May 6th, 2025 Day-1 Grand Opening La Bulle, Dive shop Angers

Pascal Lecocq underwater art exhibition Angers 2025 La Bulle

🎉 Grand Opening at La Bulle – Angers

n May 6th, 2025, I had the pleasure of opening my solo exhibition at La Bulle, the iconic dive shop in Angers, France. This marks my first show in Angers, and the beginning of a new chapter in my underwater art journey.

🎨 Underwater Art in a Dive Shop

La Bulle offers a unique setting — where diving gear meets dreamlike canvases. My paintings, inspired by surreal underwater landscapes, now share space with regulators, wetsuits, and fins. A poetic contrast that invites viewers to dive into imagination.

🧜‍♂️ Works Exhibited

The show features a selection of my most emblematic pieces, including The Corrida, The Blue Cathedral, and The Diver’s Dream. Each canvas explores the tension between beauty and fragility beneath the surface.

🤝 Community & Atmosphere

The opening was attended by local divers, art lovers, and longtime supporters. Conversations flowed around ocean conservation, artistic process, and the emotional power of underwater imagery.
