2026 Art exhibition
A distinctive visual language
Ben Arpea's work is defined by a visual language that blends geometric abstraction with semi-figurative forms, through vibrant colour fields and richly textured compositions. Inspired by the Mediterranean, architecture, landscapes, and fleeting moments of daily life, his works offer a vision of landscape and still life that feels both contemporary and dreamlike. Through his sensitive use of colour and material, the artist belongs to a new generation exploring the dialogue between art, design, and the French art de vivre.
An exhibition born from the spirit of the place
For this exhibition, Ben Arpea drew inspiration from the spirit of Château Saint-Martin & Spa, reinterpreting the property through his own artistic vocabulary. The recurring motif of the arch, emblematic both of the artist's work and of the property's architecture, frames the eye and invites a contemplative journey through each scene. A tennis match beneath the Provençal sun, the stillness of the swimming pool, a lunch table set against the surrounding landscape, a series of serene and luminous artworks offering a renewed way of experiencing the property.
