While out walking, I found some treasure: hundreds of rolls of wire in a vineyard!!! The wine grower was going to throw them out… Ever since, I have been rescuing wire from vineyards to give it a second life.

As you wend your way down the aisles at VINISUD you will be able to peruse my vineyard wire sculptures: Local insects such as large ants or praying mantises, as well as “hooped” sculptures.

Having won the International Prize for Vine and Wine Photography (BIPVV 2011), once more Alain Reynaud takes us into the world of "Vineyard Monsters" with a new series of monochrome characters whose faces are drawn on our oldest vines.

Always drawn on art paper, these limited editions are true works of art intended for collectors.

Rémy: www.ca-bouchonne-a-paris-et-ca-debouchonne-chez-nous.com

As a wine lover endowed with a great sense of humour, Rémy Bousquet is known for his original and amusing wine-themed drawings: "It’s a bottle-neck in Paris and we’re pulling out the cork".

The “Pays d’Oc, the meeting of contemporary art and wine” project was born from observation of the clear analogies between wine and painting, the history of art and Pays d’Oc’s viticultural evolution.

The artist Patrice Palacio immersed himself in the world and aromas of Pays d’Oc IGP wines to create his 12 paintings. The natural materials covered in resin (red berries, white flowers, liquorice, citrus fruits, spices, etc.) link the series together.
