Maria Saygua André & Hélène Picard
From May 18th to June 15th, 2025

EXHIBITION CONCEPT

Maria Saygua André’s work combines textiles and sculpture. She constructs her own rituals and encounters ancestral knowledge, questioning hierarchies such as those that oppose craft to ‘high’ culture and North to South.

Hélène Picard’s work unfolds through the mediums of painting and textiles, and more particularly clothing. She explores modes of self-expression and self-representation, from exposure to concealment.

Maria Saygua André & Hélène Picard have common interest in combining textiles with another medium, such as painting or sculpture. They maintain a strong link with clothing, addressing its vernacular references, its cultural heritage, its metamorphic qualities and its relationship to the body and identity.
