The exhibition “Garonne” by the artist Louis Durran can be seen in Sant Joan de Arties until 18 November 2018.
The numerous travels of this painter attached to his piece of land at the foot of the Pyrenees in the region of Comminges, have inspired his paintings and also the desire to tell stories with his camera.
In the exhibition “Garonne”, Durran proposes oil paintings, acrylic paintings and mixed media with collages of photos taken with a camera obscura. The author remembers the games and discoveries of his childhood when he was going to swim and discover spaces that seemed wild in the area of the source of the river Garonne in the Val d’Aran and also in the mines of Liat in the Val de Toran. The exhibition, organised by the Val d’Aran Museums network, can be seen in Sant Joan d’Arties from Monday to Saturday from 17:00 to 20:00 h.
