Stubborn geometry or the temptation to climb the sky

Celebrating the 100th birthday of Neuchâtel painter, Lermite, artist Carmen Perrin has created a wall installation in MBAL’s café. Sharing Lermite’s interest in light, Carmen Perrin offers visitors a truly poetic visual experience through tiny fragments attached to thousands of stretched threads, offering a fresh and contemporary look at the work of Lermite, whose foundation is housed by MBAL.
