Weekend Events on the French Riviera in Antibes
Art Exhibitions – Alexandre Simonin Gallery
Guillaume Cavalier’s work oscillates between two worlds: that of matter and that of spirit. A figurative narrative emerges in his pictorial compositions, where order sometimes coexists with chaos.
His generous palette and the grace of his lines play with the eye of those who dare to observe. A part of his work reflects a civilization in turmoil. Another part seeks to make a sensitive and singular universe intelligible.
