In 2019, Françoise Besson opens a second space in the 1st district of Lyon, "La Petite Galerie" in addition to her main gallery 10 rue de Crimée.

A real laboratory, this space aims to present exhibitions of emerging artists, whose very diverse practices, such as photography or design, have seduced the team. This space proposes exhibitions of artists not represented by the gallery, sometimes in exit of school, attaches to the presentation of multiples but also drawings and painting, tries innovative configurations in the monstration of works... A means for the gallery to refine its artistic line and to experiment freely while propelling new talents.

Living Mémories

La Petite Galerie

"Mémoires vives" is Marie-Agnès Gachet Mauroz's first solo show at the small Françoise Besson gallery. It will feature some thirty works, following on from those shown in the exhibition l'Oeil et le Coeur, from the collection of Françoise Besson.

The works are created with a bias towards relief, wax composition and the fusion of materials, resulting in a pictorial expression in which the treatment of matter alone is the subject. Fragments of memory, mutated into projections on canvas and paper, create a universe where emotions become colors.
