The Rocque Paper Co., 6th June
The preview evening of Time through Radiant Lines, Cristabelle Jégard’s latest exhibition, opened the summer season at The Rocque Paper Co. in Gorey with gentle energy and warm conversation. Hosted in Kat’s working studio – tucked behind the paper maker’s charming storefront – guests sipped drinks, caught up with friends, and took in Cristabelle’s newest body of work. The six small paintings mark a shift in style for the artist, who moves away from bold, expressive strokes towards a more grounded realism, with soft pastel blocks and scenes drawn from recent months spent between France and Jersey. The works retain her signature sensitivity to light and movement, but with a quieter, more contemplative tone. The Rocque Paper Co. – known for its hand-crafted paper made from recycled local materials, and its curated selection of gifts by island makers – proved the perfect setting for this thoughtful, summery show. A gentle welcome to a season of art and slower looking.
