Silhouettes, Marc Dégrandchamps

Marc Desgrandchamps has established himself on the French art scene and gained international recognition.

The exhibition presents a significant group of some forty paintings, most of them produced over the last decade, in which the artist's attraction to the Mediterranean coast is fully apparent. The evocation of ancient figures alongside contemporary bathers, the depiction of archaeological sites or beach scenes, the attraction for the very particular geography of the shore are all aspects explored through the selection offered by the [mac], as well as the affirmation of a southern light that intensifies forms and intensely marks shadows.

The paintings assembled here will allow us to question the role of this light from the shores of the Mediterranean in the timelessness of the figures, and even in the abstraction of the forms that unfold in Marc Desgrandchamps' compositions during this period.
