ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The exhibition “Antarctica-Shanshui” brings together a set of large-format paintings, ink on paper and drawings made by French-American artist Vicky Colombet between 2012 and today. Inscribed in both Western and Asian traditions, Colombet’s artworks offer a singular and striking encounter, in conversation with Chinese landscape art as much as French and American abstraction.
VICKY COLOMBET
Based in Paris and New York, artist Vicky Colombet is a laureate of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation. In 2020, Vicky Colombet took part in the exhibition “Impression, soleil levant” in Shanghai, with her work exhibited alongside the iconic painting of Claude Monet “Impression, sunrise”. In 2021, the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris devoted an important exhibition to her in dialogue with Claude Monet. Colombet’s works are part of important public and private collections in Europe, the United States and now in China. She is represented by The Elkon Gallery, New York and Dutko Gallery, Paris.
ARTISTIC CONFIDENCES
Conceived by Myriam Kryger, this series unfolds around Colombet’s “Antarctica-Shanshui” exhibition and the first iteration of a series of events entitled “Artistic Confidences”. Art historian Marianne Mathieu and journalist Kathleen Evin guide us on this journey through the arts, in the company of creator-explorers concerned with connecting continents and building bridges between shores.

_ With the visual artist Vicky Colombet, on Wednesday 15 March, 6-7 pm
_ With the cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton, on Tuesday 4 April, 6:30-7:30 pm
