Art: Marine de Soos at Hotel des Marronniers

Last week was hectic at Hotel des Marronniers! We can even extend the idea to the 10 or 12 last days. Indeed, on June 7th, we welcomed, as planned, the art work of Marine de Soos “Le Jeune Flûtiste” in the garden of the hotel. It could be seen from the veranda, like a musician passing through Saint-Germain-des-Prés, or sitting outside. This angle gave him a magical appearance. This small figure, a slight shadow under the chestnut trees, aroused as much curiosity as intimacy. Like a humility to respect.
 
 

The beautiful surprise was the loan of two smaller art works, still by Marine de Soos, installed, meanwhile, in the reception area of Hotel des Marronniers. One of them was a woman with a child. The curves of the mother and the proximity of the two faces invited to reflection. A delicious tenderness and sweetness were emanating from these two characters. The mirror behind the sculpture reflected this union so well orchestrated. The second work faced the first, a man standing up, his hand  towards the forehead, “Waiting.” Here again a subtle realism that challenges. The book by Marine de Soos, on the table, unveiled to the visitors the universe of the artist. What fine words to read the book!
 
 

The opening of the Parcours Saint-Germain took place on June 8th. On this occasion many lovers of the Parcours, art or Saint-Germain came to discover works and Hôtel des Marronniers. A good time to share and exchange around a drink in the garden of the hotel.
 
The following 10 days, visitors pushed the doors of our establishment in search of the work of Marine de Soos. And for all our team, it was a great pleasure to see those works everyday. This morning, art works left Hotel of the Marronniers but the meeting was beautiful and the memories divine. The Parcours Saint-Germain 2017 ended, an we look forward to the next one !!
