Deuxième Corps
The exhibition "Deuxième Corps" at Stems Gallery features works by Marguerite Piard. Piard, born in 1996, works with non-traditional pictorial mediums such as oval pebbles and irregular wooden boards. These materials are used to embrace and amplify the symbolic, precious, and vulnerable dimensions of the female body, which is the artist's primary thematic focus.
The exhibition incorporates a Mediterranean palette, blending pagan and classical iconographies. A recurring motif is the shell-sex, alongside water, presented as a magical vehicle for introspection. The exhibition runs from October 19 to November 12, 2026.
