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.
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.

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.
étage 19 is an association run by people who give art a home in Nidau. Above Schulgasse 19, two floors and a garden regularly turn into a gallery: works by regional artists, openings and finissages, music, conversation and a drink at the bar. Free entry, encounters included.
Our members and patrons make this possible. For 50 francs a year you're part of it — part of the community that keeps these spaces alive. Or support us with a donation of any amount. Both take seconds via Twint:
