Les Portes du Dragon - Portes ouvertes de la galerie-atelier Art Quam Anima

Programme

The gallery is open continuously from 11am to 8pm: come in at any time, without booking, to see the work and meet the artists. Both artists are there throughout the three days, and they work on site: between the events, you can watch them paint and draw live, and talk with them while they work. Two events mark each day.

The Events

The rest of the time, the gallery-atelier is simply a working studio: Arnaud Quercy and Caroline Lopez are present from opening to closing, painting and drawing on site, and happy to talk about the work in progress.

Artist's books — presentation by Caroline Lopez (20 min)
Friday and Saturday at 12pm, Sunday at 2pm. The artist presents her handmade books: a moment to handle them and talk about how they are made.

Piano & painting: ideamorphism live (20 min)
Every day at 6pm. Arnaud Quercy plays jazz harmonic progressions at the piano and shows, on a selection of paintings, what those chords become in colour — including what his colour blindness changes in the way he checks them. Followed by drinks at the entrance — prosecco and fruit juice.

"Paint the Music" workshop (2 h)
Sunday 4 October, 11am–1pm. Painting from listening, guided by Arnaud Quercy. No prior experience needed, materials provided. 12 participants maximum, €70 per person, booking required — the only event that requires registration.
