Ange Leccia's video art dialogues with Monet at Boscherville Abbey
Ange Leccia, a pioneer of video art in France, presents a contemporary homage to Claude Monet at the Abbaye Saint-Georges de Boscherville in Normandy. The exhibition, titled "(D')après Monet," features Leccia's video installations and works that engage with Impressionist heritage, set within the abbey's monastic gardens. The 12th-century Benedictine abbey, one of the finest Romanesque ensembles in Normandy, includes a sculpted chapter house and restored gardens spanning four hectares. The show runs until September 30, 2026, at the abbey located in Saint Martin-de-Boscherville, near Rouen. Leccia's works confront nature, light, and contemporary imagery in a dialogue with Monet's legacy.
