From Persephone to Flora

Exhibition

April 13th - May 7th 2023

Héléne Galante and Anne Mourier

Corte Dell’ Arte, Venice, Italy

From Persephone to Flora explores the ideas of the renewal of seasons and life cycles in relation to the Feminine archetype. In a world mostly dominated by patriarchal values and in denial of death and ageing, it is important to remember that Spring always returns and that we are irremediably linked to the cycles of the universe. The boat of Chiron which brings living souls to the underworld is shown here travelling in the opposite direction. Alongside this, portraits of a young woman grieving encourage us to be hopeful for a new form of communion.
