A VERTICAL SPREADING
6 June 2025 - 18 January 2026
Opening June 5 from 6pm - white gallery
CCCOD (Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré) - TOURS
curator : Marine Rochard
In 2025, the CCCOD invites Claire Chesnier to inhabit the white gallery with her recent paintings, which are as many spaces, moments, reminiscences and recurrences. Each of them is an interweaving of colors, transparencies and brightnesses, applied layer after layer, and on whose surface, in recent years, a horizontal partition of masses has systematically emerged. This is irresistibly reminiscent of a horizon line marking the junction between earth and sky. It is more subtle than a simple border, more unfathomable than a quattrocento sfumato inducing an atmospheric perspective. For her exhibition, the artist is developing a new light installation in collaboration with Olumee, which will enable visitors to experience the time of her painting and the way it changes with the hours of the day. This solo exhibition at the CCCOD is part of a cycle of exhibitions devoted to Claire Chesnier's work, which will take place in France and abroad from 2024 to 2026, and will be accompanied by a monograph published by Editions JBE Books.
