Exposition Pascal Pichon : "Ce qui demeure".

Seven years after the exhibition devoted to the painter Pascal Pichon, "Le Pays où l'on n'arrive jamais", the Les Montparnos gallery is delighted to invite you to a new gathering around his poetic work.

Pascal Pichon Ce qui demeure Images. A world of images. This world, ours. And each of us, become that gaze searching among these representations, these visions, these imitations, these fabrications. But sometimes, there, given to be seen through these images: presence.

An image of presence. Such are the paintings of Pascal Pichon. Representations of what is. To see in them, for example, memory, the portrait of a face one might have thought lost, reappearing in pure presence. Memory? Yes, at first glance. But something other.

Not the slow emergence of a tender bygone past, but the unexpected, unhoped-for appearance of the... of the poetic. The poetic of seeing, to be savoured like a childhood treat. Pascal Pichon works to place the world before our eyes as poetry.

This poetry, which is nothing other, is it not, than the world carrying on the creation it is. A memory, then, of creation still unfolding before our eyes. Pascal Pichon's small formats. Their frames like jewel cases. Poetic jewels. The small formats of what endures.

The jewels of seeing, there, just a little, a little apart from the world of images. Pascal Pichon, or the patient, so discreet representation of fragments of views onto poetry.

The frames like small windows, and his paintings like what endures, what is there and that we gradually recognise as so inward. Views that seem almost blurred at times, or clouded with the sepia of some past. But it is us, each of us, and the forgetting we do of what endures.

Pascal Pichon, or the moving poetry of what endures. 30pm. We will share a warm moment together, in the presence of the painter and the whole Les Montparnos team. The exhibition runs from 8 October to 7 November 2026.
