"Dominant in man's natural environment since the dawn of time, abandoned over the centuries by artists and considered unlucky by some, the color green has become the fashionable color of the modern age. The disappearance of nature in our urbanized societies, ecological concerns and the desire for sport and hygiene have made green omnipresent in our environment. Political parties, companies, food packaging, city cleaning vehicles, everything is becoming green...
Without concern for hierarchy, genre, generation or medium, the exhibition brings together some fifty works whose only common denominator is that the color green is the dominant one.
For many, green is the color of youth, happiness and hope. Excellent reasons for choosing this color as the theme of our exhibition."
