Jean Couty at Antiquaille

Jean Couty marked the 20th century by challenging the codes of Lyonnaise painting. His canvases, rich in thick, vibrant matter, captured the essence of the Saône Riverbanks and the soul of the historic districts with remarkable force. At the Antiquaille – Cultural Space for Christianity, a selection of his major works reveals a near-passionate observation of light and reflections on the water. Far from classical representations, the artist transforms the city's architecture into poetic compositions, oscillating between tradition and modernity. This retrospective offers a sincere look at a creator who preferred the authenticity of dramatic skies to simple figuration. It’s an opportunity to see Lyon through the eye of a master of color, from October 19, 2025 to April 30, 2026.
