Soudain dans la for锚t profonde
There are places that rustle with whispers.
The exhibition 鈥淪oudain dans la fore虃t profonde鈥� (Suddenly in the Depths of the Forest) whose title is borrowed from Amos Oz's philosophical tale, offers an immersion into woodlands through the eyes of modern and contemporary artists on landscape.
Trees and forests appear as a source of inspiration, addressed through various mediums and prisms both as a natural subject and a cultural object. According to the artists' gaze, the forest is in turn an inspiring refuge of romantic solitary reveries, a receptacle of ancestral myths, the nostalgic symbol of an idealized past, a subject of pictorial experimentation or a reflection of our relationship to our natural environment. As Gerhard Richter observed 鈥渢he forest in general has special significance. You can lose your way in forests, feel deserted, but also secure, held fast in the bosom of the undergrowth.鈥�
