Marie-Thérèse Vacossin at Galerie Oniris: A Solo Exhibition Exploring Colour and Painting

From 28 January to 6 March 2027, Galerie Oniris in Rennes presents a solo exhibition by Marie-Thérèse Vacossin. Visitors are invited to discover the artist's pictorial world, where colour, density and the subtle interplay of chromatic harmonies play an essential role. Alongside her paintings, large-scale plexiglass sculptures will enrich the exhibition and offer new perspectives on her work.

Marie-Thérèse Vacossin: Exploring the Infinite Possibilities of Colour

Marie-Thérèse Vacossin's painting is distinguished by an in-depth exploration of colour and the relationships between colours. In her works, colour is never merely a decorative element: it is the very subject of the painting, its material and its language. The artist develops a subtle approach to chromatic relationships, nuances and visual vibrations. Colours respond to one another, overlap and find their balance in compositions where each hue occupies its place within a carefully constructed whole. This exploration gives rise to painting of remarkable visual density, in which colour harmonies gradually reveal their full complexity. Contrasts, tonal variations and transitions from one colour to another invite the viewer to engage in an attentive and ever-renewed visual experience.

A Painting of Density and Subtle Harmonies

The exhibition at Galerie Oniris will place particular emphasis on this essential aspect of Marie-Thérèse Vacossin's work: the density of colour and the richness of its harmonies. Through her compositions, the artist creates a pictorial space in which colours engage in multiple relationships. Nuances interact with one another, creating delicate balances and sometimes unexpected harmonies. Painting thus becomes a true field of visual experimentation. It engages the viewer's gaze, plays with perception and gradually reveals, through attentive observation, a wealth of variations and subtleties. Each work offers a unique experience, rooted in the perception of colours, their intensity and their ability to transform our relationship with pictorial space.

Large-Scale Plexiglass Sculptures: Colour in Space

Alongside the paintings, the exhibition will also feature large-scale plexiglass sculptures. These three-dimensional works will bring another dimension to Marie-Thérèse Vacossin's artistic exploration. Moving beyond the confines of the canvas, her work extends into the realm of sculpture and spatial experience. Plexiglass, a transparent and luminous material, offers new ways of exploring colour, light and perception. The sculptures will resonate with the paintings, extending the artist's visual concerns into space. The dialogue between painting and sculpture will be one of the highlights of this solo exhibition, offering visitors different ways of experiencing colour and its presence.
