Exposition

De plumes et d'Or

  • De plumes et d'Or

    The temporary exhibition "De plumes et d'Or" (Of Feather and Gold) showcases the luminous bird paintings by artist Malo A., which are highlighted with gold leaf. These artworks engage in a dialogue with the 19th-century collection of taxidermied birds by Fernand Daguin, creating a connection between contemporary art and scientific heritage. The birds, enhanced by gold, provide a poetic and radiant vision of nature while paying tribute to the aesthetics of past naturalist representations.

    A subtle fusion of art and science, blending the past with the present.

     

    From March 1st to May 31th.

    Included in the entrance admission of the museum (see more about prices and opening hours here).

    Malo A.

    Malo A.'s (Malaurie Auliac) work immerses us in a world where wildlife comes to life with rare intensity. Through a realistic and naturalistic style, the artist elevates her subjects, often encased in gold, silver, or copper, as if offering a tribute to fragile nature. By mastering techniques such as watercolor, Chinese ink, and acrylic paint on fine papers, she creates a luminous and expressive world where birds, framed in gold, seem to soar out of the canvas. Inspired by Orthodox icons, Japanese Byōbu screens, and 1930s decorative art, Malo A. skillfully blends ancient traditions with modernity. Each piece, delicately imbued with softness and melancholy, invites intimate contemplation, a dialogue with the animal, which, in its golden and dreamlike backgrounds, touches us profoundly.
