Chagall 2024 exhibition

From October 12, the Musée National Marc Chagall is transformed into a sensory playground thanks to Jérémy Griffaud and his immersive exhibition "Sous le Ciel".
Imagined in resonance with the master's masterpieces, this multimedia installation propels us into a whirlwind of colors, shapes and symbols, where the digital and the traditional meet to create a new reality.
A plunge between dream and reality

The artist, Jérémy Griffaud

But who is Jérémy Griffaud?
This young artist, born in 1991 and trained at Monaco's Pavillon Bosio, is no stranger to the contemporary art world.
With his digitized, animated watercolors, he overturns the boundaries of painting to take the viewer far beyond the frame, into a universe where we willingly lose ourselves.
And with "Sous le Ciel", he invites us on a dreamlike journey, echoing Chagall's themes of paradise, dreams and hospitality.

Panoramic mapping

A panoramic mapping that will blow your mind! Hold on tight!
The installation unfolds on the walls of the museum, making us lose our footing in a ballet of moving forms.
Inspired by four of Chagall's landmark works - " Le Paradis", "Adam et Ève chassés du Paradis", "Le Songe de Jacob" and "Abraham et les trois anges" - Griffaud weaves a world where Edenic gardens rub shoulders with floating cities, where hybrid creatures move in an eternal cycle.
What if paradise really did exist? With this exhibition, you just might believe it!

Exhibition 2024/2025

300 3D drawings!

300 drawings to create a world... in 3D!
To build this fascinating universe, Jérémy Griffaud first drew nearly 300 watercolor pictures.
Each stroke, each nuance is digitized, modeled and projected, to create a three-dimensional universe with multiple levels of reality.
The effect is astonishing: you find yourself touching the walls, trying to catch the silhouettes that seem to move before your eyes.
Alongside these creations, preparatory sketches by Chagall are on display, a reminder that the Vitebsk master never stopped reinventing the language of painting.

An experience to be lived and felt
With "Sous le Ciel", Jérémy Griffaud doesn't just pay homage to Chagall: he turns it into a playground for our senses, where each visitor becomes an actor.
The visual installation, conceived as a continuous loop, takes us from one world to another, in a perpetual movement that, like Chagall's works, contains all time: past, present and future.
