Father and Son Bioulès in Dual Exhibition at Château de Jau

exhibition · 2026-04-24

From June 13 to September 28, 2014, the Château de Jau in Cases-de-Pène presents a unique exhibition featuring Vincent Bioulès (born 1938) and David Bioulès (born 1965), marking their first collaborative display. The showcase highlights intriguing contrasts, such as David's abstract depictions of garden chairs paired with Vincent's painting of a deserted beach armchair. Vincent's creations (1965-2014) portray expansive landscapes, while David focuses on ordinary objects, emphasizing their physical presence. During his walks, David discovers mundane items and translates them into two-dimensional art. Vincent’s recent landscapes resonate with the Supports/Surfaces movement, utilizing light to blur the lines between reality and stereotype. The exhibition catalogue includes Claude Viallat's humorous take on Vincent's landscapes and Jean-Claude Hauc's Nietzschean perspective on the artist's function.
