 Back to Projects list
Location
Jardin du Foirail, avenue Victor Hugo, 12005 Rodez, France
Year
2014

In collaboration with G. Trégouët

“The solid and the void, neither can be expressed without the other. They are absolutely complementary and positive.”

A museum for Soulages, the French painter of “light” who has inspired us so often was –and still is- a cherished dream. In the town of his birth. Soulages can be seen for what he is: his approach, his attitude and his involvement. Forail, boulevard and backbone for a topography that overlooks the surrounding countryside and the distant mountains, is to be his place. Museum and landscape thus have a mutual feedback, merging into one, like the painter and his work, displaying a wealth of relationships where nothing can be removed, because everything that belongs to this new created world is inherent. Work, museum and landscape: Soulages and Rodez.
