Contemporary art: what are we talking about?
Contemporary art encompasses all the forms of artistic expression developed from the second half of the 20th century to the present day. It is characterised by a diversity of styles, techniques and media, often breaking with academic traditions. Painting, photography, installations, sculptures, works on paper… contemporary art questions, challenges and sometimes unsettles, but always with the intention of opening our eyes to the times we live in.
It is a living art, rooted in today's concerns: society, identity, the environment, memory, the city… Each artist develops a language of their own, whether narrative or abstract, minimal or exuberant, inviting multiple readings of the world.
Contemporary art in Metz and far beyond
In Metz, as in many French and European cities, contemporary art finds its place in galleries, fairs and studios, and sometimes in public spaces too. The artists exhibited on Galerie125 are part of this movement, with distinctive careers and powerful creations.
Some are already internationally recognised, while others are emerging with a fresh perspective. Among them: Robert Combas, a leading figure of Figuration Libre, and Patrick Moya, whose colourful universe moves between digital art and painting.
Abstraction sits alongside figuration, and urban influences engage in dialogue with the classical heritage. Names such as Franck Innocent, Laurent Jean-Pierre, Maïté Delteil and Claude Venard illustrate this diversity of approaches. Every work tells a story, and every gesture expresses a vision of the world.
