Yves Zurstrassen's Red Monochromes at Salagon Museum

The Musée de Salagon, a medieval priory in Haute-Provence, presents an exhibition of new works by Belgian artist Yves Zurstrassen. The site features a 12th-century Romanesque church with contemporary stained glass by Aurélie Nemours, a Renaissance building, and six hectares of ethnobotanical gardens with nearly 1,700 plant species. Zurstrassen, who lives part-time in the nearby Luberon, created a series of abstract paintings for the church using perforated paper sheets to layer paint, resulting in vibrant red compositions. The exhibition runs until December 14, 2026, and is part of the museum's programming that explores the relationship between local inhabitants and plants over millennia.
