Bernadette Chéné, A l'oeuvre, 2023

Monograph devoted to Bernadette Chéné published on 06/01/2023 reports thirty-five years of artistic work, initiated in the 1980s. It approaches the work through materials and gestures. Sheets, blotters, paper, newspapers, bamboo, pine needles, wicker…. and now metal unfold a succession of chapters that the artist approaches with the same curiosity, the same simplicity and the same necessity. In this spirit, the texts have been chosen from among texts by authors who have marked certain exhibitions or decisive stages of the
artist’s journey.

Caribaï, L’empreinte du vent, Silvana Editoriale, 2021

This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition “In a Floating World” held at the Museum of Asian Arts in Nice (May – December 2021), and edited in the form of a leporello by Silvana Editoriale.

Inspired by the architecture of the Musée départemental des arts asiatiques in Nice, Caribaï created L’empreinte du vent.
This monumental work, 33 metres long, combines ink painting, collage and engraving on wooden panels, and reproduces in fragments reminiscences of sensations and dialogues with both the architecture of Kenzô Tange and the museum’s precious collection of
Buddha collection in the museum. The question of the landscape is posed and crossed by cross-lighting between East and West.

Text by Adrien Bossard, director of the Asian Art Museum of Nice.

ANNA MARK, LES LIEUX ET LE TEMPS, JEAN-PASCAL LÉGER, PAUKER COLLECTION, 2021,,

This new publication in Hungarian and French, published by the Pauker Collection in 2021, is a monograph that reviews Anna Mark’s various works, including Reliefs, Gouaches, Pen Drawings and Aquatint and Etchings. The works are accompanied by texts by Jean-Pascal Léger and Passuth Kristina and a selection of poems.

CATHERINE FRANÇOIS, Monography, Guy Duplat, Stève Polus. Published by Prisme Eds, 2021

Published in November 2021, this important monograph illustrates the prolific career of the artist: thirty years of sculpture, from the more figurative works of the beginning, to abstraction and the assemblies of materials, with glass or resin, which announced the recent recycling of the scraps of all kinds of materials produced by man. Throughout these pages, and in the diversity of the successive periods of the artist, we find this guideline that asserts itself over time: to be the echo chamber of the messages of nature. The most famous of his works, “Tomorrow’s Man” installed facing the sea on one of the breakwaters of Knokke, did it not already say in 2009, the vanity of man facing the elements? His fragility? And the imperative need to be part of Nature rather than to dispose of it? A creativity that expresses itself with all the energy of the living.

Alain Veinstein, Papiers peints, Éd. Seuil, 2017

Radio presenter and producer A. Veinstein began painting in 2014. The man who has spent most of his life interviewing other people has begun to question himself through painting. The world he paints is peopled with allusions and enigmas that evoke a sense of strangeness and disquiet. Reproductions of the works are preceded by a text in which he explains his approach.
