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.

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.

The works by Claire de Chavagnac Brugnon are the marks of the memories, the result of numerous travels around the world, in China, India, Stockholm, Spain, Australia... and "always elsewhere, to trace each time differently, at another temperature, with the tones of a new atmosphere, the resonance of the places she has crossed ".
Claire travels around the planet, armed with a travel diary and poses there as random preparatory works, paths without result following a linear mesh.
The juxtaposition of simple, repetitive signs, like the rhythm of passing time.
The colors, the materials and the gestures like the remains of the atmosphere of the destination.
Claire does not know in advance what it will do for her, much like a writer would take notes for a future manuscript, or a musician who would annotate his score.
Then she organizes later, on her return, the work on canvas. It is a mental wandering and the work weaves slowly but calmly and silently; from the sketchbook to the final performance. Each travel diary is the memory support of the artist for the realization of a canvas.
Always composed with a cyclic rhythm resulting from this repetition and distribution of traits, more or less mastered, more or less fine, more or less intertwined, with pigments, binders, acrylics and skin glues to give life to what the artist calls the "texture of time".
