Frederic CLOT Marie FRECHETTE Andrea GABUTTI Ladina GAUDENZ

Urban landscapes, mysterious forests, strange vegetation. Painting, drawing, and photography based on poetic and imaginary interpretations of living beings.

Frédéric Clot shows that the visible world is both a source of pleasure and a source of threat. His painting recalls the gentle fear we feel when looking at monsters in children's picture books, gentle because they are books, because they are children, and because the adults who live in the “real” world are there to remind us that they are only books and illustrations. But we are not children, there are no parents to reassure us, disturbing images surround us. The big bad wolf is not a legend. The proof? Frédéric Clot painted it. L. Wolf

With Marie Fréchette, birds present themselves to us in choreographed scenes, hymns to the new life that accompanies migration, flying over the most promising, purest air corridors, stripped of all expectation...
…They have come a long way. From the depths of the soul. From a place where the heart no longer has to wait for renewal. These birds represent rebirth, an inner migration that beats to the rhythm of life, love, and creation. They have had to endure loss, death, disappearance, and continents…
...Drawings, photographs, lead cutouts. Installations that bear witness to the passing days, the hours that will never return, the breaths that join the air of our planet. Air is the essential medium for flying and creating sound. These divine singers that are birds have air and light as their score, the present moment that sparkles in the moment.

Andrea Gabutti's work is now evolving towards a poetic dimension where the importance of memory remains, but its function is transformed. The sometimes strange nature of the representations, combining imagination and dreams, takes the viewer into a dreamlike world. References to the world of wonder subtly reveal the artist's existential concerns. Time sometimes seems suspended, fixing the impermanence of things. Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, the works invite contemplation. I. F. Bleeker

With virtuosity, Ladina Gaudenz reduces her palette to a single color, white, to give shape to the elements. White to partially cover the linen surface. White to breathe life into the peaks of the Engadine or the fruit trees. In other words, white to signify the impermanence of the world. It is a way of symbolizing the vital energy of nature, where everything is in constant motion, transformation, and renewal, like the eminently ephemeral aspects of the seasons: snow and blossoms. K. Tissot
