Exhibition at Villa Magdala - Painting at the end of the Earth

Like a haiku, Michaël Weston's artistic gesture reveals the poetic essence of a landscape, a tornado, a pensive face, a lone flower, abandoned fish, a window on the horizon again and again. The tones are muted, dark, sometimes enhanced by a discreet splash of color. A moment's pause, a moment's silence, a floating, vaporous suspense is delivered on random, fragile supports.

A painter like his father Reginald, in whose studio he grew up. It's impossible not to paint," he used to say, "but especially not like him! Michaël Weston's work on display here will invite some of Reginald's works to take center stage.

Michaël's style was elegant at all times, and he walked a tightrope of uncertainty. He worked with this touch of existence through doubt, giving his paintings a suspended vibration that echoes the pulsations of our lives. He had settled down to paint in Finistère, at the end of the earth.
