For the second journey, Pierre Soulages guides us through his Outrenoir. He introduces us to the "black-light" for which he is famous. Colors, shadows and light play around us in this VR experience, where artistic expression can be read in the paint, the depth of a brushstroke.

These two painters are important figures in abstract art: a genre often less loved and understood than Impressionism or Naturalism. With these immersive artistic experiences, Hangar Y wants to play with our senses and emotions to bring these works of art to life, and bring us closer to these two essential painters.

Two not-to-be-missed trips for art lovers and curious new technology enthusiasts.
