Jade Marra, the painter, has returned from an artistic residency she conducted in the south of France. This period offered her a valuable opportunity to deepen her research and explore new facets of her art.
Through this immersion, she was able to nourish her creativity and develop new techniques. She created works on both canvas and paper, with each medium providing her with a unique source of inspiration.
The landscapes and atmosphere of the south of France particularly influenced her creations, leading to a series of unique and original pieces imbued with this Mediterranean ambiance.
From May 18th to May 26th
The exhibition "Remembering Beautiful Things" with artists Juliette Lemontey and Laura Pasquino will take place at Château de Houtain-le-Val in Belgium.
The duo exhibition takes visitors on a poetic journey between Juliette's artworks and Laura's ceramics. It unfolds within the enchanting setting of a historic castle dating back to the 12th century. This place has witnessed the ups and downs of history, from the passions of the Duke of Brabant to the resilience of the women who have left their mark there.
Juliette Lemontey, a French painter, is known for her ability to capture life, the grace of movements, and the silences of faces. Her work on memory and identity resonates deeply with the history of Château de Houtain-Le-Val. This exhibition also marks her debut at the Grège Gallery in Belgium.
On the other hand, Laura Pasquino, a ceramist based in Amsterdam, explores life's contrasts, between softness and harshness. Through her ceramics, she plays with textures, raw strength, and the organic shapes of nature. The cracks and tears on her pieces become visual metaphors for human scars and wounds.

Ethan Caflisch
Before painting, photography and design, Ethan Caflisch worked with clay. His beginnings as a ceramist gave him a taste for the simple, the sincere and the voluminous. Born in Wisconsin like Frank Lloyd Wright, the builder and poet he idolizes, Caflisch handcrafts direct objects, a kind of organic architecture in keeping with the flat landscapes of his childhood. Each piece is parsimonious, citing the previous one and adding the bare essentials. Scraps of patched fabric, gouaches or acrylics... The whole forms a logical sequence based on canvas, wooden frames and chatty titles. Separate rooms, the meeting point between floor and wall, a film clip, their country of origin, anonymous crowds in the underground, windows and tables are all subjects treated in primary or rustic colours. Threshold spaces and raw materials are the constants in this domestic practice, tuned like a sewing machine.
Yosigo
In Dubai, Benidorm or Copenhagen, José Javier Serrano, alias Yosigo, captures buildings, beaches and people.
buildings, beaches and people. The light decides almost everything: volumes and colours obey it, never more hollow or wild than when it caresses them. The ex-graphic artist and Stephen Shore fanatic follows his progress from morning to night to build new topographies, precise details of man-altered landscapes, of places without quality whose beauty is astonishing. Yosigo collects them, using cast shadows, balconies and umbrellas to create an ordinary archive of pure lines, warm tones and sharp frames. There is nothing critical about this inventory, and even when he looks at architecture and beaches that have fallen victim to mass tourism, his gaze remains neutral. All that counts is the harmony of the whole: symmetry and perspective work to maintain calm.
In these uneventful series, windows and bathers are merely forms whose balance sublimates nature and the built environment.
