NATHANËLLE HERBELIN | SIMON MARTIN | Painter’s Day | Musée d’Orsay

Hors les murs 19 September 2024 - 19 September 2024

Address : Musée d'Orsay Esplanade Valéry Giscard d'Estaing 75007 Paris

We are delighted to announce the participation of Nathanaëlle Herbelin and Simon Martin in the group exhibition Painter’s Day, 80 contemporary painters from the French scene meet visitors on Thursday September 19 from 2pm to 9:30pm in the Nave of the Musée d’Orsay, at the invitation of artist Thomas Lévy-Lasne.

Following the exhibitions of Peter Doig and Nathanaëlle Herbelin, the Musée d’Orsay continues to explore its relationship with contemporary painting, inviting you to meet 80 painters from the current French art scene. Over the course of an afternoon and evening, you will have a unique opportunity to speak freely with living artists, to discover their work and their view of the museum’s collections.

Orchestrated by the artist Thomas Lévy-Lasne, the event will bring together eighty contemporary painters, each of them waiting alongside one of their works in the Museum’s galleries. This one-day gathering, a performance on an unprecedented scale, will bear witness to the vitality of the French art scene, which is still too little known by the general public. This outstanding presentation will shine a light on several generations of artists, the gradual feminization of the profession, and the wide stylistic variety of approach. Each artist will take up a chosen position in the Nave next to their painting, in gaps in the installation echoing the Musée d’Orsay’s collections, an indisputable reference and inexhaustible source of inspiration for them. A rare, unforgettable experience! As well as being treated to an unprecedented panorama of today’s pictorial creation, visitors will have the opportunity to exchange with the painters on their work, careers and intentions.
