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.

Nick McPhail is a painter from Los Angeles.
In his architectural landscape paintings - Nick studied architecture - he captures the hazy glow and saturated tones of California. Depicting modernist buildings, power lines and cars against a background of green hills and trees, his paintings focus on the relationship between nature and the built environment. Painted from snapshots, McPhail's works offer somewhat voyeuristic views of anonymous buildings that emerge from behind fences and shrubs or from the tops of isolated hills. As if we were hidden with him behind a bush or a car.
Light is central in his paintings, it comes from the background. He often begins by applying strong paints - pink, orange or fluorescent violet - all over the canvas and building his compositions in translucent layers, a method inspired by traditional Renaissance techniques. The vibrant, contrasting color of this underpainting becomes an essential element of McPhail's work and builds the composition.
