A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - "Inanimate objects, do you have a soul that attaches itself to our soul and the strength to love?" - This sentence from Lamartine opens a reflection on the link between beings and things. The BRUT exhibition brings together artists who explore this intimate relationship with matter. Their works are born from an instinctive, sometimes hesitant, often free gesture. Painting, stone, and collage become direct means of expression, without the search for effect or perfection. Here, the material speaks for itself. Lines intersect, shapes overlap, faces reveal themselves or hide. The works convey simple yet profound emotions: memory, human duality, contemplation, or the beauty of an ordinary moment. BRUT is an exhibition about the sincerity of the artistic gesture—about that element of truth that we find when we stop trying to control and let creation exist as it is.
