Lionel Estève, artist in residency, Agricola Due Leoni, 2016.

Lionel Estève, (b. 1967). Born in France, a longtime citizen of Belgium, with origins in Algeria, Lionel Estève visited Agricola Due Leoni in May 2016. He took over the garden house in the secret garden, spanning a green acetate curtain of the kind found in inexpensive textile shops into a gauzy summer soft sculpture that wafted gently in the breeze. On the walls hung three gilded poppy seeds, now in the collection of Marion Franchetti, as well as one painting by Mariella Simoni. Lionel Estève
