À la tombée de la nuit... - Exposition d'Emmanuel Kerner

Join us for an other-worldly exhibition featuring paintings by artist Emmanuel Kerner where each canvas captures the magical transition from day to night. "À la tombée de la nuit..." will focus your gaze on colorful and unusual gardens, eerie and enchanting night forests and mesmerizing water scenes.

So come and lose yourself in the woods at dusk, when the glades are wet and the streams are lapping. The wolf has left. Summer is slowly arriving, and some of the more rebellious shrubs are taking the lead, adorning themselves in delicate colors. The little black bird will sing no more, the sacrifice has been made to the Master of this place, but the reindeer and wild boar can finally rest ... The wolf will return in autumn.

About the artist

Born in Paris in 1969. After spending nine years at art schools in Paris (Corvisart, Olivier de Serres and the Arts Décoratifs de Paris), Emmanuel Kerner began his career as an illustrator at Libération, then soon began working for a large number of French newspapers and magazines (Télérama, Le Monde, J'aime lire, Astrapi...). For several years now, he has been collaborating with the foreign press, notably The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The Daily Telegraph. Alongside his work for the press, he illustrates children's books, and creates visuals for posters, record sleeves and novel covers. More recently, he has been experimenting with collage and painting, often halfway between figuration and abstraction. His work is freer and more experimental, often dreamlike, drawing on the rites and mythologies of primitive cultures, where ghosts and shamans can be both disturbing and grotesque. Landscapes of mountains, forests and gardens, luminous with tawny colors, are also at the heart of his work. Ceramics have also been one of his means of expression in recent years. Since 2003, Emmanuel Kerner has been teaching at the Atelier de Sèvres, a preparatory studio in Paris, but when night falls, he can be found as a D.J., mixing the best of black American music, past and present, behind his turntables.
