Mark your calendars: from December 5, 2024, to February 11, 2025, Galerie Nea invites you to a visual and emotional journey with its latest exhibition, “Ici et Ailleurs”. This curated collection showcases the work of three exceptional artists—Matthieu Pialoux, Laurence Biaggi, and Laetitia Mozziconacci—each bringing their unique perspective to the theme of place and imagination.

 

Three artists, three materials, three sensibilities

 Laetitia Mozziconacci brings softness and intricacy to the exhibition with her contemporary textile art. Her poetic embroidery pieces weave curves, lines, and volumes into narratives that are both tactile and visual, highlighting the beauty of design and architecture through threads.

Matthieu Pialoux turns the familiar streets of Marseille into captivating canvases. His paintings explore the delicate interplay between nature and urban life, blending figurative and abstract elements. His “chimneys” series—a striking symbol of human presence—tells stories of resilience and adaptation within industrial landscapes.

Laurence Biaggi offers a cinematic escape through her lens. Her latest series of photographs, taken during a 2024 road trip across the United States, melds painting, film, and literature into evocative snapshots of iconic and modern landscapes. Expect a nostalgic and fresh journey, where every frame feels like a scene from a dream.

A Conversation with Karine Dubois, Gallery Director

“The gallery, housed in a magnificent 19th-century boutique, hosts collective exhibitions designed to spark emotion and connection. It’s all about creating moments where art and people truly meet,” Karine explains.

With over 20 years of experience in organizing exhibitions, Karine brings a deep passion to every show. “Nea means ‘new’ in Greek and ‘in motion’ in Swedish. That’s exactly what we embody here—constantly evolving, always fresh.”

Join the Celebration

The vernissage (opening reception) takes place on Thursday, December 5, 2024. Expect an evening filled with art, conversation with the artists, and the unmistakable charm of Aix-en-Provence. Whether you’re an art aficionado or a curious traveler, “Ici et Ailleurs” promises a feast for the senses.
