Guilhem Roubichou

Guilhem Roubichou and Marina Vandra met in the framework of the residence ARCHIPEL, discovering for one, the resources and landscapes of the mining basin, and for the other the colors and atmospheres of the coast. Their joint exhibition at the Frac will stage the encounter of heterodox artistic practices that modify the sensitive data of space. Marina Vandra’s acrylic paintings on paper line the walls with compositions that deceive perspective, while Gilhem Roubichou’s sculptures focus attention on often forgotten senses such as smell or touch. Two processes that are both processual and singular, which awaken all our senses.
Official opening of the exhibitions: 18H
