Exhibition: graduated in 2001 from the Montpellier School of Fine Arts, Gilles Miquelis paints in oil, large-scale, on canvases that sometimes unfold as a diptych, or on small formats, on tracing paper or rhodoids. In this new exhibition, En coulisse, Gilles Miquelis blurs the boundaries between the scandalous and the poetic. These scenes of everyday life, imbued with amorous tensions, transform into paintings where humor meets a palpable unease. An exhibition to see at the Eva Vautier gallery from Tuesday to Saturday until April 5, from 2 PM to 7 PM.
Sunday, March 23
Nice Fair: it is currently ongoing and runs until March 24. For its 79th edition at the Exposition Palace, it offers a great opportunity to discover the latest innovations focusing on four themes: daily well-being, outdoor space, house construction, and automobiles.
Opera: Nice pays tribute to a German virtuoso. Beethoven Intimate is performed by the Bringuier brothers, on piano and conducting. They explore Beethoven’s corpus in its most intimate and personal facets: his Piano Concerto No. 5 and the rare Symphony No. 4. Two works that are part of these pure treasures of power and emotion bequeathed by Beethoven. At 3 PM at the Nice opera.
Comedy: Ahmed Sylla will be at the Palais Nikaia this Sunday at 6 PM. In his new show Origami, the comedian wants to bend over backwards to make you laugh. A solo act in which he reflects on his more or less recent past, punctuated by the portrayal of characters each more amusing than the last.
