Art Noon: Geneviève Levivier - White Sun, Black Sun
Between light and darkness, between elevation and fall, "White Sun, Black Sun" offers a contemporary journey through inner landscapes, freely inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy.
In this exhibition, multidisciplinary artist Geneviève Levivier revisits the three symbolic realms of the work: Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, in a sensitive exploration of the human condition. The Black Sun embodies the depths of the soul, loss of bearings, violence, and solitude of contemporary hells. Conversely, the White Sun evokes awakening, transcendence, and spiritual ecstasy — a blinding, almost immaterial light. Midway, Purgatory emerges as a space of transition, of slow metamorphosis, of tension between fall and ascent — a fragile, powerfully evocative middle ground.
Between these poles, the artist maps fragmented pathways, where the sacred and profane, visible and invisible, human and nature confront each other. The works, through their interplay of materials, textures, and multiple techniques, actively contribute to this symbolic narration. "White Sun, Black Sun" is not a linear narration but the cartography of a quest for meaning. An invitation to traverse zones of ambiguity, tension, and beauty, where art creates a profound resonant space between material and spirit.
