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 form always evokes something in me, but I don't really know what. A flower? A crack? A ribbon? Hide and seek with my senses, there's something of the order of play when everything seems so serious in the end.
But as Pierre Wat says, "Renouncing recognition opens the eye", and to look at a work by Ludovic Philippon is to escape and let your imagination go.
The colors, assumed, are remarkable for their power: orange, yellow, red, blue, green, black and so on. They contribute to the tension and density of the paintings. The artist speaks of "the path of color", as if they were the starting point of his pictorial journey.
Just like the artist,
it's an intimate, solitary painting in front of which we wish to remain alone, in silence.
In the artist's image,
it's a humble, minimalist and touching painting.
