VERA PAGAVA, NIGHT LIGHTS 

A solo exhibition of Vera Pagava at the Musée de Gajac in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, structured around the theme of “Night.”

For Vera Pagava, the night is a space traversed by light, by vastness, and by silence. It becomes a threshold, a passage between the visible and the invisible. The exhibition Night Lights offers a sensitive journey through five decades of creation – from the 1930s to the 1980s – bringing together still lifes, landscapes, religious and mythological scenes, urban views, and abstract compositions, including a series of “Nights” presented here for the first time. Gathering nearly fifty works, paintings and watercolors from both public and private collections, the Musée de Gajac invites visitors to a poetic exploration of nocturnal territories by an artist who made light her inner language.

This exhibition pays tribute to Vera Pagava, a discreet yet exacting figure, whose work – still too little known – pursued an unceasing quest for the invisible.

The exhibition and catalogue were produced in collaboration with, and with the support of, the Vera Pagava Cultural Association – AC/VP.
