This exhibition will take place in the reception room of the Théophile de Viau space, behind the town hall of Aiguillon.

 

We had fun matching the works of Bordeaux artist Gérard Trignac with those of Giovanni Piranési, aka Piranèse, an 18th century Italian engraver. Gérard Trignac was greatly influenced by the latter's work, just like him, he was trained as an architect. This is the reason why, with the complicity of the city and the Gajac Museum of Villeneuve sur Lot, whom we thank, we are going to exhibit in the same room the engravings of these two Masters. The works focus mainly on the themes of imaginary architecture and fantastic landscapes. The drawings explore the same vein, plays of light and shadow are important, with a wide range of gray. There are only few human presences, sometimes only tiny figures go almost unnoticed and blend into the architectural environment. We invite you to find the similarities between these two works.
