LE TEMPS RETROUVÉ: The Ink of Remembrance - curated by Rita Cerciello

A curation by Rita Cerciello, Founder & Senior Curator at Independent Art Advisory - "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Echoing the monumental legacy of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, this curation of 19 works is conceived as a visual novel, a journey into the profound realm of involuntary memory. Opening with the melancholic departure of François Pagé's Circé regardant s’éloigner Ulysse, this selection transcends mere representation. Featuring Pagé's dreamlike mastery, whose poetic titles read like the chapters of an intimate diary, the narrative is augmented by the resonant echoes of artists like Corinne Pages and Brigitte Dravet. Much like Proust's famous madeleine, these canvases act as emotional catalysts, awakening dormant feelings through vibrant brushstrokes and blurred horizons. This is an invitation to the collector who understands that art is the ultimate defense against oblivion: a sanctuary where lost time is finally retrieved, captured, and made eternal.
