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)

Born in Morteau, Jean-Pierre SERGENT has been drawing and painting since his early childhood. After breeding Appaloosa horses in the Doubs region for several years, the artist decided to try his luck in the art world in Montreal, then New York, where he enjoyed considerable success. In 2005, he returned to France and set up his studio in Besançon. Exhibited at the MBAA and recognized by his peers, the artist has just opened the KELLER Gallery on Rue Proudhon with a friend.
A special program lasting over 90 minutes, in the form of an initiatory journey in which this passionate painter candidly discusses his career, his artistic and spiritual approach, his inspiration drawn from travel, women's art, and so much more...

- LAURENT DE PÉPÉCOYOTE: Hello, everyone. Today on Pépé-Coyote's Pépites on Radio Campus Besançon 102.4 FM, I welcome Jean-Pierre Sergent, a painter from Besançon and New York, to the show. We'll be talking about his journey from Haut-Doubs to the Americas and shamanic trance in this very special program, and above all about his artistic work, which can be understood as an artistic epic... Hello Jean-Pierre.
- JEAN-PIERRE SERGENT Hello! Hello dear PépéCoyote, it's a great pleasure to be here and I hope we can have an in-depth discussion on many important topics that are close to all our hearts.
- PPC: Radio Campus is not new to you, since you already did a show in 2020 with Aurélien Bertini, and it was at the Museum, I believe?
- JPS: Yes, it was a very nice show that we recorded at the Museum of Fine Arts in Besançon, and it lasted over an hour, and I filmed the whole thing with my camera. So, you can find it on my website.
- PPC: Jean-Pierre, were you born in Morteau? 
- JPS: Yes, in the Haut-Doubs area, in the mountains
- PPC: In the cold and the snow...

Opening reception Friday, June 27, 4 to 8 pm and Saturday, June 28, 2 to 7 pm
Closing reception Saturday, September 13, 2 to 7 pm
Opening hours: 2 to 7 pm, Wednesday to Saturday and by appointment. In general, the artist JPS and certain other artists will be present at the gallery on Saturday afternoons from 3 pm to 6 pm.
NB: From July 13 to August 20, the gallery will only be open by appointment with the gallery owner Heidi or JP Sergent.

Heidi Sutter, an experienced Swiss gallery owner, chose Besançon to open this space where international and local artists engage in dialogue. “It's a somewhat hidden place, you have to ring the bell to get in, but it creates an intimate, almost confidential atmosphere,” explains Jean-Pierre Sergent.
The current exhibition brings together five artists from very different worlds. Among them, Jean-Pierre pays tribute to his recently departed friend Guimbarde, whose work blends etchings with a sacred dimension. “He was an artist with great spiritual depth, and it's this part of him that we want to show.”

Jean-Pierre Sergent, an artist from Besançon with an international career, opens the doors of the Galerie Keller, an intimate and confidential space dedicated to sacred, mystical and committed art. Let's talk about a moving and inspiring exhibition:

Thierry Eme: So, I'm here with Jean-Pierre Sergent, a well-known artist who's come a long way - an International journey, you might say!

Jean-Pierre Sergent: Yes, Thierry, it's always a great pleasure to talk to you, because you have a great interest in artists and in art in general.

T. E.: So, we're in a gallery that opened a few months ago.

J-P. S.: Yes, we opened in December. It's my friend Heidi Suter, who has been a gallery owner in Zurich for 40 years and couldn't find a new space there, so she moved to Besançon to open a gallery that will show international and local artists too.
