In France, Jorma Puranen takes part in Claude Monet, les jardins en heritage exhibition, commemorating the centennary of Claude Monet’s death in 1926. The exhibition offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the legacy of Monet, placing his work in dialogue with artists from around the world, spanning from Japan to North Africa and from Europe to North America.
The Giverny garden, once the home of Monet and an inspiration of his many paintings, is in itself like a painting made of living materials, a work in perpetual flux. By immersing themselves in this landscape, contemporary photographers and artists rediscovered the key themes and characteristics of Monet’s art: a passion for reality combined with poetic sensibility.
The exhibition takes place at Les Franciscaines, Deauville, until 1 November 2026.
