Baignade, 2023

Exclusive to Belart Gallery.

This artwork is part of a rare and exceptional collaboration between Adey and Mesnager, two artists whose creative worlds meet in a unique and powerful visual dialogue. It is the very last artwork remaining from this collaboration, offering collectors a final opportunity to acquire a truly exclusive creation.

This artwork transports viewers into a mystical, shadow-drenched jungle scene, where the interplay of light and shadow creates a captivating atmosphere. Dominated by intricate, detailed foliage, the trees stretch upwards, their branches intertwining to form a dense canopy overhead. The play of shadows and light suggests a hidden world, full of mystery and anticipation. Emerging from the core of this lush wilderness is a luminous, radiating figure—a glowing vessel hovering just above the river’s surface—casting a soft reflection. The ethereal light illuminates the surrounding foliage, revealing hidden details and textures. This striking contrast between dark and light, natural and otherworldly, challenges perceptions and draws the viewer into a dreamlike exploration of this surreal environment. The artist’s use of monochromatic tones further accentuates the depth and complexity of this enigmatic jungle, inviting deep reflection and curiosity.
