Anaïs Lelièvre develops an immersive practice that blends drawing, ceramics and installation, drawing inspiration from mineral fragments she collects during her explorations of various sites. Through multiplication and changes of scale, she creates layered environments permeated by dynamics of construction, collapse, movement and memory.

At the art centre, modular structures inspired by magmatic and sedimentary materials stand facing one another. In this multi-layered and multifaceted visual journey, a sensitive geology comes to life, from which the profound resonances of time emerge: those of the subsoil, those of ocean currents, those of boats rising to the surface, those of the transformations of this chapel, those of archaic houses, and so many more…

Elsa Tomkowiak’s work unfolds in close dialogue with the spaces she occupies. At the intersection of painting and sculpture, she creates immersive installations in bold, saturated colours, conceived as volumes to be traversed, offering an experience that is both spatial and sensory.

At the art centre, between verticality and horizontality, partitions in flamboyant colours unfold across the space. Suspended, they intersect as a symbol of encounter, redrawing the geometry of the venue. As visitors wander through, the colours come to life, blend together and transform, evoking a sense of time in motion.

In partnership with Le Volume, cultural centre in Vern-sur-Seiche.
Two simultaneous exhibitions offer the chance to discover different facets of Elsa Tomkowiak’s work.
At Le Volume from 28 April to 10 June

A plant landscape to explore, like a stroll through a poetic, dreamlike universe. Between anchoring and elevation, plants fashioned from birch branches and bark fabric stand or float in the chapel space. An immersive, timeless moment, where the imagination opens up with every step.
