A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - This selection pays homage to the rural world through iconography that places humankind at the heart of the nourishing landscape. The works explore the peasant's role not as a mere subject of labor, but as a dignified and timeless figure, guardian of nature's cycles. From reinterpretations of classics like Millet's "The Gleaners" to contemporary scenes of peasant meals or solitary shepherds, each piece tells a story of patience and rootedness. Between the physical exertion of fieldwork and the serenity of moments of rest under a vast sky, the curatorial work paints a sensitive portrait of this humanity bound to the land, capturing the very essence of our sustenance. Oil and acrylic on canvas or linen are used with a generous application of material, creating vibrant surfaces reminiscent of the texture of wheat or turned earth. These pictorial approaches meet the modernity of digital art on paper or cardboard, which brings a fresh perspective to ancestral techniques through plays of blur and graphic composition.
