A fourfold encounter for those who believe reality has more than one face
A winter evening at Château de Roche. Marc de Bernardis exhibits throughout the house – his work will remain on view until Tétramorphe II in May. Alban Darche and Myriam Rignol meet once in the mirror room – saxophone and viola da gamba. The rest is wine, food, and attention.
By invitation.
ART
MARC DE BERNARDIS is a Swiss painter whose work continually explores portraiture, the body – sublime or absurd – the gaps between being and appearing, the tree as a marker of time, nature as breath and as refuge. His techniques are classical: graphite, charcoal, oil paint, gouache. Cairns, trees, forests call for the pencil – a swift gesture to transcribe what presents itself. Oil and gouache create atmospheres, murky worlds that convey the difficulty of being in the world. Trained at ECAL Lausanne, he has exhibited widely in Switzerland. At Tétramorphe I, his work will be present throughout the château.
MUSIC
ALBAN DARCHE, saxophonist, composer and arranger, creates original and free-spirited works, with some thirty albums to his credit. He is Artistic Director of the Yolkrecords label – winner of a Django d'Or award and named Label of the Year by Les Victoires du Jazz – his work moves freely between jazz, chamber music, contemporary music, opera and theatre. He leads several ensembles that bring together some of the most talented artists on the international scene.MYRIAM RIGNOL is a viola da gamba player, one of the most talented and adventurous of her generation. Trained in Lyon, she now teaches there, as well as in New York, Taiwan and Japan. Passionate about teaching as much as artistic adventures, her career has been marked by several international competition prizes around the world, as well as the creation of the ensemble Les Timbres. In 2023, she was named Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
A cultural programme rooted in the tradition of the Greek symposium – residential gatherings where ideas, gastronomy, wine, and artistic creation come together. Four events per year, four faces of human experience, in the intimate setting of the château.
