Inspired by the concept developed by Jacqueline Lichtenstein, La Couleur Éloquente delves into the multifaceted role of color in art—its evocative power, philosophical implications, and aesthetic significance. Lichtenstein's theory positions color as a fundamental agent in art, not merely a visual tool, but as a dynamic force that shapes perception, emotion, and meaning. In this inaugural exhibition at our new Saint-Tropez space, we explore how contemporary artists engage with color as a language in itself, one that transcends cultural boundaries and intellectual traditions.
Featuring works by Ben Arpéa, Valentina Canseco, Aldo Chaparro, Joana Choumali, Christa David, Sesse Elangwe, Jean-Marc Hunt, Thandiwe Muriu, Hyacinthe Ouattara, Rob Tucker, and Lorenzo Vitturi, La Couleur Éloquente brings together global perspectives on color’s role in the construction of identity, memory, and space. Whether through abstraction, figurative representation, or material experimentation, the artists in this exhibition use color to communicate and question, evoking a sensory and intellectual experience that resonates beyond the visual.
