An exhibition dedicated to the art of French artist Eugène Carrière, titled "Out of the Shadows," is currently on view, showcasing nearly forty paintings from the artist's most significant period. Carrière, often lauded as "an artist's artist," profoundly influenced generations of creatives, including luminaries such as Rodin, Matisse, and Picasso.
The exhibition invites viewers to step into the ethereal world of Carrière's vision, exploring his unique ability to capture the beauty of humanity through subtle gradations of light and shadow. His distinctive style, characterized by soft, monochromatic palettes and layered illumination, creates a sculptural depth within his canvases.

In addition to the display of paintings, the exhibition features an immersive experience designed to allow visitors to fully appreciate Carrière's ability to transcend time and space, capturing the essence of the human spirit on canvas.
"Out of the Shadows" is not only a celebration of Carrière's artistic achievements but also an opportunity to rediscover a treasure of art history that has been somewhat obscured by time. The exhibition invites audiences to delve into his poetic world of shadows, experiencing the infinite possibilities that lie between light and darkness.
