Summer exhibition
Lieux de passage(s) From 5 June to 30 August, Anne Saussois and Laurent Noël are exhibiting their works at Trizay Abbey. Discover their artistic worlds, which explore the concept of passage and our perspective on the landscapes we pass through every day. Summer exhibition Du 5 juin au 30 août 2026, l’Abbaye de Trizay présente Lieux de passage(s), une exposition qui réunit les univers de deux artistes : Laurent Noël et Anne Saussois, dont les démarches artistiques se rejoignent dans une même attention au mouvement et à l’expérience sensible du monde. Mis en regard, leurs travaux dialoguent autour de la notion de parcours – parcours de l’eau ou parcours du corps et transforment des expériences physiques en œuvres picturales. Dans les deux cas, l’œuvre ne se contente pas de représenter : elle propose une traversée, où le regard du visiteur devient lui-même un mouvement, une exploration entre mémoire etimaginaire Practical information From 5 june to 30 august From10 am to 7 pm Prices €6.50 / adult €4.50 / teenager (13-17) €3 / child (6-12) Free for children under 6 Information +33 (0)5 46 82 34 25 contact@abbayedetrizay17.fr Introduction to the artists Anne Saussois Walking – whether in the city or in the countryside – is the common thread running through Anne Saussois’s entire body of work. Standing before her canvases, the viewer is invited to enter the space, to let their gaze wander amongst the contours and depths of a precariously balanced geometry. Inspired by the memories of her wanderings through the city, Anne Saussois’s paintings convey the experience of the body moving through urban space: it is the architecture that unfolds before the eye and the imagination in motion. The artist reconstructs her visual and sensory impressions through line, but also through the sensitive use of colour, shadow and light. By playing with the transparency of layered colours, and making use of the white of the canvas or paper, she creates multiple passages, openings and depths that lend a real sense of relief to the flat surface of the painting. The viewer’s eye climbs the stairs, traverses volumes, ventures into the depths of mysterious spaces and scales a labyrinth of scaffolding … Diana Quinby Laurent Noël Laurent Noël, a painter, draughtsman, engraver and author, lives and works between Anjou and the Atlantic coast. For his latest series, *Les Jusantes*, he drew inspiration from the patterns discovered in deposits of seaweed, woven and left behind with each tide by the movement of the water. Along the foreshores, the artist captures through line and words what the ocean ‘has made’ (Mare fecit is, incidentally, the title of one of his poetic texts, recently published by Editions Alcyone). Brought back to the studio, these organic forms become, through paintings, drawings, prints or artist’s books, metaphors for memory, time, transience, loss and renewal. The painter’s gesture and that of the water converge in a graphic expression that is both spontaneous and structured. Dialogues unfold between form and content, here and elsewhere, presence and absence, matter and temporality, space and time. The works offer an experience that is at times contemplative and immersive through their large formats, and at other times intimate through artist’s books and prints, in a poetic and sensual approach to the line that invites the viewer to connect these traces to their own story.
