Exposition Dominique Spiessert

Painter, muralist and draughtsman Dominique Spiessert (1952?2024) grew up in a family associated with the Pinder circus.
This colorful, extravagant world nurtured his imagination and his view of the world from an early age.
This retrospective brings together paintings, drawings, notebooks and works on paper, revealing a falsely childlike vocabulary that unfolds stories that are alternately dreamlike and nightmarish.
With a sense of humor and quirkiness, the artist blends personal mythology with scenes from everyday life.
Neither wholly abstract nor figurative, Dominique Spiessert explores the fragility of reality and the power of gesture, in an approach that is at once sober, lively and profoundly humanist.
