Jade Marra
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.
BEYOND THE WALLS
"Remembering Beautiful Things"
- Juliette Lemontey and Laura Pasquino
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.

Delphine de Luppé
On old papers covered with words and images from the past, Delphine de Luppé draws new signs, using pencil, acrylic, or oil stick. As if endlessly rereading history. Books, treatises, postcards, travel guides, heliogravures... The sources vary. Almost all of them exalt the structures of past centuries, those ruins and monuments that inspire respect. This penchant for borrowing, for working from models, perhaps inherited from the sketchbooks she used to fill with copies from the Louvre, allows her to approach what precedes us and will undoubtedly outlive us. Among the handful of motifs in her repertoire, the arch reigns supreme. Both hollow and peak, it supports and connects, bridging the world of yesterday and her vision of things. Because here, to take up again means to continue, and even when the original background is submerged under a network of lines resembling graffiti, it does not disappear. Elsewhere, the game turns into trompe-l'oeil, or even exquisite corpse: trained in ephemeral architecture, Delphine de Luppé plays with perspective, decorative elements, grafting a chandelier, a capital, a pair of curtains here and there, building plans, carefully staging her scenes. By constantly going back in time, the archive becomes current. The finished impression returns to the sketch stage, and vice versa: with naive strokes, the richness of pastel writes the next events.

Tanguy Tolila
Tracing paper, military maps, sheet music, book covers, sewing patterns, shipwreck wood... Of all materials, Tanguy Tolila prefers those marked by their previous life. Sometimes a century old, their mature skin forms folds and wrinkles that the artist cherishes. Because they serve as a framework, a guide. Each layer of glaze plays the game, revealing the signs of age in full transparency. After the glaze comes the line, a true signature. More or less thick, straight or curved, it stretches or breaks, crosses another, takes a turn, a pause, leaving the heart at peace. Tanguy Tolila values this inner silence, sensitive to Mies Van der Rohe's Bauhaus style, an enemy of excess. Graphic, almost geometric, the whole is "pure and hard," a kind of architecture built around elementary forms, never "soft" and always "in tension," with muted tones that "grate." Occasionally, touches of yellow, orange, green, or purple brighten the gray of his grids, like confetti scattered on a sidewalk or marble fragments. This is perhaps the only whimsy in his understated art, full of delicacy towards second-hand objects, the cherished supports of his paintings. Such as those worn basketballs, cracked fossils, or stains reminiscent of Claude Viallat's ectoplasms. These "planets," along with his "scales," are among the only known motifs in his simple system, where nothing else floats except rocks on the horizon.
