Cyprien Desrez and Bérénice Nouvel present 2026 artist residencies at Centre d’Art Contemporain Pontmain
Cyprien Desrez and Bérénice Nouvel showcase their 2026 artist residencies at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Pontmain from March 15 to May 3, 2026. Desrez employs papier-mâché, tapestry, and unusual objects to craft a poetic universe inspired by hitchhiking journeys, blending highway graphics with art history. Nouvel challenges painting boundaries through trompe-l’œil and autofiction, creating saturated-color painting-objects that draw from popular culture and daily life to interrogate taste hierarchies. The exhibition is open Wednesdays to Fridays from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM and Sundays from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. A photograph by Lucas Zambon features Nouvel's 2024 work 'Miroir, miroir'. The venue is located at 8 bis rue de la Grange Pontmain, 53220, with details available on its website.
