing.

A particular aspect of this exhibition is the reintegration of old postcards, recovered from the artist's family attic, dating from 1914 to 1920. These documents enrich the visual narrative of the artist, who tells through her works a family correspondence, mixing personal memory and local history. This link with the industrial past of the region, marked by the history of paper mills, finds an echo in the creative techniques of Agnès Veyre-Serre, who updates this heritage while offering a poetic and contemporary vision of paper.

Opening: Friday, February 7 from 17 p.m. to 18:30 p.m.
