États sensibles #2 — Performance de peinture live & piano improvisé

A performance where painting and improvised piano are created simultaneously live, in a spontaneous dialogue between gesture, matter, and sound.

To mark the closing of the STRATES exhibition, États sensibles returns for a second edition: a live performance at the crossroads of painting and improvised music. For one evening, visual artist Clothilde Fricot Mugnerot and pianist Léo Bailac create a work live.

For 30 to 45 minutes, Clothilde produces a large-format canvas before the audience's eyes while Léo simultaneously constructs a piano improvisation. Here, neither medium illustrates the other.

The pictorial gesture and the sound respond to each other, influence each other, and evolve together. The painting modifies the listening, the music acts on the gesture: a spontaneous creation is built in the moment.

The public therefore does not witness the presentation of a finished work, but its creative process. This second edition of États sensibles extends the universe of STRATES, an exhibition presented at Réva from October 13 to November 3, 2026.

Matter, movement, accumulation, and transformation here leave the plane of the canvas to unfold in time, sound, and gesture. The performance on November 2 constitutes the closing event of the exhibition.
