A series of 119 unique silkscreen prints, most of which feature images taken from newspaper clippings that I first resized to a rectangular format with a ratio of 1/2, measuring 35 by 17.5 centimeters, then photocopied to produce positive silkscreen films, which I then silk-screened onto various types of paper: newspaper itself, 250g screen printing paper, sometimes enhanced with acrylic paint, or photocopies of press articles on acid-free paper. 

I have always had this irresistible and irrepressible need to gather and collect images, ever since I was a child. Back in the early 1990s, when I was living in Montreal and in New York, I would always buy the Sunday New York Times edition every week without fail, and I would quickly and eagerly scan through it, looking for images that would catch my eye. It didn't matter how they will atracted me, whether they provoked excitement, disgust, aversion, or simply emotion and/or desire!

Chrissy Moore Art Advisory (CMAA) is delighted to present Vanishing Points, a contemporary art exhibition opening this October at 1A Learmonth Place, Edinburgh, EH4 1AX. The exhibition is showcasing the work of eight distinctive contemporary artists whose practices explore shifting perspectives, transformation, and the interplay between the visible and the invisible. 
Featuring Sandy Coburn, Mike Crichton, Simon Middleton, Blake Milteer, Sarah Milteer, Jean-Pierre Sergent, Narelle Sissons, and Matthew Swift, Vanishing Points brings together painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Together, their works create a rich dialogue across disciplines, drawing audiences into an experience that is both intellectual and visceral. From large-scale canvases to finely detailed studies, the exhibition reveals how different artistic approaches can converge around universal themes of perception, space, and change...

From June 27 to September 13 2025, the Keller Gallery is hosting a group exhibition entitled “Bric à brac & impromptus II.”

Zurich gallery owner Heidi Suter has opened an art space in Besançon at 7 Rue Proudhon. This summer, she is presenting seven international artists, including Jean-Pierre Sergent, who is both an exhibiting artist and the curator of the exhibition.

Claude Boillon-Breton, from the Jura region, will bring the “lively and gentle presence of her small works of painting under glass” inhabited by “Birds of Paradise.”

Franco-German visual artist Barbara Dasnoy, an adopted daughter of Besançon and a graduate of ERBA, will show five of her vibrant works of color and geometric abstraction.

Born in Ireland, Eilbhe Donovan explores the relationship between humans and the sea, expressing her fascination with the oceanic world, “both seductive and treacherous, provider and destroyer,” capable of “bringing the greatest calm as well as the most total destruction.”

From the “calligrapher of the body and reinventor of myths,” the Swiss artist Jean-Michel Jaquet (now deceased), we will be able to discover five drawings in chalk, Indian ink, graphite, and other media, which deliver a credo: "Drawing cannot deceive; it always tells the truth about its author, whether skilled or unskilled, professional or occasional. All drawings are self-portraits." Read more (Photos by Eric Chatelain)
