23 January – 19 April

Ghislaine Heger presents a photographic series of portraits that foreground 101 women from French-speaking Switzerland and their experiences of ageing and gray hair. Combining portrait photography with each subject’s own testimony, the work examines social expectations, gendered scrutiny and the intimate moments that surround a visible change.
The exhibition evokes questions of identity, dignity and resilience, offering nuanced, gentle accounts that reveal how personal histories intersect with broader cultural attitudes toward ageing.

Tuesday 27 January, 18:00

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents a body of paintings that stage ambiguous, often hybrid figures—part human, part animal, serial androids and distorted, sometimes monstrous bodies. Combining grotesque allusion with ironic self-reflection, he mixes genres and pictorial techniques to render surfaces alternately smooth and vibrating, fracturing legibility.
A composed soundtrack threads through the installation, amplifying the exhibition’s uneasy pulsation. The works negotiate a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, revealing vulnerability beneath playful, unsettling imagery.

6 November 2025 – 15 April 2026

The exhibition delves into the realism, drama, and emotional intensity of 17th-century Dutch artists influenced by Caravaggio. The works of Gerrit van Honthorst and Judith Leyster exemplify the bold use of light and shadow to capture everyday life with theatrical intensity. Their contributions left a significant impact on the art of the era, paving the way for new expressions of the human condition.

Opening during the Art en Vieille-Ville collective vernissage on Thursday, November 6, from 16:00 to 21:00.

23 January – 28 February

Lovay Fine Arts presents Une chose est à une autre, a new exhibition by Ligia Dias, whose work explores the subtle relationships between objects, images, and meanings. Through installations and sculptural gestures, Dias creates visual chains in which forms echo, transform, and quietly shift from one state to another, inviting viewers to question how things connect, overlap, or slip into new interpretations. Her practice is marked by a refined attention to materiality and context, operating in a space where perception, language, and intuition meet.

22 January – 21 February

Niels Hung, a graduate of HEAD–Genève, investigates his multicultural identity through painting shaped by American and Asian visual cultures. His works—repainted canvases and mixed-format paintings—often reappropriate images found online and in the street, interrogating contemporary image production and its slipperiness. Employing layered pictorial strategies and referential iconography, Hung stages a critical dialogue that oscillates between fascination and critique. He also joined the Work.Master teaching team in 2024 and engages with questions of artistic production and the artist’s condition.

4 December 2025 – 30 January 2026

At her London studio, Alexandra Jabre channels cosmic forces into luminous forms, bodies and encounters through virtuosic watercolor and acrylic works, where spiritual and sensual energies intertwine; with Connections, Analix Forever presents her first solo exhibition at the gallery, an exploration of invisible links—human, natural and otherworldly—echoing a contemporary return to themes once explored by the surrealists.

Opening on Thursday 4 December, 18:00.
