An Immersive Installation by Masha Schmidt & Anna Sokolova

Artists present a collaborative installation and exhibition, each examining landscape through distinct yet complementary perspectives. Through transparencies and layered compositions, they construct a shared visual terrain that invites viewers into a deeply sensory experience. Anna Sokolova distills landscape to its essential forms and gestures, while Masha Schmidt contemplates the ever-shifting sky.

Their artistic convergence creates a singular journey — at once vibrant and introspective — through the medium of paint. This joint endeavor offers a fresh contemplation of landscape, where individual vision merges into thoughtful exchange.

Just outside Paris, the quiet village of Auvers-sur-Oise has long been a refuge for artists seeking light, beauty, and inspiration. In the 19th century, it became a creative haven for masters like Cézanne, Corot, Daubigny, Pissarro, and, of course, Vincent van Gogh, who spent his final days painting its fields and skies.

Daubigny's home, now a charming museum, still tells the story of this vibrant artistic era—with rooms frozen in time and walls covered in works by Daubigny, his friends, and even Honoré Daumier.

The magic of Auvers didn’t fade with time. In the 20th century, artists like Henri Rousseau, Otto Freundlich, and COBRA’s Corneille followed in their footsteps. Corneille, like Van Gogh, found his final resting place here, just steps away from the painter who made this village immortal.

Wander along the river path toward Pontoise, and you'll see the same landscapes that once moved the brush of Pissarro—unchanged, timeless, still whispering to those who listen.
