Richard Conte's 'Au bal des humanimaux' Exhibition at Galerie L'Œil Écoute in Lyon

Richard Conte presents his exhibition 'Au bal des humanimaux' at Galerie L'Œil Écoute in Lyon. The show features hybrid creatures he calls 'humanimaux'—neither fully human nor animal—that emerge from painting itself. These figures are born from the materiality of paint and the harvest of lines, transforming into chimeras that tell colorful fables. The exhibition includes works like 'Le sens de la fête' (2022), an acrylic on canvas measuring 120 x 180 cm. Opening with a vernissage on Saturday, May 23, 2026 at 5 PM, the exhibition runs through June 28, 2026. Viewing hours are Fridays and Saturdays from 2 PM to 7 PM, Sundays from 11 AM to 5 PM, and by appointment. The gallery is located at 3 quai Romain Rolland in Lyon, France. Conte's work explores how the artist's hand imagines marvelous or grotesque figures through material manipulation. The creatures are adorned with glitter, gold, and fluorescent elements, creating a festive visual language. More information is available on the artist's website at https://richardconte.fr.
