Château Roquefort
This summer, bronze sculptures by Sabine de Courtilles take up residence in the grounds of Château Roquefort. This artistic season is a first for the Entre-deux-Mers estate. As if on cue, the Bellanger family fell under the spell of the artist’s “Nature Beings”, ribbed sculptures embodying the beauty and fragility of nature and mankind.
This exhibition of works by Sabine de Courtilles enriches the historical tour of the estate, creating a genuine dialogue between the site’s history, nature and contemporary art.
Sabine de Courtilles has been a sculptor for over thirty years. Her inspiration comes from the Limousin forest next to her studio. She collects what has fallen to the ground, what is almost dead, broken, torn away.
Wood, branches, stems, buds, bark… Everything is gathered in her workshop to be processed, purified, assembled and transformed into sculpture. The result is then cast in bronze. The “Nature Beings” series, born from the imprint of these wood veins, is his artistic signature.
Stripped of the superfluities of appearance, the sculpted power embodies the mysterious energies of existence. A multi-faceted work where the density of bronze embraces the trace of origins, where the relief is chiseled with the folds of life.
His works open up the history of Roquefort to you: L’Appel de la forêt welcomes you to the Orangerie, Avril walks with you to the winery, La grande Sylva leads you under the hundred-year-old trees…
Free admission, exhibition from July 3 to September 14, 2025
