Featured exhibition - VESTIGES

by Yvette Depaepe
Published the 9th of March 2026

 

This months' featured exhibition is titled  'Vestiges' by Jean-Luc BILLET 

Long before they became part of these photomontages, these creations were first of all clay creations.
My sources of inspiration: the huts of Cameroon, the adobe architecture of Morocco, the « bories » of Provence or the « Tellem » habitat of Bandiagara.
But also the influence of artists who at the time were playing with the boundaries between sculpture and architecture.
After firing, the elements were assembled into models and combined with sand tinted with ochre pigment.
Later on, I added sculptures built and modelled in the same clay, stemming from my fascination for the creations of Black Africa and Oceania.
This was followed by a few exhibitions of which there are still ephemeral traces in some forgotten catalogues: associative or private galleries, cultural places, sculptors’ biennial, that was a long time ago, between 1987 and 2000.



I invite you to explore this unique exhibition, which showcases old vestiges alongside sculptures modelled in the same clay by the photographer himself and more interesting information.

This exhibition which will be exposed on our opening page  / Gallery throughout March 2026.
