An Immersive Experience at Les Ateliers de la Morinerie
In Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, the vast creative hub of Les Ateliers de la Morinerie recently came alive with a rare artistic encounter. Just days before its open studios, wildlife sculptor Pierre-Jean Chabert and visual artist Sarah Scouarnec welcomed a select group of guests to explore their new workspace.
Spanning 340 m² of studio space, over one hundred works engaged in a vibrant dialogue: majestic bronze sculptures, expressive terracotta pieces, colorful oil paintings, and mythological figures—all infused with the vital breath of life.
A striking bestiary
Rhinos, gorillas, lions, and mandrills seemed ready to leap from the material. Pierre-Jean Chabert doesn’t merely depict animals—he reveals their soul. In every gaze and muscle tension, one feels untamed vitality, brought to life by the expert casting of Rosini and Gaillard foundries.
Dialogues between worlds
The event also showcased Thibault Jandot, a painter with roots in graffiti whose vibrant animal portraits radiate electric energy, and Sarah Scouarnec, whose mythological, nature-inspired sculptures evoke an ancient, dreamlike femininity. Together, the trio created a harmonious experience blending animal, human, and myth.
An artistic manifesto
More than an exhibition, the evening was a manifesto—a statement of contemporary art that is grounded, sensitive, and profoundly human. It was a moment when art reclaimed its essential role: forging connections, enriched by heartfelt exchanges and the raw emotion of the works.
