Located in Jonction, the Usine Kugler is a cultural space situated within a former industrial building. Serving as a hub for the local art scene, the site accommodates numerous artists’ studios, offering both emerging and established artists a platform to present their work and interact with the public. The venue hosts a diverse range of events year-round, including exhibitions, concerts, and performances.
Eric Eriston Winarto presents a body of small oil paintings that treat the Swiss landscape as memory and pictorial research. Executed largely in A4 format, these fragmentary paintings—hills veiled in smoke, metallic roads, nocturnal scenes with phantom headlights, bluish forests—oscillate between observation and abstraction. Drawing on the legacy of Turner and Hodler, Winarto probes perception, tension and balance, using controlled yet enigmatic brushwork to suggest storms, glaciers and mist. The project questions how intimate, poetic images emerge from fleeting atmospheric states.
