In recent months, Claire Trotignon's practice has entered a phase of metamorphosis. While fragments of old engravings still form the basis of her collages, her compositions now have an unparalleled breadth and scale thanks to the collision of heterogeneous elements. The traditional perspectival point of view gives way to new space-time. The backgrounds, previously white and neutral, are enriched with bright colours, including a luminous blue. Within these flat areas, levitating architectural fragments, inspired by the classical order of ancient architecture, float freely in the void, defusing the idea of a romantic landscape. Through their positions in the composition, guided by a geometric intuition, these fragments and debris reaffirm a mineral materiality and an equilibrium in the making. The change of focus is reaffirmed. There is a new energy and dynamic in these works, which evoke the idea of ruin as much as the possibility of reconstruction. Imagined as addresses to the complex reality of our time, these collages reaffirm a polarity between two simultaneous types of space, at once complementary and opposed. Always carried along by a musical rhythm, these new works present themselves as possibilities for rethinking the poetics of space once championed by Gaston Bachelard. This exhibition is a precursor to the monographic retrospective of the artist's work to be organised by the Frac Picardie in 2026.

Born in 1985, Claire Trotignon lives and works in Paris and Tours. Her work has been shown in France and abroad (Venice Architecture Biennale, FIAC, Fondation Louis Vuitton, Untitled Miami), and has been the subject of several solo exhibitions in French institutions (Le SHED-CAC, FRAC IDF, Centre Pompidou Metz). His work has been included in public collections (Collection d'art Société Générale, BNF, FMAC, New York Public Library) and numerous private collections.
