Events : Book launch

The Peinture Fraîche team is delighted to invite you
to the release of Pierre Leguillon’s new book
on Saturday 20 November 2021.

Pierre Leguillon, La Légende punaisée dans le ciel, Surfaces Utiles, 2021.
Or how a “non-book”, which had never been published, finally became an anti-manual.

The notes transcribed in this manual were intended for the production of a book, imagined during the winter of 2003-2004, while Pierre Leguillon was resident at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome. For a few weeks, he remained cloistered at home, living in a totally different way, in the hope of finding the form that his book would take. 

The Peinture Fraîche team is delighted to invite you to the double launch of the Prisme editions during which the artist Catherine François and the photographer Benoit Feron will present their respective new books.
The book launch will take place on Saturday 6 November from 3.30 to 6.30 pm.

Catherine François
Nature is the great creator, she does everything, I am only her instrument, says Catherine François, whose modesty is that of the great. Her work reflects the growing chaos that is taking over the world, feeding her anxiety and ours. The imbalance is profound, organic. But for her, these accidents are the source of an ambitious research which aims, through art, to underline the urgency for the human species to finally respect Nature, on which its survival depends. This book illustrates the artist’s abundant career: thirty years of sculpture and a creativity that expresses itself with all the vigour of the living.

The Peinture Fraîche team is delighted to invite you to a discussion about Letizia Le Fur‘s book, Mythologies, with Alain Rodriguez, graphic designer, and Samantha Millar Hoppe, editor, on Thursday 28 October 2021.

Letizia Le Fur’s work Mythologies has its roots in two passions that have inhabited and accompanied the artist since her childhood: Greek mythology and the search for beauty.
