Richard Treger and Antonio Saint Silvestre, the two creators of this collection (comprising 1,500 works, after all!), have been travelling the world since 1980, driven by an unwavering passion for art brut. Their quest has led them to assemble one of Europe's most impressive collections. The L'Esprit Singulier exhibition is a celebration of this passion, offering visitors a remarkable selection of works by 86 artists. These creators, most of them self-taught, have pushed back the boundaries of traditional art, imposing their own unique standards and perspectives.

These artists have chosen less beaten paths, far from the spotlight of the traditional art world. Their work reflects a deep, personal engagement with art, often born of their singular life paths. Their works are distinguished by their use of unconventional materials and techniques, illustrating a boundless freedom of expression and inventiveness. Theexhibition offers a fascinating plunge into the world of singular art, where the conventional gives way to the authentic and original.

In short, an invitation to explore the furthest reaches of human creativity! And an opportunity to enjoy a truly singular artistic experience in the heart of Paris.
