A new era is emerging.

The exhibition presents visual artists concerned by their era and their time. Everyone talks about their vision of the “after” and offers us a gateway to renewal. The works testify to meditation, introspection, tumultuous horizons and the perspective of another environment. Big bang, rising waters, appearance, disappearance and mutation of species…

The opening of perspectives, the flight of bodies, the possibilities of escape are accentuated by the gestures of the artists, always on the move. The lines of flight are discerned as enigmatic routes indicating the direction that will transport us to another place. Some works are freed from reality towards abstraction, others represent the tangible strangeness of more completely human creatures, in mutation, between fairyland and nightmare. It is the space of fantasy where everything is open, where nature and humans become means of expression. In a world in the making, a new existence is emerging between fascination and worry.

The recurring, passionate and feverish red opens up to a new dimension, undeniably contemporary. This tone of fire acts on everyone's condition. The dream is confronted with damnation, hell in paradise. This aesthetic journey is seen as a poetic relay of a societal vision. A disturbing state of the world in its balance of power between resistance, resignation, hope and destruction. Caroline Canault, exhibition curator.
