Hugo Béhérégaray

Residency July 2019 - January 2020 "De Hut" is a small, makeshift house born from childhood games, a thwarted calling for architecture, and an openly embraced inclination for painting, which he practices daily as a physical and spiritual exercise.

As the first recipient of the creation, research, and experimentation grant from the Abbey of Maubuisson, a contemporary art site in Val d'Oise, Hugo Béhérégaray reconciles chance and necessity in an "organic work that, for the duration of a summer, situates art."

A pretext for long discussions and lively conversations, the Maubuisson hut fosters the blossoming of the imagination and its immediate translation into a tangible application. Master of a transient work and creation, Hugo Béhérégaray assimilates this intentional process of sedimentation to that of creation itself, destined to evolve until its scheduled dismantling in early October – unless a collector, drawn by this accomplished example of both raw and learned art, steps forward to acquire it.
