Cyprien Desrez and Bérénice Nouvel present 2026 artist residencies at Centre d’Art Contemporain Pontmain

exhibition · 2026-04-20

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.
