A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - This curated exhibition is a journey through the centuries, where the aesthetics of ancient Greece and Rome are reborn through a contemporary lens. By bringing together bronze and terracotta sculptures and graphic works, this selection explores the enduring nature of the classical canon and its capacity to engage with our modern world.
The visual journey celebrates the majesty of the body and the object: from busts of helmeted warriors to athletic torsos, from the raw elegance of the Minotaur to the precision of a foot sculpted in stone. The work on patina and materials—from oxidized bronze to polished marble—underscores the passage of time and lends the whole an almost archaeological aura. The presence of frames within the sculptures or plays of light and shadow in the photographs invites us to question our own perception of this universal heritage.
This selection prioritizes strength and serenity. By juxtaposing the tragic and the sublime, it composes a vibrant tribute to heroism and the pursuit of perfection. This curation reminds us that, across the ages, the human figure remains a mirror reflecting our own questions. An invitation to rediscover the poetry of the fragment and the power of classical roots.
