EXHIBITION: MEMOIRE DE SONGE – CERAMIC PAINTINGS BY LAURE EXPOSITO
After spending 35 years on the Côte Fleurie in Honfleur — years devoted to teaching the art of ceramics — I set up the Atelier Autres Terres in Tanis, in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel… and it is with great pleasure that I return to these cobbled streets to present my ceramic paintings in Honfleur, at the gallery located at 17 Rue Cachin.
As an artist working with earth and living matter, my approach is rooted in a physical and poetic partnership with the elements; my compositions arise from the encounter between sedimentary slate, porcelain and the alchemy of Raku. Influenced by the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, I favour raw materials, asymmetry and the marks of time. Inspired by the geometry of the Bi disc, my works combine clay with photographic images taken both by day and by night. Conceived as ephemerides of the invisible, they unite the microcosm and the macrocosm.
Imprinting the living onto matter thus becomes an act of poetic resistance — a way of giving form to this thought by Gaston Bachelard: ‘Matter retains the memory of dreams’ … and so I invite you to come and discover this interpretation.
