Adrien Couvrat's Illusionistic Paintings and 3D Video at Galerie Maubert Explore Light and Representation
The exhibition "Devant toi coule un fleuve" by Adrien Couvrat is currently on display at Galerie Maubert in Paris, running until June 15, 2024. Born in 1981, the French artist employs striated acrylic textures in his paintings, which reveal concealed images when viewed from various perspectives. One of his notable works, "La Lumière du lac #4" (2024, acrylic on canvas, 85 x 120 cm), draws inspiration from Le Corbusier's Villa "Le Lac" (1923-24, 1951). Additionally, a 3D simulation video titled "Fra Angelico" (2024, 3 min 08) reinterprets Fra Angelico's "The Annunciation" (circa 1426) by eliminating figures and utilizing moving shadows of sunlight to evoke the divine. The exhibition is located at 20 rue Saint-Gilles, Paris, and delves into the themes of illusion and representation in painting.
