Works designed together, by two friends. The works of the engraver Véronique Mir Nezan and Danielle Dubois Adjagba can be discovered in May at the In Situ gallery in Nogent-le-Rotrou.
She started with painting. Then a meeting with a tailor, a printer of works of art, “put her foot in the door” and made her try engraving, a medium to which she has now devoted her time for fifteen years. Véronique Mir Nezan is exhibiting for the second time at the In Situ gallery managed by the Label Friche association.

Around fifty works to discover
“I exhibited paintings with a friend several years ago. Then I led workshops with a press,” explains the artist who lives in Île-de-France. It is with a seamstress friend, Danielle Dubois Adjagba, that she is exhibiting her engravings this time. “Danielle made fabric dies, whereas traditionally it is zinc, copper or wood. I took them again with my press. »
A project that the two friends have worked on for the last two years. “I tested all the fabrics, all the materials. I did a lot of tests, shares Véronique Mir Nezan who now works around trees and nature. There are always surprises, revelations in the press. »
Around fifty works can be discovered until Saturday May 25. The opening takes place on Saturday May 4 at 6 p.m.
