What to expect

The exhibition Mute – Fabienne Verdier invites the public to discover around forty works by a major figure in the contemporary art scene, presented within architecturally rich historical spaces. For this edition, the paintings are specially staged in dialogue with the impressive volumes of a gallery dedicated to medieval and classical masterpieces, transforming each room into a vast arena where past and modern creation meet.

🌟 Mute – Fabienne Verdier: Immersion into Living Abstraction at the Heart of a Historic Heritage

This rare encounter between Verdier’s expressive painting and the monumental aura of ancient architecture offers a deeply sensory and contemplative experience. Through fluid painterly gestures and a singular mastery of color, the artist explores transformation, inner movement, and the silent energy that animates all artistic forms.

An immersive journey where contemporary art meets great historical eras

What makes this exhibition unique is how the works engage in dialogue with the surrounding historical casts. Sculpted silhouettes, vertical forms, and monumental volumes provide a powerful setting for Verdier’s free and intuitive brushstrokes. Moving through the rooms, visitors literally traverse a field of forces where history and contemporary art respond to each other without ever negating one another.

The paintings, created over the last thirty years, reveal the evolution of the artist’s visual language: intensity in the line, exploration of color as energy, and a search for gestures that transcend simple representation to become phenomena. This subtle play between power and restraint encourages viewers to slow down, observe, and feel.

A privileged moment to discover a cycle of contemporary exhibitions

This exhibition is part of a series devoted to dialogues between modern art and heritage collections. It is therefore a rare opportunity to see how contemporary abstraction fits into a historical continuum while asserting a radical modernity.

The “Mute” journey is also accompanied by a second itinerary dedicated to the legacy of color field painting and those who shaped this major pictorial adventure of the 20th century. Together, the two exhibitions reveal the vitality of painting that continues to reinvent itself.

An unmissable experience during the exhibition period

Booking for this exhibition ensures access to a visual and emotional adventure that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Fabienne Verdier’s works, rarely assembled on such a scale, benefit here from an exceptional presentation. Each painting gains a new dimension in contact with the historic architecture: the depth of the volumes, light sliding over the casts, and monumental perspectives create an almost theatrical immersion.

For visitors, art enthusiasts, students, the curious, groups, and families, it is an ideal opportunity to discover the strength of gesture, the intelligence of composition, and the deeply meditative nature of Verdier’s artistic approach.

Booking your tickets in advance allows you to:

  • avoid queues during busy periods,
  • secure the most convenient visiting time,
  • guarantee your place on the most popular days,
  • enjoy the exhibition under the best possible conditions.

On-site mediation and guidance

To further enrich the visit, mediators are present every day to answer questions, guide the gaze, and help the public understand the works. On specific dates, notably October 22–26, as well as the first Sundays of each month, art history students also provide presentations accessible to all, from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This human presence adds significant value: it allows visitors to discover the artist’s intentions, the techniques used, the connections between the works and the architecture, and the major concepts underlying contemporary abstraction.

Why this exhibition is unmissable

Each painting embodies a form of “mutation”: from inner movement to pictorial expression, from energy to material, from silence to color.

The entire itinerary invites the viewer to have a personal experience: to be surprised, feel the vibration of the brushstroke, and observe how the painting unfolds in space. For many, this exhibition becomes a suspended moment, a time out of everyday life.
