The Light Always Returns

For several years, Mégane Likin has approached landscape through small-scale formats, moving away from the idea of place to draw closer to a sensation — a light, a moment already in the process of dissolving.

Her painting attends to what eludes us. Images emerge without ever fully settling; they shift and transform, leaving behind unstable, almost altered forms. The landscape becomes an inner space, shaped by duration, where a quiet melancholy surfaces.

With The Light Always Returns, clouds appear and dissolve. Their instability extends this investigation, holding forms in a transitional state, at the threshold between appearance and disappearance.

And yet, something remains.

The title suggests what, despite loss, returns in another form. Not an intact image, but a fragile, transformed presence. The paintings thus open onto suspended moments, difficult to locate, where what is seen already seems to be receding.
