Solo exhibition of Alain Huck at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts of Lausanne."

“Organized in close collaboration with Alain Huck, the exhibition offers a survey of nearly thirty years of creative output, from the early works on canvas to the most recent drawings, by way of
the monumental charcoal drawings that established Huck as a major presence.
The exhibition is articulated around the question of text and its relationship to the image, of language and its representation, of what can be said and what is left unspoken, of what is remembered and what makes history. Similarly, just as in the works themselves meanings emerge from the montage between text and image, from the overlaying of distinct images, and from the uncertainty of the image itself, the show is conceived in terms of associations.
Here the artist creates dialogues between works from very different periods and of varying kinds. Works from major series of drawings are displayed alongside others that use a variety of supports, including tarpaulins, jute sacks, plants, and neon lights, forging a nonchronological approach to the artist’s body of work to generate new meaning.”

Solo exhibition of Vincent Fournier at the Fondation Louis Moret in Martigny.

La prière n’étant que l’attention sous sa forme pure (Simone Weil, La Pesanteur et la Grâce)
Prayer being nothing but attention in its pure form (Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace)

The axes of symmetry and the construction lines of an academic drawing mark the beginning of creation. Within this lightly sketched space, the artist's thoughts unfold and his intuition takes shape as it interacts with the receptivity of the paper.

Vincent Fournier's work begins in this way, almost traditionally.

His art is born at the intersection between thought and instinct, between words and flesh: before it can be embodied, it needs to be reflected upon. It is a long process, with a dual temporality. The sagacity of the first gesture is tempered by the meditation of its unfolding. This can last several months, even several years, and sometimes just the blink of an eye. During these moments of grace, close to the completion of the work, the painter's gestures align fluidly and trace stripped-down forms from a burnt corner of paper, the crease of a crumpled sheet, or even a brown stain, stubborn like the trace of an old wound. The finished work breathes and devotes itself once again to contemplation.

Solo exhibition of Leanne Picthall at NEU!, Winterthur.

“A young woman grapples with her companion. They appear related. Her face is painted, the make-up mimicking the pattern of her animal’s fur. Having a dog by one’s side – a companion who expands life. It is a bond without conditions, yet one entangled in a structure of power.

Leanne Picthall works intuitively, yet with a palpable sense of intent. Her painting feels honest, almost eerie in its closeness. You sense something in these images: an intensity hidden in the everyday, the seemingly banal. This ambivalent sensation running through Picthall’s work is a tangle of conflicting emotions – feelings which, when experienced simultaneously, provoke discomfort. An internal conflict.”

We are pleased to present Spring Break, a solo show by Alexandre Bianchini.

Born in 1966 in Geneva, where he lives and works.

 Alexandre Bianchini began his artistic studies in 1983 at the Geneva School of Decorative Arts. He remained there for three years. He continued his training at the Ecole supérieure d'arts visuels de Genève, graduating in 1991.
In 1994, he co-founded Forde, an independent contemporary art space in Geneva. He was involved in its management and artistic programming until 1996.

 Alexandre Bianchini likes to use the adjective “polymorphous” to define his artistic practice. Indeed, he does not confine himself to one artistic medium, be it painting, drawing, collage, photography or video; he uses them in parallel in a search for relevance between content and expression.

 Bianchini's paintings reject the illusionistic space offered by the surface of the canvas, asserting the flatness of their support; the compositions, conceived as close-ups, show only one element at a time, isolated from any context and worked with flat tints of color that confirm the pictorial field as a flat surface.

 Bianchini's language is not linear, and the relationship between the elements that make up his work is always plural. His installations compress many layers of meaning that never fully reveal themselves to the viewer.

 The artist delivers works that retain an element of the elusive and the insoluble. Extremely dense and kaleidoscopic, they multiply viewpoints without reconciling them. By this very fact, the artist shakes the viewer, making him doubt his own perception. In a way, Alexandre Bianchini's work reminds us of the relativity of every point of view and the narrowness of every belief.
