TOYEN GALLERY

The gallery, designed in a plan libra, situated in the quiet environment of the South of France, is dedicated to the Czech-French painter Toyen, one of the representatives of European surrealism. The building has three floors connected by single-arm staircases. On the first floor and second floor there are exhibition spaces, which are primarily intended for surrealist works and creations from the period of occupation. Therefore, the exhibition area is minimally lit by sash windows and supplemented with artificial lighting. On the third floor there is a well-lit cafe with a view of the countryside. The interior spaces of the café and gallery on the second floor are surrounded by glass surfaces. The entire gallery is designed in a contrast of light and dark, full and empty.
