Laurence Cherade, an artist passionate about the coasts of northwestern France, captured her childhood fascination with the sea in the WAVES 2024/2025 project. His paintings pay tribute to the sea in all its savagery and beauty, exploring themes of danger and rebellion.
After studying at Beaux-Arts, Laurence perfected her art by exploring miniaturist painting, still lifes, and hyper-realistic animal painting in 2021/2022. Today, she is dedicated to large-format navies, where precision and attention to detail combine to create captivating works that invite careful exploration.
Manolo Chrétien and Pia Loro are two artists from different artistic backgrounds who collaborate to create a work of four hands, combining figuration and abstraction. They met in 1987 at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Olivier de Serres in Paris. Then in 2017, they formed the artistic duo Man & Pia, combining painting and gestures to give life to vivid and colorful paintings.
They sometimes use natural elements (seaweed, gorgonians...) as brushes and painting tools. The creative process takes place in two stages: Manolo starts by painting the background, in an abstract style, with dynamic movements influenced by music. Then, Pia intervenes by adding her figurative touch, creating a work offering two levels of reading.
Depuis toujours, la mer fascine les artistes. Elle attire, apaise, inquiète parfois. Elle est à la fois paysage, matière, horizon et mouvement. D’une époque à l’autre, les peintres, sculpteurs et photographes n’ont cessé de revenir vers elle, cherchant à saisir ce qui, par nature, échappe au regard : son mouvement perpétuel, ses changements de lumière, ses silences et ses tempêtes.
