Close Encounter brings together French artist and draughtsman Jérôme Zonder and Swiss sculptor Jan Steenman in a focused dialogue on portraiture, the body, and material presence. Zonder’s small-format drawings, made with pencil, graphite, and charcoal, hover between likeness, caricature, and abstraction, while his fingertips leave visible traces in the pigment. Steenman’s ceramic sculpture Numinous explores a hidden human presence absorbed within form. Together, their works shift between recognition and estrangement, rewarding close and sustained looking.
Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00
