Three local artists are exhibiting throughout the coming week in the beautifully
restored chateau at Bouc Bel Air. People thronged the vernissage last evening to see their work.
Fi Katzler produces local landscapes, painted energetically, with bold strokes and vibrant colour.
American O’Neill Cushman has been in Aix for several years and favours a more subdued palette to produced nuanced landscapes and still lifes.
Pretty little pots on sale for a good cause
Local Kelly Raynaud is a talented ceramicist and it was a good opportunity to admire her work….but also to buy some for a very good cause. ‘La Ribambelle’ cares for children from Madagascar who need to come to La Timone hospital in Marseille for cardiac surgery as there are no facilities for this on their island. The group find volunteer families to house the children before and after surgery, and at the moment, there are five families in Bouc Bel Air registered to do this. (www.laribambelle.fr). The pots, hand-made by Kelly, are just 15 or 20€ each and were flying off the shelves last night. The seller assured me that they were restocking….
