Ri-Grotta
This project was born on Christmas Day 2014 and was realised in the spring of the same year inside the abandoned former university canteen Daniel fuscher in Toulouse.
Through this artistic exploration, the concept of the cave is taken up again in a contemporary context, where risk becomes an integral part of the beauty and authenticity of art that returns to its primordial state.
Within this ‘urban cave’, the absence of time limits and controls makes the experience participatory, involving viewers in artistic risks and decisions, with the possibility of directly influencing the works, either by preserving or destroying them.
The works, depicting intimate everyday scenes and moments, are painted in the studio from materials found on site, which are subsequently re-inserted into the Grotto, albeit in different spaces in such a way that they appear to be generated by the environment itself.
