Ben Arpéa: De Mémoire is the first solo exhibition by French artist Ben Arpéa at 193 Gallery in Paris. A multidisciplinary artist, Ben Arpéa develops a practice that spans painting, sculpture, design, and architecture, but is above all centered around memory and perception. Each artwork, somewhere between landscape and still life, becomes a visual trace of lived moments—a fragment of memory materialized into an image. His canvases, structured by horizontal and vertical lines and inhabited by recurring suns, radiate a Mediterranean light that is both hypnotic and soothing. They create environments suspended between dream and reality, where time seems to overlap. Materials and textures—acrylic, oil, sand—enhance this sensitive and almost metaphysical dimension, where the image of memory is in constant transformation.
