“Pools of Enchantment” Curated By Eugenia Durandy

Enigmatic Interplay: Marijana Jankovic’s mysterious carpet engages with Fleur Helluin’s vibrant painting, where the mundane and the ethereal entwine, birthing a nostalgic dreamland.

With 5 years in the industry, Eugenia has been working as an independent art dealer, artist manager, and curator with a variety of artists, galleries, and institutions, organizing and curating exhibitions. 

She specializes in emerging figurative painting and monumental sculpture.

Marijana Jankovic is a self-taught artist coming from Serbia. Her carpets, handmade in wool, and exploring pop culture in general as well as dreams and visions, strike by the tension between their often apparent naive motifs and the actual hard, patient work that is needed to produce them. 

The creations of Fleur Helluin take the form of paintings, sculptures,installations and performative installations. Fleur Helluin's work has been displayed in institutional and commercial spacesin France (Galerie Duchamp), Germany (AKA Galerie), Switzerland (Théâtre deMonthey), the United States (Tussle Projects), and in Belgium (L’Approche artcentre), and is represented by the Red-D gallery in Greece.

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.

Tunji Adeniyi-Jones  (b. 1982 in the UK) lives and works in the USA. His practice is inspired by the ancient history of West Africa and its attendant mythology, and by his Yoruba heritage.

Barbara Penhouet (b.1990 in France) lives and works as a painter and architect. In her work, Barbara explores the themes of ephemerality and human intimacy.
