Long day at school today.
A couple pages left to read in Lolita.
This calls for a quick stroll in the gardens of the Château de Versailles before making my way back into Paris centre…
After a quick 5 minute drive from school, I landed upon a cool surprise – Veilhan Versailles. Set against the typical lines and mazes of French landscaped gardens, combined with the epiphany of palatial baroque architecture, Veilhan’s installations add a certain peculiar twist to the royal grounds which is most unsuspecting.
For those of you not familiar with the French modern artist, Xavier Veilhan‘s trait artistique is his generic conversion of complex figures, reducing his subjects into basic geometric forms and leaving interpretation up to the observer.
What is most striking about his style is that even in their essentials forms, his works of art don’t fall short of curious details, which leaves us wondering, “Do we really need realism and actuality to understand a piece of work?”
See for yourselves…
The highlight of my day? Jarrod and Valentina entering the gardens on mini-cooper (totally illegal), and taking me for a ride around Le Domaine de Marie Antoinette
