Maria Adjovi, David Mbuyi — Les images ne dorment jamais / Imago numquam dormit
The article
The listings website Slash Paris announces Les images ne dorment jamais / Imago numquam dormit, an exhibition of Maria Adjovi and David Mbuyi at Galerie Nathan Chiche in Vantoux, scheduled from 14 June to 13 September 2025. The entry emphasises that this dialogue between two painters takes place in a former school by Jean Prouvé, a place of transmission.
It contrasts the gaze of David Mbuyi, attentive to movement and colour and likened to that of a child who discovers rather than judges, with the almost ritual slowness of Maria Adjovi, whose painting, spiritual without being dogmatic, draws on a silent iconography.
