An immersive exhibition preview in the heart of Brocéliande

This spring, let yourself be carried away by a singular artistic universe in Paimpont, right in the heart of Brocéliande. The “À l’Encre des Légendes” exhibition by Denez Prigent will be open free of charge until 30 June 2026, in two emblematic locations. Already a hit with over 10,000 visitors since it opened in December, this exhibition invites you to enjoy a sensitive and contemplative experience, combining the imaginary with Breton traditions.

A poetic journey through drawings and legends

Known for his haunting voice, Denez Prigent reveals here a more intimate facet of his work: drawing.

Drawn in black and white with a biro, his works are born of a spontaneous gesture, with no colour added to preserve the creative impetus. Spheres, crosses, moons, stars and repeated motifs make up a dreamlike, hypnotic universe. Each drawing seems to emerge from the artist’s subconscious, inviting us to plunge deep inside, where Brittany is revealed in a whole new light.

Two venues, two complementary experiences

The exhibition unfolds in two stages to enhance your discovery:

    • From 2 April, a more immersive scenography will be on show at Paimpont Abbey, offering a new encounter with the artist’s world.

These two stages form a complementary journey, designed to deepen the bond between the artist and the public.

Drawing as a means of escape...

Denez Prigent, an artist between tradition and creation

A key figure on the Breton and international scene, Denez Prigent is renowned for his interpretations of traditional songs in the Breton language, the gwerz. Heir to a culture passed down from childhood, he draws on ancient legends and stories as a profound source of inspiration.

Drawing has become a refuge for him, a space for intimate expression. Through his work, he now shares a more personal part of his universe, imbued with spirituality, memory and emotion.

An invitation to discover

Open to all, free of charge and open throughout the spring, the “À l’Encre des Légendes” exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover another face of Denez Prigent and to immerse yourself in a timeless artistic universe.

Whether you’re an art lover, curious or a lover of Brittany and its legends, this exhibition promises a poetic interlude in the heart of Brocéliande.
