Almost tender – Visit with Samuel Gross

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents Almost tender, a series of paintings on canvas that inhabit an ambiguous atmosphere of strangely familiar figures and layered references. Across canvases he negotiates a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, deploying figuration, tonal contrasts and controlled brushwork to probe intimacy and unease.
The exhibition privileges psychological encounters: it evokes shifting perceptions of identity and the unsettled spaces between light and shadow. A guided curatorial perspective by Samuel Gross highlights the works’ tensions and interpretive openness.

In French.
