This is one of the few modern art programs in Toulouse, which is surprising for such a go-ahead place. We managed to catch the exhibition at Les Abattoirs - a fantastic space of old red brick arches and modern glass walls. This year's theme is ' d'un autre monde' (from another world), and collected together 14 international artists who channelled elemental energy in their work (well that's what I understand from the intro to the programme).
I particularly liked Sergei Jensen's work. He has a strong textile history, so he has canvasses which comprise two pieces of cloth stitched together, or he's 'painting' with bleach and dyes ( I learned this from listening to the presentation made to a group of 6 year olds - how great to see this stuff at that age)
Then there was Joe Bradley who (I learned from another group of youngsters) was just looking to have fun with his paints. This is the result - lovely textures!
