“Night Stroll” by Daniel Barré until December 31, 2011, at CAL Gorbella
Daniel Barré, a former building project manager specializing in the restoration of old stones, excels in the representation of streets and buildings: picturesque streets, buildings, squares, public facilities, characters, and objects that populate our avenues and alleys… The artist shares with us the emotions he felt during his urban wanderings.
“Retrospective” by Patrick de Beaussier until December 31, 2011, at CAL Caucade
Patrick de Beaussier is a painter, sculptor, poet, and writer. His various passions always bring him back to the essential: the line he masters so well and which pervades all his work. This line is found everywhere, in his elegant and sharp prose and his verses that often accompany his paintings. He connects in three dimensions sculptures where bodies reveal themselves. A very fine technique at the service of abundant imagination and creativity.
