Discover the world of Jean-Paul Marcheschi, an internationally renowned artist from Bastia, through the exhibition "Shadows and Lights in the Mediterranean", organised in partnership with the Collectivité de Corse.
Six works are on show across Corsica until 30 October. Inspired by Mediterranean storms, these creations take on emblematic locations: ghostly silhouettes, black wax crows, sunken ships, luminous figures confronting the shadows... Each piece reflects the duality dear to the artist, who paints with a singular tool: fire. Wax, ash, soot and flame replace the traditional brush, creating unique textures and effects.
He concludes his exhibition in Bonifacio with the installation 'Météore: Stella Cadente', which highlights the theme of Light and Shadow that characterises the Mediterranean identity and provides a sensitive illustration of the richness and diversity it brings to our region. The exhibition is on show in the former Saint-Barthélemy chapel (opposite the Maison des Confréries), in the Upper Town.
Influenced by Goya and Dante, Marcheschi explores the boundaries between hell, purgatory and paradise, using a deliberately limited palette of black, brown and ochre, with red as a vibrant escape.
An immersive artistic experience, between mystery and light, not to be missed by all lovers of contemporary art and strong visual sensations.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Admission free.
