For his exhibition at the Maeght Foundation , Bernard Moninot has opted for an enlarged drawing concept . More than just a concept , this is actually a way of appropriating graphic design to develop , build and demostrate some of his surprising installations . Games of light , shadows , sound waves ... This demanding , unadorned , minimalist universe is not easy to enter . In his own way , Bernard Moninot is sculpting space and drawing silence . Alongside works specially designed for the vast museum spaces , the Maeght Foundation is featuring seven major installations .

In his artistic agenda Bernard Moninot is highlighting three concepts : chance , the unconscious and intuition . In his studio , looking more like a research laboratory , the artist is busy observing and dissecting the elements of the outside world . He pursues a crazy dream of drawing the invisible , the caress of the wind or the weight of silence . This is an endless quest , in the likelihood of the Holy Grail ...
These shades and lines are full of an undeniable poetry . Mystery truly hovers here . Such a complex work is not easy to endorse . Our eye is jostled , but then seduced by the delicacy of its lines . This spring , the Saint-Paul foundation is inviting us on a real experimental journey . A labyrinth of thought , reminiscent of Mirò , winding through the museum ’ s gardens .
