If you are in the Geneva (Switzerland) area, I invite you to come and see my husband’s exhibition. This is the 10th straight year he has had an exhibition at La Cave. Opening night is 19th October from 5 p.m. Other details are on the invitation.

I’ve a few of his paintings for the exhibition, and they are beautiful. Quite a few of his earlier works are centered around Varigotti, the site of my book Il Molo.

Si vous êtes dans la région de Genève (Suisse), je vous invite à venir voir l’exposition de peinture de mon mari. C’est la dixième année consécutive qu’il a eu une exposition à La Cave. La soirée d’ouverture aura lieu le 19 octobre à partir de 17h00. D’autres détails sont sur l’invitation.

J’ai quelques-unes de ses peintures pour l’exposition, et elles sont belles. Un certain nombre de ses travaux antérieurs sont centrés autour de Varigotti, le site de la version française d’Il Molo.

“Loggia cosmica” by Pierre Montant

Pierre Montant - 2001

“Loggia cosmica” by Pierre Montant 2001, Oil on canvas, 130 x 162 cm, Private collection.

Thanks to my artist husband (Pierre Montant) and the painting’s new owner Il Molo found it’s cover. When I came up with the book’s title I immediately thought of this mysterious oil-on-canvas work that Pierre had completed in 2001. It depicts the pier known as il molo which extends out from the beach in Varigotti, Italy, and, in this particular scene, the damage that can be done by the sea at it’s angriest.

The painting captured the exact atmosphere that I was looking for.  Pierre said he would be honored to have Il Molo adopt Loggia cosmica as it’s cover. By the time I published the book in 2014 the painting had been purchased, and the new owner graciously agreed to let me use it as the cover.

If this painting excites you, you can see more of Pierre’s works on www.pierremontant.com and on YouTube.
