Overview
Forming part of Le Château’s summer season dedicated to dreams, Les cieux marks Sabine Moritz’s first solo exhibition in a French institution.
Les cieux brings together a selection of paintings and works on paper spanning over thirty years of creation. Inviting visitors to navigate freely through key moments in her practice, the exhibition highlights the recurring themes and concerns that shape Moritz’s work: memory, the passage of time, a deep sensitivity to colour and gesture, a continuous dialogue with the history of painting and a meditation on what it means to paint in a world saturated with images.

Conceived as an archipelago, the exhibition is anchored by the painting Heaven (2015). The canvas adopts the viewpoint of a person lying in the grass, looking up at the sky. Through a delicate web of foliage, visual bearings begin to waver: forms dissolve and the surface comes alive. Hovering between figuration and abstraction, Heaven embodies a shifting pictorial space – one that oscillates between sensation and memory, the intimate and the infinite.
