Bienvenue au site web (sous construction) de la Galerie du Valier


La galerie, plutôt musée que galerie puisque sans but commercial, a ouvert ses portes en septembre 2022, Elle est gérée par l'Association Arts et Culture Seix' et a été réalisée pour combler un désir de mettre en valeur l'oeuvre du peintre ariégeois, René Gaston-Lagorre en assurant une exposition permanente des ses tableaux et de ses dessins.

René Gaston-Lagorre 1913-2004 - Né à New York dans une famille d'émigrés ariégeois René Gaston-Lagorre est rentré dans le village pyrénéen de Seix à la fin de la première guerre mondiale. Son don pour la peinture l'a amené à intégrer les Beaux-Arts à Toulouse, et, par la suite, de Paris. C'était le début d'une longue et diverse carrière d'artiste qui commence avec des commissions de grandes fresques religieuses et laïques, qui passe par des représentations de paysages, des portraits et personnages ( des bergers en montagne, des gitans, Don Quichotte et bien d'autres), des événements comme le carnaval à Venise et les foires champêtres, et qui s'aboutit dans l'abstraction, avec une myriade de toiles peintes autour de sa prédilection pour la lettre 'Z'. Ces dernières ont été exposées à Paris, à New York et Washington, à Tokyo, à Bologna et ailleurs. Ici vous retrouverez l'incroyable richesse de ce peintre toujours méconnu qui a pris tant de plaisir à jouer avec les couleurs, les teintes et les formes, qui s'est inspiré de Picasso et de Matisse ( ayant rencontré ce dernier qui l'a encouragé dans son art) mais qui, malgré ses maintes voyages à travers l'Europe, en Afrique du Nord et plus loin encore, maintenait un lien très intime avec son pays et ses compatriotes à Seix en Ariège.

La Galerie du Valier est ouverte toute l'année le jeudi et le samedi de 14h30 – 17h30
