From October 9 to November 11, 2026
At Lascaux IV, Patrick Lainville brings the forge into dialogue with humanity’s earliest gestures. Born from the strike of the hammer on iron, his sculptures echo the prehistoric hand axe and reinvent this raw gesture in a contemporary language. Two families of forms, slender or stocky, recall the encounter between Sapiens and Neanderthals.
