DESCRIPTION:From 6 to 21 November 2026, the Maison Culturelle de Quaregnon will
celebrate Polish illustrator Joanna Concejo as part of the third edition of
Les Rendez-Vous, an event dedicated to the visual arts. Organised in
collaboration with the Polish Institute in Brussels, the event invites
audiences to discover a distinctive artistic universe where drawing meets
literature, memory and imagination.
 
Joanna Concejo: A Poetic and Sensitive Universe
A Polish artist based in France, Joanna Concejo is a leading figure in
contemporary illustration. Internationally recognised for her illustrated
books, she has developed an instantly recognisable visual language
characterised by delicate drawings, intricate details and atmospheres
filled with poetry and melancholy. Through her illustrations, she explores
emotions, memories, human relationships and our connection with nature. Her
works, published in numerous countries, invite readers to look beyond words
and discover the stories hidden within images.
Exhibition | Le vieux qui lisait des romans d’amour
Inspired by the acclaimed novel by Luis Sepúlveda, the exhibition presents
Joanna Concejo's original illustrations for The Old Man Who Read Love
Stories (Le vieux qui lisait des romans d’amour). Through her drawings,
the Amazon rainforest comes to life, accompanying the story of Antonio
José Bolívar, a passionate reader confronted with human violence and the
overwhelming power of nature. With her sensitive and poetic interpretation
of this literary work, Joanna Concejo offers a visual reflection on the
relationship between humanity and the natural world, solitude, beauty and
the fragility of nature.Opening: Friday 6 November at 7 pm, in the presence
of the artist.
