Eliane Gygi presents a body of work where matter becomes light: painter, ceramicist and glass artist, she has developed since the 1980s compositions around glass and mirrors that evoke contemporary frescoes and mosaic-like textures. Her paintings and glass works balance presence and absence, with bold, luminous color fragments that capture and diffuse light beside bare mirrored surfaces that invite reflection. Alongside these, Gygi’s imagined architectural paintings depict clusters of asymmetrical houses in vivid landscapes. Maria Spada offers architectural jewellery—her Brutal Swiss series reimagines Swiss architecture, from Geneva fortifications to works by Zumthor and Botta, translating structural motifs into wearable forms.
