Exhibition —La Voix des Fleurs by Lise THEVENOT

Landscape designer and artist, Lise THEVENOT’s work is shaped by a close attention to the relationship between people and nature, to the ways in which they respond to one another, transform each other, and coexist.

Through her paintings, she extends this approach in a poetic and contemplative way, exploring the fragile beauty of natural cycles. Her work also subtly echoes an ancient tradition in which flowers become a form of language. In many cultures, they accompany gestures of care and attention. Their meanings, shifting across periods and perspectives, form a language that is both coded and ambiguous.

This exhibition, La Voix des Fleurs,, is rooted in this sensitive listening to the living world, inviting us to perceive what is expressed in silence. In resonance with kadō (花道), the Japanese floral art also known as the voice of flowers, it proposes an approach in which gesture and attentiveness fully participate in expression.
