Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Jean-Paul Marcheschi, an internationally-renowned Bastia artist, with the exhibition "Shadows and Lights in the Mediterranean". Until 30 October, discover his powerful and spellbinding works, presented in the former Saint-Barthélemy oratory (opposite the Maison des Confréries), located in the Upper Town.
Six major creations, inspired by Mediterranean storms, adorn the walls and nooks and crannies of these emblematic premises. Ghostly silhouettes, black wax crows, ships engulfed by the sea, 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.
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.
Admission free.
