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. 
The purpose of the chosen artworks was to sublimate nature by alternately showing it as delicate, mighty or threatening but also as incongruous, disturbing or simply beautiful. Throughout various techniques such as drawing, painting, sculpture or even photography, one is invited to marvel in front of those gracious greeneries and other parts of nature in which the artists found some type of inspiration in order to better share their sensations, worries or other feelings such as bliss.
