Workshop - Artistic performance with Nathalie Novi around the Notre-Dame du Haut chapel
Nathalie Novi is a literary painter and graduate of the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In her work, she mixes techniques - pastels, acrylic or oil paints, graphite, coloured pencils - and draws her inspiration from painting as well as literature, film, music and dance. Her work focuses on childhood and family themes, with a particular emphasis on children's literature. She has illustrated around sixty books, all by well-known authors, which have enabled her to take part in numerous festivals and book fairs around the world (Belgium, China, Greece, India, Lebanon, Morocco...).
A fresco inspired by the chapel
This performance-workshop will involve the creation of a collective fresco inspired by the Notre-Dame du Haut chapel, an emblematic masterpiece of the post-war revival of sacred art.
While Nathalie Novi paints on a large kraft canvas (approx. 1.50 m x 1.80 m), the participants create poetic elements evoking the site - surrounding nature, architectural lines, light, sensations. These creations will then be cut out and incorporated into the final work.
Workshop schedule
The workshop consists of several participation sessions (maximum 12 people per session, duration: 45 minutes).
Each participant creates an individual element on half an A4 sheet using coloured felt-tip pens, before cutting it out carefully so that it can be integrated into the fresco.
Outside the sessions, visitors are free to watch the performance and observe how the work develops.
