Close Encounters by Elham Etemadi and Petals by Anna Peter-Breton.
The fragmented memories in 'Close Encounters' and the interwoven corollas of 'Petals' are presented to the viewer as clues to unravel an enigma. Within this intricate tapestry of colors and visions, lies something concealed from plain sight—it might be love, time, identity, anything tinged by the delicate hues of our vulnerabilities."

Anna Peter-Breton (b. 1985 in Hungaria) lives and works in Paris. Her joyful imagination takes the viewer to the most cherished places of her human and artistic journey. Whether it be a nude, a vanishing face, a cherry blossom or a landscape, her paintings are the expressions of her physical travels, as well as her inner journeys. They depict Anna’s deepest feelings and emotions linked to particular places or encounters.
Elham Etemadi (b.1983 in Iran ) lives and works in Paris. A doctorate in visual art at the University of Strasbourg in 2018, her work explores through fragmented and colorful composition the themes of memory and nostalgia.

Sophie Neuendorf
The Curators have invited Sophie Neuendorff to create a conversation between two contemporary painters. Sophie Neuendorf is Vice President at Artnet and Professor at IE University in Madrid.
Sophie selected Astral Reflections by Tunji Adeniyi-Jones and La Cage by Barbara Penhouet
From the dancing fugue of a female figure in Tunji Adeniyi-Jones's artwork to the iridescent birds seemingly ensnared in Barbara Penhouet's open cage painting, one witnesses a captivating conversation about the lightness of being. Both works eloquently express a delicate yet fervent desire to break free, to transcend, and to take flight.
