Carole Rivalin: TuTTI fruTTi - exposition personnelle

Overview

Carole Rivalin is back at the Oniris Gallery in Rennes with a new show, TuTTi fruTTi, where she's moving away from works on paper and wall pieces to try out compositions that are more like paintings.

Carole Rivalin who has always worked with a subtle palette and delicate color combinations, invites us here to a profound sensory experience. Her works, which only reveal themselves fully when viewed, engage us in an exploration of invisible nuances, layers of materials, and textures that give rise to an intimate and shifting universe.

 

The exhibition combines color, form, and memory, offering a journey through interior landscapes where each work seems like a light chromatic intrusion. Through her superimposed layers, gestures, and silences, Carole Rivalin conjures up traces of time and fragments of suspended emotions. She questions the tension between presence and disappearance, while inviting the viewer to slow down and immerse themselves in this exploration of the invisible. The exhibition is designed to offer a breathing space between the works: some more intimate, others more generous, each playing with light to bring out relief and nuances.

 

TuTTi fruTTi unfolds like a notebook of sensations, where each work is understood as a fragment of a larger narrative, an invitation to intimate and personal contemplation. Music plays a major role in several pieces in this exhibition, suggesting rhythms and chords that run through the compositions, further amplifying the sensory nature of the work. In the fourth room, large immersive paintings plunge the visitor into an atmosphere where color dominates and seems to envelop the space.

 

Although based in Saint-Nazaire, Carole Rivalin maintains a special relationship with Rennes, where she studied at the Beaux-Arts and created a monumental work at the Museum of Fine Arts. For the past ten years, she has exhibited regularly at the Oniris Gallery. 

 

"TuTTi fruTTi", a solo exhibition by Carole Rivalin at the Oniris Gallery, can be seen in Rennes from Friday, October 3 to Saturday, November 22, 2025.

 

Opening reception open to all: Friday, October 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the presence of the artist.
