The Spring / Summer 25 exhibition interweaves the work of two artists who use painting to explore the projective relationships between the body and its image. Drawing on investigations into colour, brushstrokes and surface, they construct a Mannerist-inspired visual approach. Their representation of figures, like character studies, evoke both the contagious sentimentalism of our time and feelings of constraint and alienation.

The two artists, who are from the Fribourg region, have conceived their exhibition as an intimate dialogue on painting. Jeremy takes his inspiration from narratives from the world of animé and illustration. He brings together references from classical painting and popular culture in a deliberately camp take. Azize Ferizi develops a more structural approach, integrating notions of repetition, gaze and pose in a general economy of the image.
