The artist Zhu Hong takes over the window of the Parvis, a space open to the city, proposing a mise en abîme of inside and outside, blurring the lines between sculpture and building, and associating inside and outside.

This game of reversal continues in the Salle Blanche, which for three months will host a selection of drawings and sculptures, most of them created for the exhibition.

Trained at the École nationale supérieure d'art de Dijon, Zhu Hong (born 1975 in Shanghai, lives and works in Nantes) explores the representation of water through drawing and painting.

She is interested in its colors and effects, which she transcribes through a multitude of pencil and brush strokes.
For the Musée d'arts, the artist combines this exploration with a rereading of the museum space, appropriating architectural elements typical of 19th-century buildings.
