The Société Française de l'Aquarelle invites the public to its annual "Lumières d'eau" exhibition, a major event dedicated to the excellence and vitality of contemporary watercolor painting.
This edition will bring together 19 selected member artists, whose singular universes testify to the richness and diversity of this demanding medium:
Alain Berne, Muriel Buthier-Chartrain, Jacques Léon Charrier, Isabelle Corcket, Claude Coustillieres, Eth de Melaou, Serge Di Méo, Danièle Fabre, David Forster, Jean-Paul Jacquez, Martine Jolit, Véronique Legros Sosa, Marie-Christine Mouly, Yannick Ollitrault, Jean-Paul Olivari, Michelle Reynier, Hervé Richard, Franck Rollier and Catherine Roque Benoit.
Through luminous landscapes, intimate scenes, contemporary compositions and more abstract explorations, "Lumières d'eau" celebrates the transparency, fluidity and poetry of watercolor.
Each work reveals an assertive technical mastery and a personal artistic sensibility.
In addition to the exhibition, a series of events and encounters will enable the public to discover the materials, gestures and subtleties that contribute to the excellence of watercolor painting today.
With "Lumières d'eau", the Société Française de l'Aquarelle confirms its essential role in the promotion and influence of this delicate yet powerful art, offering a sensitive immersion in the heart of light and color.
An artistic event not to be missed.

Opening on Friday, March 13 at 6pm.
