At 2.15 pm: performance "Mémoire végétales", by Ève Pietruschi At 2.45 pm: reading of the book "Le branlin" by Clémentine Taupin For this first exhibition of 2026, the Galerie Eva Vautier has chosen to present an intimate dialogue. Two gazes, two generations. On one side, Gérald Panighi; on the other, Clémentine Taupin. Gérald Panighi graduated in 2001 from the Villa Arson. From Gérald Panighi's practice, we keep in mind these drawings in the raisin format, in which the artist transfers, at their centre and by means of tracing paper, fragments of illustrations drawn from popular culture and the mass media. Clémentine Taupin was born in 2001, the same year Gérald Panighi graduated from the Villa Arson, a school she also attended. She graduated from it in 2024. The daughter and granddaughter of farmers, she carries within her the urgency of a family farm in search of a successor. Although she has not taken up working the land, painting has taken over. Their sensibilities diverge, but their works converse in a shared concern to preserve what is in danger of disappearing.
