« Jardins rêvés, Rêves de jardin”
SALLE BÉATRICE HODENT DE BROUTELLES
Cyril Destrade, artist and illustrator, exhibits his latest works at Mairie du 7ème Arrondissement de Paris, from 21 September until 2 October, 2019. Opening: Thursday, 26 September, starting at 6 pm,
For several years now, artist Cyril Destrade has been exploring the lushness and magic of gardens, experimenting with forms and colours. At the invitation of the Paris 7th Arrondissement city hall, he will be presenting his latest creations from 21 September until 2 October.
His techniques: ink, watercolour and pastel on paper. His trademark: his resolute optimism. The line is spontaneous, the colour palette at once transparent and vivid. Intense colours combined with a spontaneous and choreographic expression depict a vegetal, liquid and luminous world, that constantly oscillates between abstraction and narration.
The exhibition “Jardins rêvés, rêves de jardins” offers an immersion in the flourishing imagination of the artist who has seduced the most famous luxury brands, and since then has collaborated with them regularly.
The exhibition will showcase the pieces of dinner service made for the Gien faïencerie side by side with the original drawings and preparatory sketches that served as a model for their creation. It will also display some watercolours commissioned by Hermès to illustrate invitations to new store openings.
