exhibition · 2026-04-23

Philippe Cognée held an exhibition at the Musée de l'Abbaye Sainte-Croix in Les Sables d'Olonne, France, from November 10, 2001, to January 13, 2002. The show presented his distinctive wax-encaustic paintings, which blur the line between figuration and abstraction. Cognée's work often explores themes of memory and the ephemeral, using a technique that involves melting wax to create dreamlike, dissolving images. The exhibition was covered by artpress magazine.
