Léa Chotard was due to join the gallery for the inaugural exhibition in October 2025. Unfortunately, we learned of her passing with great sadness ahead of this opening. We then decided, in agreement with her family and in conjunction with her school, to organise an exhibition in her honour. So that her paintings could be seen and her work could live on.
Welcome to a sanctuary where the visible and the intangible merge.
Here, we are on the border between reality and the spectrum, where the double splits in two to reveal evanescent entities from elsewhere.
Can you feel the turmoil of a universe where the familiar dissociates itself, fragmenting time and identity to make way for the unknown? Fragmented forms bear witness to an in-between where past and present merge into a fragile unity, marking the loss, emptiness and dissociation of a memory that is gradually fading away. The red threads, tangled like a rewound ball of wool, guide the gaze here and nowhere, elsewhere and there. They invite you to see them, to feel them, to touch them... and to let yourself be carried away to an uncertain elsewhere.
Léa Chotard, for the EESAB graduate exhibition: Les creux forment les montagnes (Hollows form mountains)
