COYA Beach St. Tropez, Now Open
The exhibition poses a visual and conceptual dialogue between the pictorial universe and the anthropological and cultural spirit that characterises COYA's space. The assembled works belong to three distinct series: Suite Assise, Anthropology and First Impressions, each exploring from different angles the connections with the ancestral, ritual introspection and the collective memory that crosses cultures and geographies.
In Suite Assise, solitary figures suspended in vibrant fields of colour evoke deep recollection. These paused bodies suggest an intimate ritual that connects to ancestral gestures of contemplation.
The Anthropology series engages directly with cultural elements, reflecting on the human figure as a symbol of identity and resonating with ethnographic echoes that persist in the contemporary gaze.
Finally, First Impressions offers a more intimate and material vision of the creative process. These pieces, somewhere between visual archaeology and artistic essay, explore the trace, the trace and the emotional and physical memory.
‘Flesh and bones’ alludes to the tangible and real, but also reveals the vulnerable and spiritual. With explicit references to the body, ritual and matter, the collection invites us to discover an aesthetic experience where the contemporary and the ancestral meet.
