Who Are We?
Here at Jardin au Ermine, our aim is to immerse our collective members in the world of fine art, with a heart of passion, community togetherness and drive.
We are a group of eight students scattered across several creative subjects - Fine Art, Photography and Graphic Design. We each share strong ambitions to make waves in the industry, thus we recently came together to create the idea of an entirely independent art collective, both built and ran by us - Jardin au Ermine.
Current Exhibition Title:
‘The Seasonal Lag’
‘Always becoming, never arriving. Life is at a standstill - only ideas flash past…’
-Derek Jarman, Modern Nature.
Here at Jardin au Ermine, 'The Seasonal Lag' is the title of our debut exhibition. We have been delving into the themes of seasons, solstices, of change, dissociations and dreams in the shades of Pierre Bonnard.
This year, the summer solstice will fall on the 21st of June- the longest window of light in the year, the longest period of day. Back in December, the winter solstice was marked on the 21st- that long winter hibernation wrapping up the world in night. However, these days are not the respective hottest and coldest days of the year, as one might expect- it's not until weeks later that we are plunged into extraordinary frost or singed under the sun. This period itself is The Seasonal Lag.
