Discover the world of Jean-Paul Marcheschi, an internationally renowned artist from Bastia, through the exhibition
"Shadows and Lights in the Mediterranean" exhibition, 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, whose work Le Gouffre highlights the theme of light and shadow that is so characteristic of the Mediterranean identity, and illustrates in a sensitive way the richness and diversity that it brings to our region.
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.
Former Saint-Barthélemy chapel (opposite the Maison des Confréries), in the Upper Town.
Admission free.
