Armchairs by Monique Anis Glina, Fanny Canto-Pichard, Martine Colliot and Micheline Trelis
"The subject of the "Boucle de la Touques" was immediately obvious, because far from being a "dead arm", this river collects all the natural and recuperated water of the surroundings, recycles it in the ecosystem and gives it back to nature as a source of life. We imagined these armchairs on the bank in front of the playground, and Fanny proposed to represent the river's fauna and flora like a children's book."
Armchair 1: Fanny made a frog taking a shower under a faucet, Monique highlighted a curious coypu, a walker attraction, as well as a coot and water lilies on the back of the armchair.
Armchair 2: Martine chose a duck protecting itself under an umbrella, Micheline represented a carp, undisputed queen of this river, springing out of the reeds, as well as a heron, on the back of the armchair, with its pink boots to avoid getting its feet wet.
During these painting sessions under the sign of humor and good mood, Micheline took to compose some rhymes in homage to this beautiful nature still preserved, and it came out a poem which accompanies this collective work.
Amateur painters, and artists in the soul, we are among the assiduous pupils of Françoise Plékan in Saint-Arnoult, and we answered, to participate in this project. It is thus a collective work that we accomplished together with much pleasure on the two armchairs placed at our disposal.
