Art and Wine Exhibition at Château Mauvanne

It was the lords of Mauvans who gave the estate its name in the 17th century. The château, built in 1844, is nestled in a park spanning more than one hectare along the roadside, giving it a strategic location between the sea and the mountains, facing the Îles d’Or off Hyères. This estate is owned by independent winemakers: the Rahal family since 1999. The estate is hosting its first exhibition featuring pen-and-ink drawings and paintings by Jean-Marc Tourreilles, in which faces emerge (fragile, sometimes hesitant presences). Jean-Marc Tourreilles’ art reveals how an image is born of time. Starting with a scribble, he layers intertwined lines until forms emerge that seem to arise of their own accord. A slow, patient metamorphosis, where the material transforms before our eyes. Transparencies, overlays, variations in tools: each work is a passage, a shift, an apparition.
