Paris offers a selection of exhibitions perfect for getting into the 2024 Olympic spirit. Paris’s art institutions are prepared to welcome an army of visitors who come from different countries of the world. Many will look at not only the athletes, stadiums and lawns that will punctuate the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games, but also the beautiful collections of art at the museums and galleries. One of this place is just at the heart of historical Paris and its unprecedented artistic experience which took place at ‘La Baptisse’ – 48 rue de Lille, Paris 7 – on the theme of the hymn to offer visitors from all over the world a physical, existential and spiritual rejuvenation at the heart of Paris. Here, Art questions humanity gathered at the heart of the 2024 Olympic Games, briefs renowned artist Larissa NOURY from Paris.

During the ongoing Olympic Games 2024, a unique artistic experience took place at “La Baptisse”, Paris from July 27 until August 10, 2024. Larissa NOURY’s artwork was selected to participate in the unique art project as a part of the cultural program of Olympic Games in Paris 2024.

”I am very happy to be selected in the Olympic Games as an artist and colorist, exhibiting at the Pavé d’Orsay, opposite to the Louvre and close by the Musée d’Orsay as part of the project “Hymnal”: when art questions humanity gathered at the heart of the 2024 Olympic Games.

We say that color has sense only when it is placed within a context. The sense for me is the result of this ingenious marriage between the material and the spiritual. The constant renewal of a rich palette in the radiant colors is rare in our world where visual clichés and standard images dominate,” explains the artist on her tactile paintings filled with vivid colors, among which the rhythm and the textures could remind us of nature, sky, elements and more.

“The spiritual dimension, a very beautiful journey between Monet and the Kimono… At the limits of vertigo, this dive to the bottom of the water, behind the clouds, which is not perceived at once, right away, is a magnificent support for meditation, stopping, a precious moment of this crazy time.. Strength, elegance and finesse emanate from a harmony and symphony of colors remarkably mastered by the artist.

Pure creative process – geometric shapes, inspired by architecture now give way to a sidereal aspect, staggering beauty… Larissa will always surprise us, and always more,” Pierre COLBOC, Architect of the Orsay Museum, Paris remarked on Larissa’s magnificent display of colors long before this event.

“I love the different textures and the colors, they look bold and sensitive, it is very expressive and it makes me definitely welcome in it because of this expression. It is very beautiful with vivid colors, it makes me enjoy and think of the sky or maybe of the galaxy, a very bright galaxy and creation of the world.”

Curator Johanna Rylle

“An ephemeral café in the chapel and its annexes, dedicated to rest and conversation, where the synergy between art and conviviality takes on its full meaning.

This cultural project is run in conjunction with the Agapé Hub, part of whose exhibition will be held in their space at 50 rue Meslay, Paris 3e. Taking care of culture, so that creation lives on,” said Johanna Rylle, a curator of the exhibition.
