John Howe exhibition - In the wake of Arthurian legends:
Internationally renowned artist, John Howe has profoundly marked the contemporary imagination by giving J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels a pictorial extension that has become a major reference. The artist has also brought to life the main tales and legends of the medieval imagination, for numerous literary editions.
In the heart of the ruins of the chapel, a selection of works are reproduced on large tarpaulins. Knights, dragons and other fantastic creators, Merlin and the castle of Camelot, take possession and decorate the premises. Visible from outside the chapel.
Exhibition organized as part of the "Fantastic journeys through the art of John Howe" program.
For more than 4 months, discover the art of John Howe through a unique journey imagined on the territory. Internationally renowned artist, John Howe has notably helped shape the aesthetics of the film trilogies The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, directed by Peter Jackson, bringing to life J. R. R. Tolkien’s universe. Nearly 150 works, spread over four locations - La Baule, Guérande, Herbignac, Batz-sur-Mer - immerse you in a unique journey between legends, fantasy worlds and medieval imagination.
