Résonance events

The Missing Piece is an invitation to explore our physical relationship with artworks. Whether instinctive, mundane, playful, or conventional, touch becomes a mode of interaction in its own right: a gesture of intimacy, appropriation, and care. The boundaries between artwork, body, and object—between the living and the inanimate—blur.

Confrontation of two contemporary artists

In Désert, Nils Vandevenne presents a new body of paintings in which abstraction, figuration and the memory of images intersect. Through gesture, material and narrative, the artist creates an inner landscape that is both enigmatic and deeply evocative.

In a world racked by tensions and uncertainties, this exhibition celebrates the power of art as a space to breathe. Colours, sensations and the interplay between the works invite visitors to embark on a sensory journey, brimming with emotion and beauty.

Through sculptures reminiscent of furniture, Ronan Lecreurer reveals the ordinary and the familiar. These objects, straddling the line between function and representation, take on new meanings.

With her Landscapes series, Catherine Mainguy explores the possibilities of ink and water. Between control and unpredictability, her works trace sensitive geographies that invite the viewer to slow down and experience the image as a journey.

A moment to relive the small gestures of kindness we can offer one another—a shared glance, a smile at the sight of a flower or a landscape. An experience born of long-standing relationships with artists who have opened the door to their poetic worlds for Pauline Lisowski.

Valentin van der Meulen, a draftsman, explores erasure, repetition, and overlay. Using charcoal and black stone, he transforms decontextualized news photos into works where the act of drawing is as central as the image itself. His gesture, both destructive and generative, turns drawing into an archaeology of memory.

In The Wardrobe of possible selves, the costume represents a liberation of the purely individual imagination, free from social constraints. It becomes a personal artistic adventure in which each person’s inner truth is expressed through a physical form born of the intimacy of a deeply felt experience.

From September 12 to 27, the REGAIN ART LYON fair will welcome visitors to the Palais de Bondy for its 88th edition. The works of 65 artists — painters, visual artists, sculptors, and photographers — will elegantly fill the galleries and exhibition walls of this historic venue located in the heart of Old Lyon.

Through drawings, embroidery, fabrics and layered papers, Marie Lerch and Barbara Lerch explore the connections between memory, textiles and imagination. Drapery, folds and fragments become poetic landscapes inviting contemplation and daydreaming.

From September to November 2026, the City of Tassin-la-Demi-Lune will host a monumental artwork by artist Arnaud Schneider on the Town Hall forecourt. Three sculptures from the Dialogue series, made of reclaimed steel, will explore themes of transmission, territory, and architecture in connection with the public and urban space.

"Les songes de la trame“ brings together around fifty recent paintings and works on paper by Liliane Tomasko (b. 1967 in Zurich, lives and works in new York) at Le Corbusier’s Couvent Sainte-Marie de La Tourette. Set within the iconic modernist monastery, the exhibition explores the relationship between abstraction, architecture, and spirituality."
