Pure #2 25 artists propose a collective exhibition in resonance with the purity and beauty of the chapel. For Aristotle, the «Formal Cause» is this mysterious interior «reason», which allows artistic shaping to give soul to matter, to sublimate it and transcend it. It is this action of incarnation of the spirit, so that a consciousness of being emanates from it to the world, an autotelic truth, essential made of original purity. Purity of approach, materials and form, this exhibition will be an invitation to the spiritual approach that is a necessity to overcome the difficulty of interpreting the Sacred through the works presented: This is the virtue that characterizes the artists gathered for this meeting. A will that finds its ideal setting in this heritage treasure that is the Chapel of Our Lady of Île Barbe, high place of beauty and light first, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. What is common between all these artists, who use different techniques such as painting, photography, ceramics, glass, textiles, drawing, sculpture, it is the expressive power of a material magnified by the formal sobriety of the works in total harmony with the architectural asceticism of the Chapel. The emotion here arises from this meeting between current creations and this place out of the time of elevation of thought. . Pierre Souchaud art writer Accessibility
