The Art at Ryad
The Ryad, charming hotel in Marseille center is not an establishment like the others. Beyond the pampering for its customers, the hotel gives pride to artists, to all artists. Each month, an exhibition is organized to promote talents, usually Marseille, whether painters, draftsmen, engravers, visual artists or even photographers. At Ryad, we love all forms of art, and art makes it good. And it does not stop there. It is not uncommon for the boutique hotel to host storytelling, artistic performances, sometimes completely off-beat, or simply concerts, in the privacy of a haven of peace in the center of Marseille.
Don't hesitate to follow the cultural activity of the Ryad, which makes it a unique hotel in Marseille!

Michel Gentil, recent paintings
"Let's come back to color ... There is an abundance of colors in your canvases, a sort of great symphony.
- This is the impression that emerges from my paintings. It corresponds to what I would like to bring, a vibration, an abstract space that is dear to me and that I try to define by painting. In each new painting I try to find this emotion of a space, of a totality which is perhaps the subject of my painting for me, what you call a symphony.
I am looking for an abstract space (an emotion in the full sense) which is particular to me, but which I have encountered in the great painters and which for me is the very definition of painting. "
(Interview by Micheline Huguelet)
The exhibition will run from April 1 to May 15, 2021
Michèle Rabit, Retrospective
Michèle Rabit's work is in constant evolution and uses many techniques and various materials. They serve her creativity, which is fuelled by her intellectual drive, and which translates into both abstract and figurative forms.
A great traveller, travelling gently, while "I watched, I watched". "I was very sensitive to the lights and glances, to the equilibrium as well as the fractures of all these countries", she confides. Painting became a passion with some particular themes to which her sensitivity attracted her: social narrative, theatre, portraits, trees, water and colours.
"Art is not a mirror that is held up to reality, but a hammer to give it form" - Bertolt Brecht
Exhibition from October 13 to November 15

For this exhibition "All the blues are in Nature", I looked at the sea and particularly at its glitter, this indocile light in perpetual movement that never lets itself be caught. I looked at the foam, the wet beach, the formation of the waves, the density of the water, the immensity of the blue, its dry noises and its silences. And always the sea sparkles, timeless, its blues are eternal.

Alain Boggero, artist-painter
35 years ago, when he was dismissed in 1985 with his 5,999 comrades after the closure of the La Seyne-sur-mer shipyard, Alain Boggero became a painter. He felt the imperative need to represent his comrades in order to pay tribute to them. Alain Boggero's works are also a way to make them take back their tools, to make them speak again; his production has been uninterrupted for all these years, on all the materials he could find, by using regularly renewed techniques. Alain Boggero "shouts" his paintings in the same way as he comments on his experiences with strong words, in an irrepressible flow.
Exhibition from December 5, 2019 to March 15, 2020

Yann Torrecillas, painter
Yann Torrecillas has always been fascinated by the many aesthetic facets offered by the practice of drawing. He conceives his works harmoniously by insisting on both dynamics and substance. His paintings and drawings show the subtle play of feelings thanks to the work on volumes and colors. The human being is a theme that Yann has been exploring for a long time, continually seeking to capture the full range of emotions that can emerge from the careful observation of daily life. He always approaches his subject with instinct and passion, and places emotion at the heart of his practice. In his most recent works, he has reinforced the narrative aspect. He takes advantage of his naive aesthetic, like a puppet theatre, to tell his stories about the world.
The Bottom and The Shape, by Martha Rosenquist and Jean Noël
Marta Rosenquist focused her photography practice on perspectives from former industrial sites. The symmetrical forms of abandoned industrial buildings, both classic and austere, are revitalized through creation.
With Jean Noël, we move from Marta Rosenquist's constructed space, rich in possibilities for creative change, to the evolution from the formless to the form, in a creation ex nihilo in the N dimension, in tension in a space dense gravitational of opposing forces.
The exhibition will run from April 26 to May 22, 2019.
