Philippe Cogné - L’œuvre du temps
The exhibition
Philippe Cognée is the guest of honour at the temporary exhibition at the Musée Paul-Valéry in Sète: Philippe Cognée. The Work of Time.
Having lived in Africa for twelve years, on his return to France he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, graduating in 1982.
From then on, his obsession with capturing the ephemeral in painting began, so as to go beyond time and capture the true essence of things.
Divided into four parts, the exhibition retraces his artistic career in chronological order. Under the direction of Stéphane Tarroux and Olivier Weil, a universe unfolds in which memories of Africa and representations of the banal intersect, in a struggle against oblivion.
