The region of Brittany, the city of Rennes and the department of Ille-et-Vilaine are located in the west of France and gather more than 600 artists on Artmajeur. Here is a non-exhaustive overview of the Bretillian creation.

Let's start the journey south from Rennes to Pancé with the artist 4in and a portrait of a very expressive young woman, Red hands (600 €).

Further west, Montfort-sur-Meu is the home of a versatile artist. Sculptor, painter, engraver, illustrator, figuration predominates in his work with a research around the identity and the spirit which animates the body, with a reference to the Arts Premiers.

In Goven, the artist Jacques Barbier, influenced by the digital world, creates abstract or figurative works composed of macro pixels made of various materials (cardboard, wood, fabric, canvas, plaster, concrete, advertising posters, computer keyboard keys ...). Works from 60 to 2700 €.

Located at the eastern limit of Brittany in the town of vitré, the artist Marie ALLO creates sculptures. Her works suggest possible combinations between different materials. They emerge and materialize in space in a discreet way but tend to spread. In her work process, Marie ALLO alternates writing, sculpture, photography, and drawing.

The Icelandic-born artist Klara Gunnlaugsdottir, working in Saint-Méen-le-Grand, offers abstract paintings that harmoniously mix colors, textures, effects, and reliefs. Count 850 € for a large square format of 90x90 cm (Blue Charm #2003). 2003-sj-original-xl.jpg


A Pop touch with the artist Morgan Paslier de Vignoc. He is interested in the material, the textures, and their details. For his works made in digital montages, he first goes in search of this material that he will photograph. He is particularly interested in zinc panels that have just been cleaned by the town services and on which only a few shreds of glued paper remain. It is these details that he will first photograph, then digitize in order to be able to make digital montages by superimposing pieces of images. This first montage constitutes the background of the work on which will be superimposed, in the manner of a stencil, the portrait of a character or icon as in the work UDA 2 Madonna (€400)Finally, a note of humour with the work of the Rennes-based artist-photographer Romain Berger. His characters from popular culture, although living in a colorful and festive universe, often find themselves in realistic and destabilizing situations.
