Landscape painting revisited... Sobering Galerie invites you to discover its new exhibition, Domino Days, from May 24 to June 16, 2024. This second solo show byAdrien Fricheteau, a graduate of HEAD in Geneva and Beaux-Arts in Paris, transports us into a world where romantic landscapes rub shoulders with enigmatic scenes. Here, the artist offers a profound reflection on pictorial archetypes and the role of art in contemporary society.
Among the works on display, visitors can admire poetic landscapes reminiscent of the paintings of the 19th-century Swiss school, notably those by Félix Vallotton. From the rosy-blue mountains of Tempête en forêt to the melancholy sunsets of Chienchien, each painting is an invitation to contemplation. Fricheteau not only revisits the classic codes of landscape painting, he subverts them by integrating humorous sculptural elements into his frames, creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
The Domino Days exhibition is also marked by the originality of the frames sculpted by the artist himself. Far from being mere accessories, these frames add a new narrative dimension to each work. The two Medallions presented here testify toAdrien Fricheteau 's mastery of both painting and sculpture, offering a complexity and elegance reminiscent of the work of a goldsmith. This superimposition of techniques and registers lends an unprecedented depth to the paintings on display.
Blending critical reflection on the mythology of the creative artist with refined pictorial technique, Adrien Fricheteau invites us to rethink the function of contemporary painting. Domino Days is a not-to-be-missed exhibition for those wishing to explore the boundaries between art and society, while appreciating the beauty of masterfully executed works. An opportunity to plunge intoAdrien Fricheteau 's spellbinding universe at Sobering Galerie.
