La nature faite pour Dürer

Like a tribute to Mother Nature, this exhibition focuses on questioning humankind on its part in the gradual yet drastic annihilation of the planet; not only of its fauna and flora but also of what affects humanity in its flesh and psyche. A slow and progressive suicide which cripples day after day the beauty of the divine so perfectly described by Spinoza and so accurately embodied almost a century and a half ago by the artist Albrecht Dürer in a simple but uprooted tussocks of weed paradoxically rendered immortal by his mastery of watercolor.

Prima Materia

For this carte blanche invitation at Dilecta, Juliette Minchin unveils a new phase of her work, one never exhibited before: the “Hydromancie” [Hydromancy] series made up of 5 mesmerizing drawings in which bursts of pigments become one with layers of translucent wax, completed by a wide piece of 2.50 × 1.20 m; and a dozen of photograms, the “Cérogrammes”, realized with pieces of drapery from recycled artworks. Two fundamentals of her work can be found in those pieces: wax, her key material, and light.
