With her forest and mineral landscapes composed from cardboard, Éva Jospin, with the kind authorization of her gallery Suzanne Tarasiève, immerses visitors to the Museum of Hunting and Nature in the fantastic world of XNUMXth century baroque gardens.
In the middle of the city, in Paris, in the Marais, the artist resurrects nature and creates a magical world, drawing inspiration from Italian baroque gardens, the caves of romantic gardens or the rock gardens of landscaped gardens.

The main work, which gives its name to the exhibition, is a space to cross: “Galleria” (gallery in French). It is a large cardboard arch, on a human scale, made up of thousands of barely visible details.
This cut-out section of forest characterizes the artist's unique style. It is a gallery that is both plant-based and architectural, made of plinths and niches in the style of an Italian studiolo (the ancestor of the cabinet of curiosities), but where you can stand.
Other works – “Genatophe”, “Foret”, “Capriccio” – are displayed in the different rooms of the museum in dialogue with nature and the animal world as well as with the work of Aurore d'Estaing and Faustine Cornette de Saint-Cyr and Guillaume Krattinger, respectively photographer, illustrator and sculptor.
Éva Jospin ventures into other techniques, such as embroidery with a panoramic work, “The Silk Room”, and into bronze sculpture, always inspired by gardens and the plant world.

A former student of the Beaux-arts de Paris trained at the classical school, the artist draws her inspiration from her forest walks, her bucolic daydreams and her imaginary worlds. And it takes us far.

The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
