On the edge of infinity
… a new exhibition at Bel Œil in Nice: the paintings of Patrick Mirété.
Patrick Mirété tells us about his work: “My artistic practice is a delicate balance between inner contemplation and outer expression, where multiple influences converge to give birth to a visual language that transcends time. I’d like to invite the viewer to reflect on the stories hidden in the solitude of the characters depicted.
I try to capture intimate moments while infusing them with a bright modern aesthetic, to explore the interaction between people and their environment, maintaining an atmosphere of contemplative solitude.
As a counterpoint to the ‘figures’ – most of which are revealed by light – the ‘American Nights’ are still lifes, landscapes or architectural perspectives bathed in moonlight, in the total absence of human presence.
To me, ‘American Night’ is more nocturnal than the actual night. Their very strangeness is what brings them more mystery and poetry than images actually taken at night. In this sense, they portray an ‘ideal night’.”
We are delighted to welcome Patrick’s work, to associate it with our contemporary ambiences at Bel Œil in Nice, and to offer a fitting home to this fine artwork. More photos to come after the opening on Thursday 28 November 2024.
Please note that the opening of this exhibition will be held in partnership with Bang & Olufsen Nice, who will be presenting an exclusive limited-edition re-issue of the iconic Beosystem 9000, the legendary 6-CD vertical hi-fi system from the 90s!
