BOTANICAL IMMERSION: Romain Thiery takes over the Appart Renoma! MAURICE RENOMA X ROMAIN THIERY
The Appart Renoma, a New Cultural Venue
In a Haussmann-style apartment at 129bis, rue de la Pompe, the Appart Renoma, located above the Maison’s historic boutique, is a new venue for artistic stimulation spanning 220 m2.
Dedicated to artistic encounters, this intimate venue aims to welcome art in all its forms with an energetic and offbeat program. L’Appart opened its doors in 2020 on Cristobal’s distorted, absurd, and comical vision, with the exhibition Mythologies of the Goldfish.
Mythologies of the Goldfish, a satirical and committed photography exhibition
A tireless traveler, Maurice Renoma crisscrossed the world for 2 years accompanied by his goldfish Cristobal. He photographed his encounters over the course of his journeys. Cristobal the fish is at the center of Maurice’s encounters, immortalized in a series of humorous, sensual, tender, and striking photographs. A wordless witness but not a mute one, Cristobal denounces the omnipresence of plastic in our societies and wishes to question younger generations about its use.
Romain Thiery, the Photographer Passionate About Urban Exploration
Romain is a 33-year-old photographer who travels the globe in search of abandoned places to capture. And as if the notes of a stray piano guided him through these places, this instrument very often becomes the focal point of his works. His work is an invitation to travel and to appreciate the timeless beauty of abandoned buildings.
MAURICE RENOMA X ROMAIN THIERY
On his travels, Maurice Renoma met Cristobal, a fish who made him aware of ecological excesses. Romain Thiery, for his part, discovered an almost timeless world where these excesses no longer hold sway but where nature rules. The resonance between the two artists' work lies here: Maurice Renoma illustrates man’s impact on nature, whereas Romain Thiery highlights nature that has reclaimed its rights over man.
