A graduate of the Paris-Tolbiac School of Architecture and the prestigious Ecole Boulle, Gilles Nesa has always worked as an architect and lecturer in Paris and the South of France. From May 23rd to 26th, he will hold his first one-man show entitled "Indicible" at the Galerie JoHa in Nice. Rather like a portal, it consists of works transporting you to a world in code. Spirituality, the meaning of life, cries, tears or sneers about the human condition are projected right before your eyes without your being able to see them. Having fun by deleting words to portray matter and light more effectively, artist Gilles Nesa uses Braille and unparalleled precision to take you to his fascinating world where interactions with his architectural work lead to an unprecedented path in the art world. Du 23 au 26 mai Nice. Galerie JoHa. 10, rue Delille. Renseignements au (06 62 36 28 86)
