« La grandeur du modeste » Serge Labégorre passe l’été avec Jean-Pierre Ruel
Paintings
Jean-Pierre Ruel paints the modest habitats of the countryside, the mountains and the beings who stay there or brush against them, with infinite love, an extreme quality that is at the same time trembling and alive. A great painter, with solid, warm, reassuring work, like a good corduroy garment, a fine wine... A solid and sumptuous work, grand, at the service of all that is modest. And which has its grandeur.

"Serge Labégorre takes a lucid look at his contemporaries, whose painting serves as an uncompromising mirror of a paroxysmal vision. This unique approach has an epic dimension."
Lydia Harambourg. Critique d’art. La Gazette Drouot, septembre 2015.
« Témoins et sentinelles »,David Daoud et Valérie Fanchini
Paintings and sculptures
French-Lebanese painter David Daoud continues to question our lives, the world he inhabits. In the latest monograph dedicated to him, Ibrahim Maalouf writes: " He doesn't just paint faces, bodies and landscapes; he sculpts emotions, identities, collective stories that resonate with our own humanity.… ».
As for Valérie Fanchini, sculptor, she declares: " Working with various materials such as earth, plaster, bronze or steel first, glass has grabbed me since 2004 and I have not let go. » …/… « Glass is captivating for a sculptor because it allows you to work on the interior of the volume by making light play an even more fundamental role. It is an ambivalent medium, a liquid/solid, a present/absent, a fragile/solid, an interior/exterior. » A first in Seignosse for these two young and beautiful artists, eagerly awaited.

The work of Serge Labégorre masterfully contradicts the thesis of an agony in the history of Western art. Indeed, the radical upheaval of Picasso, Céline or Joyce, the telluric brutality of Pollock, the near muteness of Beckett or Rothko, the impulsive universe of Simenon, seem to prefigure the advent of an irremediable nihilism. But there is Labégorre, a painter inspired by souls in pain, but not dead, that the usual qualifier - expressionist - defines very imperfectly."
Denis Tillinac, April 2014. Extract from “Now, there is Labégorre”, preface to the book “Origines”, published for the inauguration of the Labégorre Fund in Seignosse, in November 2014.
Lumières, Serge Labégorre avec Lucie Geffrey
Paintings
Lucie Geffrey, a young painter from Aquitaine, is almost a regular at the Fonds Labégorre. Her depiction of great truth, of great affection for what lives, fights, moves, and dies, is always a pleasure for the eyes as well as for the heart. Exhibition pending validation at the time of writing
« Dans un monde de mystères » par Serge Labegorre et Frédérico Alagna
Paintings
DATE A DÉFINIR EN 2026
Frédérico Alagna, a multifaceted artist and an insatiable man—at once painter, sculptor, and also a musician of great talent, like the entire Alagna family—returns to Seignosse after a first experience alongside Delphine Lahens and Jean-Marie Salanié, for a one-on-one encounter with Serge. We will be able to admire his work on faces, sculpted in different materials, filled with gravity, wavering between pain and prayer. A descent into the self, or a supplication.
