It is an exhibition which is worth the detour. For fans of minimalist art, the squirrel space, near the Place du Capitole, hosts the works of Jacques Tison from January 14 to March 26, 2022. His art is inspired by the landscape that surrounds him, the images he meets here and there. “The images come to us,” he said in a statement.

The artist, born in Cherbourg but who lives in Lafrançaise in Tarn-et-Garonne, plunges visitors into a vision imprinted by the repetition of reality, which, a fortiori, creates a story. “Seeing the same thing every day, making the same journey, being confronted with the same spaces, an imprint on the retina and transforming into an image”, explains Jacques Tison.

Fiction fused with reality

Through around forty works exhibitions at the Squirrel Space Foundation, the spectators walk between volumes: paintings sometimes placed on plots instead of being hung on the walls, unpainted white canvases and large flat white wall give an impression of continuity to the whole. The aim of this arrangement is to create a “coherent and fluid” space where fiction merges almost naturally with reality.
