Fabien Verschaere was invited to stay for a month in a hotel room in Chinon. A solitary traveller, he produced 400 watercolours on paper in 40 “watercolour boxes”, thanks to the patronage of ArjoWiggins.
\n“New Chinon” presents this entire series.<\/p>\n
This visit enabled the artist to explore in greater depth the intimate relationship he has with watercolour. Going against the grain of contemporary production, it is a medium that he has chosen from the outset to express his inner world and his emotional journey with the utmost spontaneity. <\/p>\n
Other elements of the exhibition are reminiscent of Kinshasa, where the artist took up residency immediately after his stay in Chinon. Two cities that were so far apart were brought together by chance in the artist’s calendar. The result is a cross-fertilisation of history, and we can see the beginnings of this in Chinon with a fresco inspired by this African experience, and a garment made in collaboration with art students in Kinshasa. <\/p>\n
This exhibition was made possible thanks to the support of ArjoWiggins and the annual partnership between the town of Chinon and the CCC, Centre de Cr\u00e9ation Contemporaine de Tours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
