Wilde is a contemporary art gallery with exhibition spaces in Basel and Geneva. This gallery’s Geneva venue spans 1000 square meters of exhibition space over two stories, where it hosts approximately six exhibitions yearly. With a 30-year legacy, Wilde has become a cornerstone in both the Swiss and international art scenes, curating a diverse program that showcases both established and emerging artists. The gallery also houses a bookshop and a restaurant.
Ernest Pignon-Ernest, born in 1942 in Nice, is considered one of the pioneers of street art. Through life-sized charcoal drawings pasted directly onto city walls, he creates powerful encounters between his human figures and the urban spaces they inhabit. Deeply engaged with social and political issues, his work reflects historical and contemporary struggles while maintaining a strong poetic and human presence.
Opening during the Nuit de Bains on Thursday 12 March at 18:00.
