Alexandre Clair's 'Aura Bleue' Explores Medicine as Ritual at Galerie By Lara Sedbon
Galerie By Lara Sedbon presents 'Aura Bleue', a solo exhibition by French artist Alexandre Clair running until June 20. The show features a series of oil paintings that examine the solemn and sacred dimensions of medicine, avoiding direct religious iconography. Clair spent time in operating rooms, observing surgeons and gathering emotional testimonies to capture moments of tension, hope, and humanity. The project holds personal resonance for both the artist and gallerist Lara Sedbon, whose parents are doctors. Works include 'Songes et contemplation 1' (2026, oil on wood, 28x20cm) and 'L’endoscopie' (2023, oil on wood, 23x35cm). Clair describes the series as an invitation to see medicine as a ritualistic act of devotion and defiance, revealing a philosophical and universal narrative that is intimate, familial, and collective.
