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.
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.

Wood, a timeless plant material, bears the scars of time. Cut and burned by Alban Lanore.
Represented and assembled by Charlotte Bovy.
Alban Lanore works with wood using direct cutting tools. The artist first goes in search of scraps or wood at the end of its life.
Most of his sculptures are totemic and thus keep the verticality
of the tree.
His gesture respects its trunk and its pace, we follow the cracks, the knots, then, we stop on the reliefs carved then sometimes burned by the artist.
He shapes them in such a way as to erase its roundness, guided by a process
of construction.
It emerges a power, a kind of certainty, a will.
Charlotte Bovy is a photographer who uses her photography as a support in a work of visual reconstruction.
In this new series presented, the reading is done in several times.
There is the underlying image, those of the oaks of the mythical forest of Fontainebleau. There is the architectural grid, which underlines the disproportion of these historical oaks of more than 300 years.
There is the stamping technique that blurs the border with painting. Finally, the use of this cardboard support from the wood - mise en abyme of the material - reinforces this patina, this notion of nostalgia or as the artist calls it Solastalgie (sadness felt in the loss of its place of comfort). Beautiful tribute to this forest that is called mosaic, which inhabits more than 700 remarkable trees.
Photogenic, they extend their endless branches that struggle to fit in their frame and that we find ourselves continuing in our mind.
