END OF RESIDENCY EXHIBITION
HENNER, THE RIBBON, THE EMBER
"Henner, le ruban, la braise" will be the result of a work in dialogue with the work of Jean-Jacques Henner, conjuncture of his two emblematic themes: naiads and women in Alsatian costumes and coiffes. Crossing mythologies between the two painters, the emergence of nymphs wearing ribbons, it will also be a question of reincarnating the models of the past. To question what emerges under the triple title of artist-muse-model, between figures of the past and contemporary faces. In the footsteps of Jean-Jacques Henner's obsessive and desirous spirit.
Putting a spell on the museum, bringing its faces and silhouettes to life in flesh and blood... Alongside research into the traditional and folkloric heritage of Alsace, that of headdresses and ribbons, contemporaries of Henner (chosen period: 1850 to 1900), a highly significant women's wardrobe of infinite textile richness to be revealed within the exhibition. (through photography, sculpture, painting and the presentation of authentic objects).
Margaux Laurens-Neel, born in Deauville in 1997, is a Franco-British painter, photographer and sculptor. She lives and works in Paris. She graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021, where she studied with comic strip artist Joann Sfar, photographer Eric Poitevin and art historian François-René Martin. She also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and in Berlin.
Today, Margaux is accompanied by Galerie Droste, which recently offered her the opportunity to present her first solo show. Through a sensual dialogue between painting and ceramics, she explores the place and representation of women throughout the history of art and figurative art, the ways in which the naked body is represented, and the expression of feminine desire, through the use of a symbolic bestiary and the language of flowers, clothing, accessories and colour...
Tous les jours, sauf le mardi, de 11h à 18h.
Exposition comprise dans le billet d'entrée du musée.
