Galerie Bigaignon is pleased to announce an exceptional exhibition at the Bonisson Art Center, a contemporary art center in Rognes (13) founded by Christian le Dorze. Curated by Thierry Bigaignon and in accordance with his guiding principle, this exhibition highlights artists who explore the limits of the photographic medium. An extraordinary exhibition featuring a selection of works by 21 artists from February 8 to June 22, 2025.
Henri Cartier-Bresson once said: “To photograph is to put the head, the eye and the heart on the same sight line”. This exhibition, entitled ‘Ligne(s) de Mire’ (sight line), refers both to the history of photography, and to an element that is so essential to every artist, across all media: the line. At times the starting point of all creation, and so often an obsessive element in the artist's work, the line is here shown through a selection of exceptional works (photographs, drawings, paintings and sculptures, from the 1970s to the present day) by artists represented or supported by the gallery. the exhibition takes us on a journey following lines, sometimes as multi-layered as they are hypnotic.
Bigaignon is a contemporary art gallery. The gallery's line is rooted in the avant-garde movements of minimalism, conceptual art, light & space, abstract art, and the fields of experimental and conceptual photography, in which it has played a leading role for almost 10 years. Deeply committed to promoting artists who work with the fundamental elements of light, space and time, whatever the medium used, the gallery contributes to the emergence of a new avant-garde. Thus, with a strong international orientation, the gallery defends and promotes the unique vision of the artists it represents or supports, whether emerging, mid-career or established worldwide, in their quest to propose a new visual vocabulary, to foster a radical approach to art, to question their own medium and explore the full extent of its possibilities.
A contemporary art center near Aix-en-Provence dedicated to artistic exploration and research, the Bonisson Art Center enables artists to develop and showcase their projects. The free, open-access nature of this venue means that a wide public can enjoy this artistic profusion, giving access to an 'extra-sensory' culture, and opening up a new perspective to the minds of those who know how to get lost in it. The Bonisson Art Center is part of the Réseau Plein Sud, a network of over 70 contemporary art venues in the South of France. Its aim is to promote contemporary art throughout the South of France. Art venues to explore in the South of France, an immense artistic journey from Sérignan to Menton.
