Color, Surface and Light
Our inaugural exhibition Color, Surface and Light features a dialogue between paintings and design objects, with works by ceramist Olivia Cognet adding a touch of contemporary design to the mix.
The artists on show invite visitors to explore the individual and the collective. Jean-Paul Agosti, Rashid Al Khalifa, Olivia Cognet, Soo Kyoung Lee, Kahina Loumi, Alice Magne and Guillaume Moschini question what links different practices and what transcends individual subjectivity to reach a collective memory. Their research focuses on light, color and texture. Visitors are invited to explore what emerges from a work, what the artist chooses to reveal, hide or transform:
Jean-Paul Agosti: Between light and poetry, his works reflect a meditative approach to nature.
Rashid Al Khalifa: Bahraini artist renowned for his compositions that play on the effects of light and silence.
Olivia Cognet: Designer and ceramist, her creations combine craftsmanship and sculptural aesthetics.
Soo Kyoung Lee: Korean painter, she explores abstraction through a play of shapes and colors.
Kahina Loumi: Her work is rooted in the materiality and memory of landscapes.
Alice Magne: Her works reflect an introspection into the intimacy and authenticity of memories.
Guillaume Moschini: His minimalist approach to painting transforms color into experience.
