Avec PARADES, Hélène Picard s’inspire du carnaval et de la Ball Culture des années 80 aux Etats-Unis, pour évoquer le contraste qui va de l’hyper protection à l’hyper exposition de soi.

Entre exubérance et refuge, elle reprend cette particularité du défilé carnavalesque, où le vêtement, les accessoires, le make-up et les postures représentent des outils à la fois pour se protéger, disparaitre derrière les textiles, les couleurs et les masques, et pour se métamorphoser, s’inventer un nouveau personnage, devenir un autre soi. Celui qu’on veut, à l’excès.

Parures, perruques, paillettes, tous ces éléments semblent alors dotés d’un pouvoir magique, à la manière du grigri, de protection et de transformation. L’habit devient forteresse et étendard.
C’est avec cette charge magique et exagérée, qu’Hélène Picard dresse pour nous avec ses peintures, vêtements, objets textiles et tentures chromatiques un grand barnum, un théâtre de la métamorphose et de la fantaisie, un espace où se renforcer et exulter.

Vernissage le vendredi 6 mars 2026 à 18h
Exposition du 7 au 28 mars 2026, du mardi au vendredi, 10h-18h/ samedi : 9h-13h

Galerie de la Maison de la Culture de Tournai, Avenue des Frères Rimbaut 2, 7500 Tournai.

With PARADES, Hélène Picard takes her inspiration from the carnival and ballroom culture of the 1980s in the United States, to evoke the contrast between hyper-protection and hyper-exposure of the self.
Between exuberance and refuge, she revisits this characteristic of the carnival parade, where clothing, accessories, makeup, and postures serve as tools at the same time for protection, disappearing behind textiles, colors, and masks and for metamorphosis, inventing a new persona, becoming another self. The one we want, to excess.
Adornments, wigs, sequins, all these elements seem endowed with a magical power, like a talisman, offering protection and transformation. Clothing becomes fortress and banner.

It is with this magical and exaggerated energy that Hélène Picard, through her paintings, clothing, textiles, and chromatic dyed fabrics, creates for us a grand spectacle, a theater of metamorphosis and fantasy, a space for empowerment and exultation.
