About this event in the Jura in Hauts de Bienne
Human frailties as a subject for painting
At Espace Lamartine in Hauts de Bienne, the painting exhibition “The Seven Deadly Sins” takes the weaknesses of the human soul as its theme. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth make up the seven facets of this subject.
Beyond wrongdoing
These sins are not merely failings: they also reflect human excesses, desires and ways of going astray. Often a source of inspiration for painters, they have been depicted as powerful symbols of human nature.
Exploring these themes also means seeking a better understanding of human frailties and the quest for a proper balance. This perspective on the seven deadly sins forms the focus of the exhibition.
The opening reception
The opening reception will take place on 27 November at 6.30pm at Espace Lamartine.
