Exposition “Carole Benzaken, rien de nouveau sous le soleil” au musée de Tessé

In 2006, Carole Benzaken set up her studio on a farm in Mayenne, not far from Le Mans. She went to the Tessé museum and discovered Philippe de Champaigne's Vanité. This was the starting point for this exhibition, which looks at the passage of time and movement, two themes that were already topical in the 17th century. The exhibition brings together more than sixty works, combining different materials and techniques such as painting, drawing, printmaking and video. A great deal of attention is paid to the play of light and shadow, particularly through the use of backlighting.
For almost 30 years, Carole Benzaken has been creating a body of work made up of blurs, layers and strata, as well as vivid colours and intense blacks and whites. She combines small and large formats and uses motifs such as plants to contrast the speed of everyday life with the slow, meditative renewal of nature.
