With its abstract experiments, its subversive installations and passion for performance, the 20th century disrupted realist painting… to such an extent that one believed in its disappearance. It would have been a shame! As it is easy to see today: figurative painting has a bright future ahead. Sought-after by young artists not to mention reputed names, its constantly enriched practice testifies the desire to look the world in the eye. To observe its beauty, right down to the smallest detail, to highlight its grace... To go with the flow and get bewitched by the harmony of everyday life.

The artists of this summer collection are fond of landscapes, painting the variations of light to render their intimate sensitivity. They also like still life, these perfectly ordered arrangements of objects and fruits which have a lot to tell about our decor, our environment. Some dwell on snippets of modern architecture, bodies dancing and jumping in space, intoxicating street scenes, or even the simple vision of a father walking with his child.

This collection of realistic paintings is therefore a testimony of everyday life. It yearns to capture its flavor, and highlight the artists who absorb the latter... To show the beauty of life, in a simple manner.
