- Chemins vers l'invisible exhibition by artist Nansky
Dates: June 22 to September 22, 2024
In Chemins vers l'invisible (Paths to the Invisible), artist Nansky seeks to bring to life themes that are sometimes difficult to tackle, such as ecology, disease, war and spirituality.
In an astonishing way, and without the aid of figurative art, his paintings allow us to see and feel the invisible. Through color, he reconnects us to the emotional side of each of us, while using abstraction to give us the freedom to let our imaginations speak.
A 48-page catalog has been produced for the occasion.

ART IN THE CITY
Every year, throughout the summer, the town of Issoire offers an original theme-based tour of the town center. This tour, featuring monumental works by a particular artist, will take you through the narrow streets, boulevards and squares of Issoire.
To reach the public, you have to keep reinventing yourself! We then invite the public to vote, from among a selection of works.
The winning work will then become part of the Issoire municipal collection.
It's a great way to make these works your own, and to encourage visitors' curiosity.
