Description

Villa Arson invites artist Dany Albiach, recipient of the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation’s 2025 Grant and a recent graduate of Villa Arson, to present his exhibition *Là où le jour cède*.
Dany Albiach views art as a relational and existential space, capable of transforming one’s relationship with others, with everyday life, and with memory. A 2024 graduate of Villa Arson, he has developed a practice that focuses on what appears ordinary or insignificant in order to reveal its emotional and sensory depth. His works appear as fragile attempts to preserve intimacy in the face of time, erosion, and disappearance. Drawing on screen printing and drawing, his work is permeated by the experience of insomnia, which imbues his compositions with intense blues and nocturnal depths, evoking silence, dreams, and hazy memories. His artistic influences blend with the landscapes that have shaped his journey, from the shores and hills of Réunion to the maritime horizons of Nice. Through twilight landscapes, plays of light and shadow, and fragments of the body or nature, Dany Albiach creates spaces suspended between fiction and memory. His work invites contemplation and a form of silent introspection, while maintaining a balance between personal experimentation and visual accessibility. By leaving faces indistinct, titles absent, and scenes deliberately fragmentary, he preserves an element of mystery so that each viewer can project their own memories and emotions onto the work. His work thus transforms the intimate into a shared and universal experience. Curator Pauline Vermeren 2025 Recipient of the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation Grant Founded by Majid Boustany in 2014, the Foundation’s various missions include a policy of supporting artistic creation and emerging artists. Since 2017, the Foundation has awarded a grant every two years to a young artist who has graduated from Villa Arson, providing them with the resources to develop and realize their artistic projects while supporting them in professionalizing their artistic practice. To help its young graduates become professional artists, Villa Arson offers the grant recipient a production residency as well as a solo exhibition, organized in conjunction with the graduates’ exhibition.
