Charles M Rose consists of Sylvie Mermoud and Pierre Bonard, two artists creating a single work… To tell the truth, drawing ‘with four hands’ is, after all, still drawing with two hands, even if – as one might imagine – it involves two fully-fledged individuals. With Charles M Rose, it is the alternation that prevails. And even if one or the other finds themselves working alone at any given moment, it is important to note the great consideration within this drawing duo: each preparing the ground for the other. It is thus in the development of the composition that the truly collaborative nature of the work comes to the fore. And in this interplay of give and take, one is truly reminded of a dance… It is not exactly a ballroom dance that these drawings bring to mind. The world in which Charles M Rose operates – from the mineral to the vegetal, from the menacing to the soothing, from fluid to rough, from supple to rigid, from dark to luminous, from the burlesque to the tragic – from the death drive to the life drive, as the Freudians would say – all of this makes our gaze waltz. Here we are in the midst of a dance that is both macabre and joyful. I call it ‘a tango on the edge of the precipice’. Christian Pellet

Arno Louis is a multidisciplinary artist based in Biel. His practice revolves around painting, dance and interdisciplinary performance. Through his artistic universe, he explores the tensions between our humanity and the natural world in which we live.

My painting project “Recherche d’harmonie” explores the complex relationship between human beings and nature. The bird becomes a figure of freedom and resistance in the face of the transformations imposed on the living world. Through reclaimed supports, colours and forms inspired by its habitat, the works question our place within the living world and our ability to rediscover an ecological, emotional and collective harmony. During the closing event, Arno Louis extends this research through the interdisciplinary performance “Frôler le ciel”. Through silhouettes and rear projections, the project explores our quest for freedom in a world where constraints shape and limit us, but never manage to extinguish the desire to take flight and emancipate ourselves.

Born in 1999 in Moutier, Philémon Léchot is an artist and architect based in Biel. A graduate with a Master’s degree in architecture from ETH Zurich and a member of Visarte Bern, he has developed an artistic practice centred on drawing and printmaking. Seeing his practice as a means of maintaining an intimate relationship with the world, he draws inspiration from his everyday observations.

The drawings and engravings on display form part of a new series marking a shift in his practice, moving towards the creation of more intricate works. This shift responds to a need to slow down and allow more space for the process of drawing itself. The long hours spent hatching become a space where contradictory ideas, visions and sensations can coexist.

Kaspar Flück, born in 1989 in Solothurn, lives and works as an artist in Basel. After completing the foundation course and studying graphic design at the School of Design in Bern and Biel, he developed a painting practice situated between landscape, abstraction, and imagination. His multilayered oil paintings explore atmosphere, light, and materiality, evoking landscapes as elusive threshold spaces between physical presence and fleeting apparition.

In the E19 group exhibition, landscape appears in Kaspar Flück’s work as a threshold space: remote, still, and resistant to any precise location. Dark plains and distant mountain ranges dissolve into diffuse light, while in the large work the landscape reveals itself through a cave-like opening. At its centre stands a luminous form, at once a presence and an enigma. The smaller works distil this pictorial world into horizon, light, and atmosphere. Between gravity and stillness, darkness and illumination, landscape becomes less a place than a state of perception. Something emerges, takes form for a moment, and already begins to disappear.
