Villeneuve-sur-Lot. A brand new cultural place in «Beyrines»

SLM, article La Dépêche du 10/11/2019

They are three women, artists each in their own field, to have first built and are now bringing to life ACREA (Atelier Cours Réunion Exposition Animation), a welcoming place where you feel tolerance, respect, friendship, sharing, tenderness, a taste for beautiful people and their creations and cultural ambition for the world.
In this old house renovated with style and good talent, we find a group of diverse people who do not pretend to "remake the world" with words but simply to think about a daily life of sharing, equality and enriching each other's differences. No "blabla" but facts! There are art courses (painting and others) led by the painter and sculptor SLM. We also discover an art gallery open to local and internationally renowned creators chosen by a demanding and knowledgeable selection committee.

Currently and until the end of year celebrations, you can discover works by Lot-et-Garonnaise SLM, who lives on site since she is one of the three pillars of the place. Her exhibition is astonishing, very personal and worth a closer look; even more if you spend time grasping each line, each touch in an artistic way that reflects the artist so well ... an injured woman, a courageous lady with the depth of soul that allows her to overcome the dark sides of her life that has not spared her. Painting and stone sculpture are the means to express her inspirations which help her go beyond herself and rebuild far from the chaos encountered.

From our local correspondent Marie-Paule Rabez.



SLM- Exposition Salle l'ACREA de Beyrine, Villeneuve sur Lot, à partir du 1er September 2019

SLM has contributed to numerous exhibitions since 2001: Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Île de Ré, Auch, Toulon, Dinslaken (in Germany)…

She shares her artistic work between painting and stone sculpture, drawing and painting, the sobriety of colors as well as their exuberance.

Her interests show in her paintings: imaginary landscapes, architecture, geometry, mathematics, music, writing, social facts.

Salle l’Acrea at Beyrines is a new exhibition space, located a few kilometers from the center of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Completely renovated, bright and warm, equipped with picture rails and beautiful lighting, this place now houses SLM paintings.

The diversity of the themes approached by the artist and their many variations offer much to see and invite the visitors to pursue ideas and prolong dreams.

A warm welcome!
