Located in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, Gowen Contemporary is a contemporary art gallery known for supporting emerging and established Swiss and international artists. Founded in 2009, it delivers an ambitious program of exhibitions, curatorial projects, and participation in major international art fairs. With an open and experimental approach, Gowen highlights innovative artistic practices while fostering dialogue across generations and artistic mediums.
Beninese-born artist Roméo Mivekannin presents a series of paintings that investigate intimacy, memory and cultural identity. Working predominantly in acrylic on canvas, his canvases combine figurative portraiture with bold colour fields and textured surfaces. Works such as Anna in Red Kimono (2024) demonstrate a careful attention to costume, gesture and materiality, negotiating personal narrative and broader diasporic histories. The exhibition emphasises painterly craft and the tensions between representation and abstraction.
