ADOR Experience art gallery

Painter from Oléronnaise, granddaughter of an oyster farmer and fisherman. Christelle is fascinated by the Charente Islands.

In 2009, she discovered the private collection of aboriginal paintings by her friend Australian historian and writer Peter Grose. This encounter, which was a revelation, will launch his artistic career.

From this ancestral art, Christelle chooses to keep only the point. She imbues her works with movement, musicality, mineral nuances and invites us to a graphic reading of her maritime environment: between clearings and salt flats, fish locks and a stormy horizon.

“The earth vibrates, the colors dance and the surface undulates”

Thomas Turner worked in movie decoration for a long time before devoting himself entirely to his art in 2012. Painter and sculptor, he works on the refinement of lines and likes to play with the notions of “borders”, those between the abstract and the figurative, the mechanical and the biological, the inert and the living.

He takes particular care to ensure that his works reflect a balance between strength and delicacy, by combining, for example, the roughness of a texture with the softness of a curve. He lives and works in Brittany, near Dinan.
