L’Autre Intérieur
Hortus Conclusus ou le jardin enclos. Autour de cette figure de la poésie mystique, métaphore de la
Vierge et de l’Immaculée Conception, sont rassemblés les travaux de cinq artistes dont les pratiques
souvent autodidactes ou soustraites au regard explorent les possibilités de mondes suggérés ou dictés
par un autre intérieur.
Un ensemble de travaux de Marcella Barcelò et notamment certain de ses carnets d'adolescence
côtoieront les récentes icônes et vierges sur papier de Solange Knopf, les boîtes-monde de Josette
Exandier, mystérieux assemblages qu'elle réalisa tout au long de sa vie, dialogueront avec les bestiaires
à l’encre de Chine de Guylaine Bourbon et les compositions florales que l'abbé Coutant, proche
ami de Chaissac, réalisa près de vingt années durant à l’hospice des Petites soeurs des pauvres.
