This is a polar story that Yves Fagniart and Olivier Larrey invite us to share in an original and unique exhibition. From the Icelandic lands to the Svalbard Archipelago, a water-colour artist and wildlife photographer have joined their arts and passion for the wildlife of the big North. Yves designed and painted the landscapes and animals with the colors of summer. As for Olivier, he photographed them in black and white against a backdrop of winter atmospheres. From their most beautiful encounters with animals during fifteen or so trips to the Arctic, they extracted the most intimate moments. Through these two distinct but complementary portraits of a little known universe, it is all the poetry of the tundra that they offer us to contemplate.
