Artist Geneviève de Villartay is currently showcasing her latest collection of oil paintings at La Chope, a local bar and pub in Morlaix, with the exhibition running through August 17, 2025. The display features her nature-inspired canvases that draw their inspiration from her walks through the forest.
The exhibition, which opened recently, invites the public to discover de Villartay's oil paintings that capture the essence of woodland scenes she encounters during her forest strolls. Her artistic philosophy is reflected in the exhibition's title, "There must always be a little light somewhere," which speaks to her approach of finding illumination and hope even in the darkest of natural settings.
De Villartay's recent works, currently on display at the popular Morlaix establishment, demonstrate her deep connection with nature and her ability to translate the tranquil beauty of forest environments onto canvas. The artist has chosen an unconventional venue for her exhibition, opting for the intimate setting of La Chope bar pub rather than a traditional gallery space, which allows for a more casual and accessible viewing experience for art enthusiasts and casual observers alike.
The oil painting technique employed by de Villartay enables her to capture the rich textures and varied lighting conditions she observes during her woodland explorations. Her canvases reflect the interplay of light and shadow that characterizes forest environments, bringing the peaceful atmosphere of nature indoors for visitors to experience.
The exhibition will remain accessible to the public until August 17, 2025, providing art lovers and curious visitors with the opportunity to experience de Villartay's forest-inspired works in the unique setting of this Morlaix bar and pub. The artist can often be found among her displayed paintings, offering viewers the chance to engage directly with the creator and learn more about her artistic process and inspiration drawn from nature.
