Exhibition from 5 September to 3 October 2026
Opening: Saturday 5 September, 5.00 pm to 8.00 pm
From watercolour to oil painting, from screen-printing to engraving, the new exhibition at the Galerie Robet Dantec showcases large-format works by renowned artists from the French and international art scenes. It offers visitors the chance to be swept away by these immersive works, which reveal different perspectives depending on the viewer’s distance.
The superb large-scale works in Indian ink and salt by Yann Bagot, a leading figure on the current French art scene, draw us into seascapes, mineral landscapes and woodland scenes. Meanwhile, the screen prints by Ugo Arsac, a digital artist who recently won an award in the Immersive competition at the Cannes Film Festival, bring to life unknown and mysterious underground landscapes.
A large oil diptych by Chloé Silbano, a young French artist already making her mark on the international scene, and a gold-leaf painting by Arthur Lambert, winner of the Jury Prize at the Salon de Montrouge, offer an original take on contemporary painting.
The exhibition also features large watercolours by the Italian artist Alberto Cont, a leading figure in contemporary abstract art and a former pupil of Olivier Debré, and by Ilhem Ellouze, a Tunisian artist whose work has contributed to the recognition of contemporary Tunisian painting since the 1990s. An impressive drawing by the Taiwanese artist YU Jen-chih will also be on display for the first time in Nantes.
