Exposition “Joyeuse Mélancolie”

The Médiathèque de Chambray-lès-Tours welcomes Koye, painter, illustrator and muralist, for his exhibition “Joyeuse Mélancolie”. Between light and shadow, the artist explores the links between Man and Nature, using the animal figure as a symbol, a metaphor for human feelings. Through a selection of works in which bright colors and muted nuances coexist with tenderness, the artist gives form to a complex emotion: melancholy, not as pure sadness, but as a state suspended between memory and hope. He seeks to capture fragments of thought and feeling in compositions somewhere between abstract and figurative, which he stages in a fragmented, comic-book-like fashion.
