Au-delà du jardin

This exhibition brings together two perspectives, two sensibilities, and two forms of expression, all centered around the garden.

American painter Gianne de Genevraye, a traveling artist invited to residencies in some of the world’s most renowned parks and gardens, offers on her canvases a vivid testimony of these places.

“I always paint facing the subject, under daylight that shifts every moment. The challenge is to capture it spontaneously, with bold brushstrokes that convey the shapes of plants as accurately as possible.”

Poet Sabine Péglion explores the garden theme through a literary lens. Her poems question the painter’s gaze and invite us to reflect on our own interpretation of the space… The garden is not merely a plot of land. It is a space both open to infinity, where light enters and time is inscribed, and also enclosed, where we create order to find ourselves, where plants gather like vectors of dreams and emotion. The garden evokes and reactivates memories of other gardens.

This is an exhibition that invites you on a journey through shapes and colors—and above all, within yourself.
