Contemporary figuration : Violaine Desportes et Christophe Moreau

Cabinet de Curiosités de la Galerie Valérie Eymeric

Violaine Desportes' 'Autopsy' series was based on photographs of pupils' school kits. It is important for the artist to start from reality, to delve into it, in a hyper-realistic approach, in black and white on paper. Christophe Moreau also observes his fellow artists. In his black and white portraits, he strives to master the light, which plays a key role in his work. Unlike Violaine Desportes, he is gradually moving away from realism. Both of them will be showing us two aspects of contemporary figurative art and black-and-white drawing. They will challenge us with their own view of the world.
