Slumberland

Overview

Slumberland, the inaugural exhibition of the space, by visual artist Jade Fenu, will grace the walls of the second space of 193 Gallery. A painting-poem, his dreamlike works approach the material in a constant search for balance, oscillating between strength and fragility. A universal narrative combining the abstract and the figurative: this series shows the abundance of reality and imagination while questioning the current issues of our society.

Works

Jade Fenu's paintings show spaces with a great density of materials and colors, which refer to marine, mountainous and mysterious environments. The artist gives himself working principles, constraints to then release organic forms, responding to a desire for contact with nature. He explores different pictorial techniques between spontaneity of gesture and rigorous composition, in order to dialogue with his support. His gestures and prints compose worlds where the duality between man and nature and a fight between the elements are revealed. Thanks to his technique, developed as he explores the pictorial side of abstraction, he leaves visible passages, links and shared paths between individuals.
