When color sets sail... Artist Jeanne Marcel brings her landscapes, florals, and seaside vignettes to the Galerie du Vert Galant, located at 52 Quai des Orfèvres on Île de la Cité in Paris, for a weeklong immersion into a world shaped by travel and reading, from 23 to 30 October 2026. Titled Jeanne’s Paintings, this exhibition gathers 25 paintings and 70 watercolors. The selection highlights multiple facets of her practice, oscillating between floral motifs and luminous horizons.
Originally from the Drôme region and Corsica, the artist has been painting for nearly thirty years. Her discoveries, as well as her sensitivity to the world around her, feed her practice. She works mainly in oil, acrylic, and watercolor, switching between techniques to vary the moods. Light and color sit at the heart of her approach, with a pursuit of gentleness she aims to convey through her compositions.
Landscapes and flowers form the two main strands of this Paris exhibition. Beach scenes extend the focus on luminous spaces. With the 70 watercolors announced to accompany the canvases, the display also invites visitors to compare techniques, notably the transparency of watercolor, which offers a distinct approach to color and its subtleties.
Before this stop in the capital, Jeanne Marcel’s works have been showcased in several venues and events across the Drôme region, including the Collegiate Church of Saint-Donat, the Château Révol in Saint-Uze, and the Salle des Clercs in Valence. In Paris, the visit can spill outside, along the Île du Quai des Orfèvres: after painted horizons, it’s all about the Seine’s reflections and October light.
