Until Sunday March 9 inclusive, i.e. for two months, Château La Tour de Bessan welcomes “three artists, three universes, six hands” in its renovated cellars and tasting room as well as in its new reception room, which We owe it to the Toulouse architect Vincent Defos du Rau.
Open to all and in the presence of the artists, the inauguration of the exhibition “A Suspended Time” will take place on Thursday February 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. In the reception room, listed contemporary artist Aurélie Sonnier-Calluaud, known as Asca, presents a retrospective of her work from the last two years, oil techniques and pointillism. Asca has already exhibited in the old cellars in November 2018, at the start of his professional career marked by his self-portrait of a zebra, striped in bright colors.
As for Catherine Calluaud, she exhibits escapist watercolors in a naive style, made of sun and colors, tree houses, Provençal-inspired landscapes… An invitation to daydream. Danielle Justeau, a student of Asca, has for her part invested the contemporary cellars with large formats using a knife, oils worked like watercolors, on the themes: music, landscapes and monuments. She explores the use of white to play with transparencies.
These three ladies offer a time of escape into their respective creative worlds, a stroll in the land of colors, a suspended time just for visitors, who are also wine lovers. “We have chosen to combine these two arts of patience, passion, perseverance, sensitivity, textures and materials… One aims to delight the pupils, the other the taste buds” write the artists.
-“This is why Art and wine guided tours in four languages will be possible,” adds Marie-Laure Lurton, the hostess.
Every day of the week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on weekends by appointment on 05 57 88 84 23 or on [email protected] or with Asca on 06 34 19 77 13 and on social networks.
