David Storey - Château de Bénat

David Storey Exhibits at Château de Bénat

From July 11 to July 24, 2026, Château de Bénat welcomes British painter David Storey for an exhibition this summer. For two weeks, the artist will set up in this exceptional setting to display his works, confronting his sensitivity to the intense light and landscapes of the Var coast.

A painter of memory and suspended time, David Storey composes canvases imbued with a gentle melancholy and changing light, where figures fade at the edge of memory. His work, built in successive layers and crafted directly into the material, finds a natural resonance in coastal landscapes: the sea, the sky, the low light of evening have always nourished a body of work situated between presence and disappearance.

This residency is part of the Uningo Foundation's commitment to artistic creation and support for contemporary artists.
