Lou Cohen — En attendant

Art & Exhibits

Palais de l'Athénée

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)
