The exhibition Matrix, Mater, Materia – The Substance, presented throughout the month of July 2025, with a highlight on the 11th and 12th at the S/Beaubourg gallery, concludes the trilogy of programming initiated in mid-March by Art Engagement Consulting, which has taken over the general management of the space. Conceived as a structuring milestone before the fall season, this event brings together three major international artists — Antoni Taulé, Bedri Baykam, and Philippe Scrive — in a scenography designed by Art Mouvance, and connects three distinct aesthetic movements: metaphysical realism, neo-impressionism, and abstract sculpture.

Taulé presents landscapes where a clear, structuring horizon line divides the pictorial space into dual realities, oscillating between visible and invisible, presence and absence. Baykam, working in a neo-expressionist vein, revisits archetypes of the female figure through a critical reinterpretation and dense chromatic layering. Scrive explores matter in its energetic and vibratory dimension through abstract forms with evocative power.

The exhibition follows a performative curatorial approach, prioritizing the viewer’s immediate experience and the continuity of the journey, rather than a thematic or chronological arrangement. The title — Matrix, Mater, Materia — refers to the three foundational dimensions of the creative act: the matrix as an original blueprint, the mother as a generative principle, and matter as an operative substrate, asserting that every work arises from the same substance, both formal and ontological.

This project marks the culmination of an original curatorial cycle and anticipates the critical and artistic directions that Art Engagement Consulting and Art Mouvance – Société pour l’art will pursue in fall 2025.
