Exposition Alluvion d’Eva Nielsen – Le MAT

The MAT is hosting an exhibition by Eva Nieslen in the Chapelle des Ursulines from 24 January to 12 April!

Eva Nielsen explores the boundaries between photography, screen printing and painting. Her works, made up of fragments of images and an assemblage of different materials, are spread across a wide range of media, including oil, silk and organza. Eva Nielsen, winner of the Résidence Bullukian – Fontevraud, designed Alluvion following a road trip. The exhibition is presented as an artistic and spiritual odyssey between the banks of the Loire and the Rhône.

Eva Nielsen’s work is full of mysterious panoramas, with impenetrable passages where reality seems to break down only to rebuild itself in sedimented reliefs with sandy textures, like imprints of geological time. The paint is then invaded by these fine particles of residue that slowly settle and dissolve on the photographic paper, canvas and veil. Minute traces, patient and active, which surface and which the artist translates into compositions of intense but fleeting colours.

At the invitation of the MAT, Eva Nielsen has imagined a new Alluvion on the scale of the Chapelle des Ursulines.

Curators: Fanny Robin, Artistic Director of the Fondation Bullukian, Emmanuel Morin, Artistic and Cultural Director of the Abbaye royale de Fontevraud and Isabelle Tellier, Director of the MAT centre d’art contemporain du Pays d’Ancenis.

Free admission, Saturdays and Sundays from 3pm to 6pm and by appointment at MAT Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, Ursulines chapel.
