| FABRICE MOIREAU et JEAN-MARIE DALLET "Provence Sketchbook" |
| From 8th May until 17 June 2009 | |
| An exhibition of the original
watercolours from the book “Provence Sketchbook” A French artist and a British writer combine their talents to pay homage to the beauties of Provence. They invite us to share their journey as they vividly bring to life this well loved region. Capturing light and shadow, revealing historical or picturesque details, conveying the atmosphere of a town, a street, a landscape – this is their tour de force. The artist Fabrice Moireau is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués. An assiduous traveller, he creates sketchbooks which, delightful to the eye, are also cultural and ethnographic documents. Exhibitions of his watercolours demonstrate his passion for architectural heritage and nature. His other books, also part of the successful ‘Sketchbook ‘ series ( Edition du Pacifique ) include Paris, Venice, and New York. The writer John Burdett is a bestselling British novelist. Formerly a high-flying lawyer in Hong Kong, he gave everything up, aged 50, to write full-time. He now lives between Southern France and Bangkok. Smart and funny, candid and highly evocative – these attributes, coupled with meticulous research, make Burdett’s text for “Provence Sketchbook” a wonderful read. From the splendours of the Alpilles to the rocky Calanques of Cassis, from the ancient citadel of the Baux de Provence to the Roman theatre in Orange, this exhibition and its accompanying book take us on a very special tour of Provence, seen through artists’ eyes |
