Current exhibitions in the Aix region and the Luberon

An art centre nestled within a private mansion in Aix-en-Provence (Gallifet Art Center), sculpture parks set among the vineyards (Château La Coste), private foundations devoted to minimal art (Bonisson Art Center), sculpture (Fondation Datris), or the contemporary art scene of the African continent (Fondation Blachère): more than a dozen exhibitions to explore in the heart of this gentle Provence with Tuscan overtones, where contemporary art meets olive oil and magnificent landscapes.

Bonisson Art Center - Rognes
Éclats d’âmes
 → 

Constructed and concrete art are not cold abstractions; they are the very architecture of our emotions, wrested from chaos. In this exhibition, the straight line does more than divide space: it directs it towards the heart. Here, the rigour of the plane becomes a refuge for clarity. Each work is a poem of pure forms, a precise arrangement in which materiality recedes to reveal the essential. Structures do not hold the gaze; they set it free. Then comes the miracle of light. It does not merely illuminate the canvas or sculpture; it seems to emanate from the work itself. Pigments capture the daylight, volumes carve out shadow, and from this perfect balance emerges an inner clarity. What you see is no longer a juxtaposition of geometric forms, but a pure vibration: a glimmer of the soul suspended in time, an invitation to contemplate the secret and luminous order of the world.

Group exhibition in partnership with Galerie marie-robin

Château La Coste - Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade
Rashid Johnson
 → 

Following his major retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Rashid Johnson takes over the Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium at Château La Coste with an exhibition of paintings, sculptures and film. The artist presents new bronze sculptures created especially for the estate. Drawing on personal and cultural histories, his work explores human connection, collective rituals and solidarity. In dialogue with Oscar Niemeyer’s modernist architecture and the surrounding Provençal landscape, the exhibition reflects on community, shared experience and the power of coming together.

Fondation Villa Datris - L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Méditerranée, odyssées contemporaines
 → 

A sea of crossings and exchange, the Mediterranean carries memories of journeys and intertwined cultures, but also exile and loss. For centuries, people have crossed it seeking refuge and dignity.

In 2026, the Fondation Villa Datris gathers 74 artists from 20 countries to explore the Mediterranean as a shared territory. Their works address migration, common roots, and today’s challenges: climate change, borders and violence… blending commitment and poetry to celebrate hospitality, solidarity, and hope for an open, human Mediterranean.

Fondation Vasarely - Aix-en-Provence
A Project for a Revolution
 → 

Marking the Foundation’s 50th anniversary, this exhibition explores Vasarely’s "architectural tropism," rooted in the legacy of the Bauhaus and the Espace group. From the Polychrome City of Happiness project to the monumental integrations in Caracas, the exhibition examines the nature of art in today’s information society and its social impact.

Fondation Blachère - Bonnieux
Afroblue: The Use of Blue in Contemporary African Art
 → 

What does blue reveal in contemporary African art and its diasporas? Afroblue brings together 38 artists who express their memories, dreams, and stories through the colour blue. Explored as a living material, between sky and sea, blue bodies, ancient gestures, and contemporary forms, blue composes a poetic journey to describe today's world.

Upstairs, carte blanche is given to artist Wim Botha.
